More JOEL PLASKETT EMERGENCY 10th ANNIVERSARY ; THE NIGHT THE STAGE BROKE AT THE PAVILLION

The kids seemed to love it .

More moments from the Joel Plaskett Emergency 10th Anniversary files .

We are currently in the Glenn Gould Studio , CBC Toronto , waiting to rock Joel's new tune , on A Rail , to be broadcast on CBCradio and CBC Bold sometime soon .

The EMERGENCY's 10th Anniversary has gone nearly unnoticed by one and all ; we'd be remiss not to reminisce a bit for ol' tymes sake , eh ? We'll be posting some photos from throughout the years ( Those hardscrabble years ... when we never knew where our next buy-out was coming from ! When you slept three in a room ! Instead of two ) . That's all in the past now . Now , one can sit back and savour the rewards of hard work and determination from the comforts of home , and look back with satisfaction at a job well done . And forward , to a job tomorrow morning painting Steph's folks condo . Dig the memories .
