Soooooo long...

05/30/2011

Oh, my god! It's been so long since I've been on here. What's been happening? It's it still like the good ol' Bloop I remember? Does anyone here even remember me? Or know who the hell I am?
Well, for those who do.., here's a likkle update.
Declan's turned eight. Piper's about to turn five! They're growing up so fast it's scary. Things are great at home between me and Sarah and the kids. We've got a dog now. I didn't want a dog but I felt it would be unfair on my part to keep the rest of the family from having one. And, you know what? I'm glad we got her. She's a great dog and a great addition to the family. Her name's Kali, she's nearly two years old now, and she's a tri-colour border collie.
I'm still doing all of my 3D stuff. Still using Blender to do it. You can have a good ol' browse but going to http://dodgydavec.deviantart.com. I also have my own website with my own name as the URL. davecollison.com,davecollison.com/blog and davecollison.com/entertainment.
Karaoke is still big in my life. It's something I'm good at and something I love doing. I'm getting on average two gigs a week. It's tiring but soooo worth it. But now I also actively do my Roy Orbison tribute too! I actually found a band! It's a great quintet called the Dave Stark Five. Dave Stark is actually quite big and well known in the music industry, is a big Roy Orbison fan and even knows Roy's widow, Barbara Orbison, personally!
Since meeting the band back in Oct/Nov 2010, I've been to all of there Sunday (once a month) Jam session, joined up with them for rehearsals, we've add Glen Knowler (an amazing George Harrison lookalike) to the mix and officially formed a group called the Trembling Wilburys! (Tribute to the Traveling Wilburys)
We had our first official gig on the 23rd of April to celebrate Roy Orbison's 75th birthday. It was a great night and an amazing experience for me. So there you go. I'm a singer in a band. lol
And I'm still driving the school bus, too. The only thing that seems to be missing now is the huge amounts of money anyone would assume I'm earning from all this activity! What's going on there?
So, anyway, that's me and my life right now. I'm on facebook and twitter if anyone wants to join me in either of those places. Catch you later, bloopies!
