The beautiful side of trash.

This is so great on so many levels. Love the communal experience and the musical sensibility that lies in us all. Brilliance. Stand up and jump along...

2 Weeks of Shire Music Camps have been awesome in Burnaby and Surrey. The creative capacity of kids inspired me. We wrote songs, jammed, made music vids, recorded... - thanks all who participated.

the Value of Music Education

1st Day of Rock School at Stoney Creek Community School with 10 great kids.

The Shire today launched into Taylor Park Elementary School in South Burnaby with a new Preschool Music & Movement class.

Some artists when I hear them I buy their whole anthology. That happened when a friend introduced me to Josh Garrels about a year ago. Now you can too as he is giving away all 5 albums for 2 weeks. Enjoy some free music and if you like it support a good cause.

Megan Bryden who has taught at the Shire and helped launch our musical initiative is performing in Saint Matthews Passion with other musical guests. I'm sure it will be a beautiful evening of classical music.

Raise my hands - Paint my spirit gold - And bow my head Feel my heart slow.

A few pics as the Shire emerged...
