Well, It’s been an incredible last few months, traveling to California, Newfoundland, Yellowknife and almost everywhere in between! There have also been some amazing moments at home, including (most recently) my daughter’s 6th birthday. My tomatoes survived the rainy summer, our beautiful autumn in Prince Edward Island made up a bit for all the wet […]

Silhouette… out today!
Hey folks, Just back from the Stan Rogers Folk Festival in Canso, NS. It is truly one of the last “real” folk festivals, in the tradition of the 60’s folks song and singer/songwriters with a good mix of traditional Irish and Scottish music thrown in as well. We had a great time playing and seeing […]
Home, home on the range…
Hey folks, Back again on the Dixon Road once more… home of legendary parties, great food, wonderful neighbours, and me. I am one lucky folk singer. I just got back from a trip to San Francisco and Yosemite where Chris and I played the amazing Strawberry Music Festival. So, imagine being in one of the […]
Home for a while…. next – Manitoba
Well, I am back from Ontario, Quebec, Ireland and Nova Scotia. I had an incredibly busy winter and now I’m excited to celebrate the first day of spring!!! Can it be true? It sure doesn’t feel like spring tonight in PEI. The snow is blowing and the ice keeps forming but the moon is out […]
Ireland

Waiting for a beautiful meal that’s being prepared for us, I thought I’d let you know what’s going on. I’m here in Ireland with Dave Gunning, Ron Hynes and (soon) Rose Cousins. A little […]

Here I Am
Hey Folks, I’m slowly transferring all of my old posts over here to WordPress. It’s been a long time overdue. Myspace has been failing me in so many ways for so long. Soon I will give it up entirely. It is very winterish here in PEI. Snow covers everything and will be here to stay […]
Texas to Toronto
Originally posted : March 17, 2010 These days are all seeming like a blur. People and places whizzing past as I jet around this crazy world of ours. And it’s a beautiful thing. I’m finding myself a bit out of whack today. It doesn’t seem real, but the weather in Austin is amazing. This is […]
Summer Changes

January Buzz – The Great Northwest: part 2
Here is the rest of the tale of my northwestern adventure with Kim Barlow and Raghu Lokanathan, continued from the December Buzz. The second part of our trip, from Whitehorse to Vancouver, started out with a bang – literally. An explosion to be exact. I’ve always imagined the worst happening on airplanes, since I was […]
