This Is Our Home (8:30 Newfoundland)

I am always tinkering with songs. Even after I’ve recorded them, I still find myself going back and tweaking them. Nudging them one way or another. Running sandpaper over them to smooth out any rough edges that I might have…

“Havelock, New Brunswick – 1978”

I remember the first time I ever set foot (or skate) on a hockey rink. It was in December 1972, at the outdoor rink up by the Cement Plant houses in Havelock, New Brunswick. I was four years old. My…

“Dance Ruby, Dance”

I remember it as if it were a meal ago. I wrote “Dance Ruby, Dance” back in July of 2005. Ruby’s first birthday. One day, I was playing my guitar, and Ruby, who was just learning to walk, suddenly stopped…

“Upon Further Review…”

I am sitting in an airport bar in Edmonton, having what I swear will be my last pint (at least for a while anyway) while trying to process the last week. And WHAT a week it was! As is always…

“The Song Harvester EP – Vol. 1”

At any given time I’m working on about 80 different songs. Some songs are almost done. Some are just a thumbnail sketch. Some are co-written. Some songs I’ve been slogging away on my own for decades. Other songs slide off…

“Steel Belted Radio”

In August of 1997, I was at a radio station in Calgary promoting our new song, “Rattle The Cage.”  While on the air, the D.J. and I were laughing it up, going back and forth.  Lots of fun.  He played…

Havelock, New Brunswick – 1978

There is something that happens when you walk back into the rink after the summer away. As you take that first rush of cold air into your lungs, you are hit with a combination of smells. The smell of dressing…

The C.I. West In Edmonton in August of 1988

In May of 1988, I took a gig fronting a rock band from Saskatoon called “Last Child”.  As far as I was concerned, all my dreams had come true. I was on my way!  We were playing six nights a week…
