Spent a whole day doing a songwriting workshop with students in the Sunwest school division as part of the division-wide “Ignite Creator Conference”. A gift of a day. My group wrote a fantastic song (called “a spark could ignite”), and performed it for the whole assembly all in 4-5 hrs. Go team!

I think I'm going to close down this account. There are so many place to post thoughts as well as music news (it's time consuming) and this platform has the lowest activity of all of them. Especially in the last 6 months or so. Is anyone else experiencing this?

RIP Lloyd❤️ In the summer of 2023 he came to a show I did in Markham Ontario and was such a gentleman when we got to meet for a photo. I've read his "The kind of life it's been" memoir & realized how pivotal he was in shaping Canadian news, with his calm baritone voice. We'll miss him #canada #news
