Because this page is less visible than my 'original' profile page, I want to wish all that follow this page this jump-start 2021 New Year's wish. Music is a healer. Music is a motivator. Music is a peace-maker. Music is an agent of cause and effect. Music is hopeful. Music is educational. Music is a tear-maker. Music is a vehicle for laughter. Music is cause for contemplation.

The bottom display is the We Are All Poets CHUM-FM super sessions with Dan Lanois in 1977 recorded at the CNE. Lower left is Studio/Live - 1988 featuring Love & Lust, that got me on the Q-107 Homegrown album - 1988 and an appearance at The Diamond Club in Toronto with the hastily assembled One Night...Continue reading

Today I post this song/video - Better Days Ahead - in celebration of science, with regards to the vaccine introduction to North America. Science indeed, is humanity's only hope for survival into the future. "I see better days ahead like sunshine through the clouds I see better days ahead like green through the snow on the ground... I see better days ahead like the path over the bog I see better days ahead like the lighthouse through the fog" https://youtu.be/JBtfUiXH7Zs See more
