Proof of Love has won the 2009 Juno award for Best Roots/solo album of the year!
Took up the banjo as an instrument of unconquerable joy. Have been dragging it through some kind of ego muck ever since. Some highs of true faith and belief in the world and the possibilities of change. Many lows. Moved to the country, live above a garage, seeing more in the woods all the time. Abiding love for Teresa. New wonderful people everywhere. I seem to be made of more and more wonderful people and less and less of hopeful books.

I'm really excited to have uploaded to myspace my first
video! It's called 'A Day At The Country
Show'. I'd love you to check it out and
let me know what you think.
thanks for the addin' Old Man L! Still hoping you'll find your way west one of these days, or I'll be lucky enough to catch a show some bright shining day in eastern Canada.
