It’s not everyday I decide to do my own YouTube video, but after all the show’s done, I thought it would be good idea to show a little mash of a few songs (Wonderwall, Say it Ain’t So, Sweet Child o Mine, Blister in the Sun) from one my many live shows. YouTube is such a powerful tool that I may revisit this idea again with some of my original songs. Here’s the link check it out” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eek4ogW-65I
Long December
30 DecAhh December, end of the year, end of a day, end of minute. This month was the grand finale to a year which saw almost 50 gigs. To celebrate I think I may hibernate for January/February and re-immerge in March 2014 a completely different singer-songwriter performer.
December’s climax was 4 straight gigs in a row, and the toll on my voice was so apparent that by the last show of the year (Dec.23rd)
I had a healthy supply of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with honey, lemon, ginger and red hot sauce next to me for support. Happy xmas.

When does a gig, stop being a ‘gig’, and becomes an event? When you play a great golf course lounge. That’s what I did twice in late October at the world renowned ‘Glen Abbey Golf Course’, where I played in their beautiful Eighteen Lounge and Restaurant to professional golfers and exclusive club members.
While bar mitzvah, weddings were going on in the hall beside me, I was doing every hit from 1961 to around 1988 to appease every demographic present while they ate their dinner, or sipped their martinis.
A common sign language occurrence would happen as I would get a ‘thumbs up’, ‘head nod’, ‘eye blink’ from patrons as they listened. As I’d perform, I’d also stare out of a large window, which had a fantastic view of the golf course, and a ‘RBC Canadian Open’ sign, it was a pretty mind-blowing. Four!
