A Dean Martin classic, done by me and my guitar.

You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You

Love to play this song.  An old AM radio favorite.

Werewolves of London

Sunday morning, pancakes, eggs, bacon, and Willie Nelson.  Perfect.

Always On My Mind

Growing up, the Elvis Christmas album was a staple in our house.  I loved every song, and sang them until it drove my parents crazy.  Now I'm all grown up, and I can record and sing them until it drives my wife crazy.  The best things about Christmas never change.

If Every Day Was Like Christmas

I recorded the vocal for this when I was getting over pneumonia.  The first time I heard this song, Elvis sang it live at the Edmonton Folkfest; from that moment on I was hooked.

Alison (Elvis Costello Cover)

I wrote this song with help from the ghost of Lou Reed. When your love leaves, what do they take with them?  What parts of you are gone forever?    What do you remember, when they're gone?

Sweet Jane

Suzanne

This song is about how the world treats some women.  I recorded it live, with reverb and a chorus box, me and my guitar.


Book Covers

On cloudy days, I want to hide in a dark room, 'til I am myself again or the clouds go away.

Til I Am Myself Again

Growing up in Canada in the 1970's I'm not sure which song was more ubiquitous on the radio, the Farmer's Song, or Terry Jack's Seasons in the Sun.  This song has been in my head for months, so I finally decided to record it.

Farmer's Song

Calgarian's have an indomitable spirit.  I'm sure they won't back down.  #YYC
