Weekly auditions are keeping me in the game and my head just above the water line. One for a new K-OS video and a print shoot. Just waiting for the call...
Just finished working on the new Our Lady Peace video (now known as OLP). At least that's what it said on their band equipment. I'm the third criminal in the video, the one with the glistening boots and tight-fitting jacket.
New record being recorded now in my new recording studio. Pictures of the outside to come when the outside is complete. Working on it.
Busy, busy, busy... More to come when I have ... time.
I just completed and released a 14 song album of my own work now available on iTunes, CDBaby and independent record stores everywhere.

I landed in Canada on a BOAC jetliner from Scotland as a little kid. The first time I heard a Beatles song my mother was tossing carefully wrapped butter and sugar sandwiches to me out our apartment window for lunch. A blissful, singular moment. At the same time my friends were happily beating the British accent out of me.
"You have a punkish/60s/psychedelic edge to your sound.... your music has a cool gritty vibe that works well with the lyrics that you write. Your vocal delivery is original and has a real raw kind of feel that fits your songs well....Nice electric guitar textures.... you've got a gift for writing very poetic, associative lyrics....Unique verse lyrics that are evocative and poetic. I can hear the Kinks influence in your verse melody! This has a great, convincing retro sound....you have a great aesthetic about your music."
I tap into my instincts, read my intuitions and put them to work in the Now. Integrating learning and doing for the peak creative experience. When responsibility to what's expected disappears I'm there. I've been trying not to tell anyone, but it was inevitable.
Coming to life in Toronto, post-20th century, these songs are hand-crafted from stories, dreams, poems, twisted syntax, hopeless optimism, and nameless joy. Some people hear voices. I catch flying sandwiches of deeper meaning.
