I’ve just finished watching a documentary about Margaret Mitchell, the woman who wrote Gone With The Wind. The last line in the documentary were Margaret Mitchell’s words “ I wrote about people who had gumption, and people who didn’t.” I must have lots of gumption to keep writing music in this era of life on earth, and the sea of garbage that music has become. Don’t get me wrong there’s lots of great music out there. I’m a fan of Ed Sheeran, The Biebs, Dua Lipa, Dojo Cat, Shawn Mendes, and everyone who makes great music. 

I realize that my lot in life is to provide a release, a pleasant place to come to, where the worries of the world disappear, and I’m content with that for the most part. 

I did write Sittin On A Rock in response to some things that were bugging me, but I didn’t point any fingers or name any names. I just tried to make it a good groove. 

That’s A Sign was released in December 2021 and I still like it. Some radio guy in Toronto called me “that quirky but lovable singer.” I guess I’m both of those, especially if you get to know me. 

We (Doug Ross and I) are about to release She’s Thinkin and Good To Go which will really help this repetiore. I’m thankful to Doug for all he does for this project. Dale Rivard has played some great steel guitar. Gerry Markman, Alvin Light, Mitch Lewis and John Bojcic, have all contributed dynamite guitar stuff.
