Of course I named the show after the great album by the Smittens and I pay homage to the band by using a clip of their song 11:11 for my theme. I hope the band doesn't mind, but when I have talked to various members of the band after shows they seem like nice people whom I think would be good with it.

I also use this name for my DJ night happening occasionally at the Jane Bond in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Note that the links to shows older than 6 months might not be working, if you really want those shows please send me an email and I can get them to you. (Note that prior to 2018 I called my podcast FireballXL5, so don't be confused if you look at an old setlist)

Special thanks to Jeff Woods for finding my a place to host my mp3s!


August 20, 1999 

As various members of this mailing list were our west last week (some
horseback riding), me, Michelle, and Peter Brown put on our cowboy boots,
chaps, and 10 gallon hats to play a few sets about horses and alt-country
in general.  As well other songs were played for reasons I highlight
below.

Michelle and I just got back from a 5 day canoe trip this weekend to
Algonquin park, it was very exhausting but fun.  Although Michelle
threatened to play a set about camping last weekend she never did, so we
will this week, if you have songs about camping, canoeing, being outdoors,
or songs that just remind you of any of these things, send them along.
