Ray Montford, my favourite indie band from Toronto. They create experimental instrumental soft rock tunes which are very pleasing to listen to every now and then. This is a live performance of their track "Believe In Angles" from their album "Fragile Balance"Dire Straits is one of my all time fav bands. Here is a live performance of their rarely played instrumental piece titled "Going Home".

I have been fascinated by airplanes since I was a kid, bad part is that my dad never liked airplanes or anything to do with it.
