This site used to be written by two Canadian brothers, Jody and Phillip Cairns. One lives in Newfoundland and the other lives in New Brunswick. They’re both originally from Nova Scotia. This is how they looked in December 2003.
They pretty much look the same today as they did back then. They even wear the same winter coats. Jody got himself a new fuel-efficient car and Phillip crashed his mountain bike into a tree, but the coats remain the same.
Jody started up Steel White Table sometime in 2003 because he was bored. Then Phillip got all excited and began posting stuff after he heard a song of his play on the now-defunct Whole Wheat Radio. Those were the halcyon days, the golden age of Steel White Table.
Inevitably, life got in the way. Kids, mortgage payments, mowing the lawn, buying groceries, cleaning up dog poop — you know, living the dream. Hence, Jody isn’t around much these days and Phillip left on October 10th, 2011, and hasn’t been seen since. He seems happy to hang out with his honey bees instead.
Jody’s still waiting for someone to buy him the OED for his birthday.
