Just thought I'd share a video from a show we played a little while ago. We did a large rendition of Dylan's You Ain't Goin' Nowhere for a finale. Enjoy.

If anyone's interested, below is a link to my band's myspace. It has dates for shows in downtown Montreal and some pics.

This song is from a few years ago. I've always loved Samson and Delilah as a subject and it feels like perfect fodder for songwriters. Here's my take I guess. Thanks again for listening, nice to be back.

Oh Delilah
To think that love could be so tricksome
Right when you finally found it
Oh my god who knew the vines could uproot such a sturdy tree?

Why'd I let you cut all my hair?
Trade my locks for mocking, stocks, and chains?

I think I'm gonna stretch my arms just a little bit wider
Reach just a little bit wider
And then we'll see
I think I'm gonna push with the force of the heavens
The mighty heavens
And then we'll see
who's still laughin'
When it all, comes crumblin' down
Crumblin' down


Who knew Delilah
A heart of coal could beat so warmly
Why'd I fall
For the oldest trick in the book?

Before I was born
My mother was barren
So she prayed to god
God please give me a son
And oh my god if she could see me now

I think I'm gonna stretch my arms just a little bit wider
Reach just a little bit wider
And then we'll see
I think I'm gonna push with the force of the heavens
The mighty heavens
And then we'll see
who's still laughin'
When it all, comes crumblin' down
Crumblin' down

Oh Delilah
To think that love could be so tricksome

It's nice to reconnect on BandAmp! I started this account when I was ~15 years old, that was more than twenty years ago. I've been writing since, mostly during February Album Writing Month so most of the songs I'm sharing are from selected February's. In the past two decades I've done quite a bit, including having a child who's now 3.5 and moving into a house with a piano.

This is a lullaby I wrote for her just before she was born in 2021 and arranged for piano. Thanks for listening and lovely to be back!

A song about wanting to crawl up inside a memory and just stay there for a little while.

Is anyone still here?

I  got the inspiration from the flavour on a bottle of kefir in the fridge but it worked. Here's a very fresh one, just wrote it in the last hour. Any comments welcome, thanks for listening.

She brings me,
Strawberries and honey
Juniper and tulips in bloom
Champagne and oysters
Fresh garlands of wildflowers and sweet perfume

But it, always takes me by surprise
That I should know her at all
Strawberries and honey and roses that's all

I bring her,
Sweet tea and oranges
Soft music and rose gold diamond rings
Fresh cheese and hot black coffee
Kind words and gentle winds

But it, always takes her by surprise
That she should know me at all
Strawberries and honey and roses that's all

And when asked,
How do we pray to that great maker above?
With strawberries and honey and roses and love, love, love
