Today is The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

Recently, I composed a piece of music, especially for this day. It's my attempt, and an instrumental piece, to convey some of the soul searching that we must do on this day and every day.

Sneak peek time! I’ve been working a lot this week on my new all-vocal recording. Wonderful LA-based songwriter Joey Dosik wrote this beautiful song, titled “Running Away,”very much in the Philadelphia soul style of the early 70s.
