Cannon Law_ Long live the Short lived bands


'Canon Law' Live- Mesa, AZ (Story below)
Band members (L to R): James, Larry, Dug, and Gray


How many things in this lifetime do we start and have to give them up because we "unknowingly" overwhelm ourselves....again. I think this is pretty common for people who have a lot of interests. On the one hand, it seems like a lot of time could have been saved with a willful "No", but on the other, memorable experiences (like playing in front of an audience) and new friends are always gained from these endeavors. So, here's the story of Cannon Law.


Canon Law is a perfect example of that band who found each other through a like passion of music (and craigslist), committed to practices, agreed upon a name ('Canon Law' is a law from the Catholic doctrine meaning "eye for eye"... in few words or less. Inevitably this band will have to go their separate ways because of personal priorities. There are always the guys or girls whose lives only afford them enough time to play for fun, versus those who can pursue becoming the next great cover band (and apparently you can make pretty decent side money at bars).

Regardless of Canon Law's situation, they did get to play a show together a few weeks ago for Kristy's birthday in Mesa, AZ. And whether or not they can pull off a few more shows, I think everyone has had a good time shaking the walls every week at the CA Ramp Works Warehouse. . And, apparently Gray was playing real well this night, because Spring said "Yes!" to his proposal. Congrats you two! What a night!
