This week's newsletter up on Substack talks about this topsy-turvy world we're living in and features another new song (this is becoming a habit...a good habit!!), "People Doing Wrong"- this one goes out to the Trumps and oligarchs of the world, doing their best to make our lives worse. #musicsky

It's hard to describe the importance of music in my life, but this new song comes pretty close, and definitely gets me in the feels.

Fun show at Meyers Creek on Saturday. Thanks to the Belleville crew who came out. We laughed, we danced...and I even made someone cry with my solo rendition of "Sleepy Small Town"...that's when you really know you're doing your job as a singer-songwriter.

"Neil Young left an indelible imprint on me as an artist...He offered me an example of what it means to follow the muse, to try new things, to shift gears, to not cater to people, or play the game of attempting to create something you think people will want to hear."

Neil Young Turns 80!! ( slide guitar cover of "For The Turnstiles")
Neil Young has been hugely influential on me musically for sure, but more importantly, because of his uncompromising approach as an artist.

This week on substack: What to do about the Dreaded Low Ticket Show Cancellation Virus?
Plus, reaching into the vault for a live recording of Tom Savage Trio in Banff, AB way back in 2011. The never-been-released Mexican cartel, drug-smuggling song, "Tijuana Sand". It's a barnburner!!
