thanks lisa - so glad you connected with the NW Passage piece (which i call "To Live in the Age of Melting". I will be recording it on CD in the fall. For now, i believe it will be posted (along with the rest of the concert) on the FGC site via youtube.

Although I treasured the energy of all your songs, like others I was entranced by Northwest Passage, and feel blessed to have experienced you and the song live in that space with others feeling likewise entranced. In reflection, it felt very much like a "gathered" meeting. When can we share it with others via MP3 or CD?

Our standing ovation for you after The Northwest Passage was not just support. I, and I am sure most of us were enthralled by what you have created. I liked the synthesized repetition and the paairing of the two stories. You took me deep into contemplation.

mystery of the crumbly spelt and…
Alright, three things. Number one is that i was doing a bit of internet research about baking bread with spelt flour, and to my great delight, i discovered why my two previous attempts to make bread using spelt were extremely crumbly, and not as great as i thought they should be, considering my past bread [...]

My very fun show at the Tranzac last week was followed immediately by getting struck down by a merciless flu, which had me bedridden for several days. Got up from my sickbed to go into CBC to play a fun game of “Just a Minute” (fans of BBC Radio may know this game…check out the [...]

A very fun show was had at the Tranzac Club in Toronto: with band and bicycle: ..the opening set was trying out a new series that I’m working on called “Two Wheeled Words: a spoken word cycle” or maybe it’s a song cycle, I’m not totally sure yet what it is, but it includes playing [...]
