Wayne’s reputation as an emerging "Blues Guitarist" was gaining positive momentum with in Southern Ontario, Canada. Butler often stated that Janus was one "Mean Blues Guitarist!”

 

When Janus wasn't on tour with “Wild Child”, he would perform at festivals and various music venues. At the turn of the millennia, Wayne was invited by Bassit Bill Berman to record demo tracks at a professional recording studio run by Dan Jefferies. The sole intent of the recording session was to have some sound clips for promoting new venues and festivals. At the end of the session, Janus booked more studio time to further explore the inspiration he felt from the studio environment. Many of these demo recordings took place from 2000-2003. Recording gave Wayne the reference point to critique himself not only as a Musician, but as a Songwriter.
