When I was 25, I was hell bent on being a songwriter. Looking back, I wonder if I had enough songs in me at the time that needed to come out. Today, with a lifetime of experiences in my rear-view mirror, I’ve jumped back on the songwriting saddle to see if the boots fit any better at this end of the journey
The Latest Rough Cut March 30
EMPTY STEEL
This is a song that started as story about my recent retirement but took a sharp left turn and got reinvented on the fly into a metaphorical country and western ballad….now how’s that for tangly? Have a listen to the back story and maybe it will make a little more sense (Apologies for the lighting and the “one take” fumbles, I had to fit this one in between getting more wood for the fire and building a “medals” shelf for my second grandsons birthday!)
What's New
Friday Night Kitchen Party
It’s great to see music becoming such a big part of our lives during the COVID-19 crisis. Virtual kitchen parties are popping up everywhere, as people get to enjoy the expansive talents that have always existed within our communities. At times like these, it’s no trouble to see how music is a significant part of our culture!
On April 3rd, the Reposado Project joined the community as I hosted a Facebook Live event that reached out to community kitchen parties in NL and NS. I have to say it was a bit hectic to get started, and to follow the comments (on my smart phone), but in the end it a a great experience, and I encourage others to do the same! The cool thing about these events is that the post remains after the show, enabling many others to take a peak at their leisure. As of Saturday morning, this event had 1,500+ views and counting. Thanks so much to those who dropped by, and to everyone….stay safe!
