Oakville, 2002.12.29

We said our farewells and left the Ottawa area bright and early and raced down the length of the MacDonald-Cartier highway to Oakville where the Masterson clan was having an extended get-together. We belatedly told everyone "Merry Xmas" and had a nice dinner with a bazillion people.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
