The Lunenburg Shift

Tears Like Rain

Boots & Saddles

New take on an old song about Ontario farmers angry at foreclosure practices.

Break The Law

I originally recorded this song on my first album in 1974. Part of my "pseudo-celtic" romantic period which I seem to be returning to in my dotage. Glad to be able to record it again.

Lord Douglas

Tin foil Hat Alert! This song, first recorded in 1990 by Doug McArthur & Garnet Rogers, has been a favourite of the surprisingly large "FILK" movement in the US - revered at conventions and recorded many times by adherents. "FILK" is science fiction folk music.

Merlin

This is my simple (hopefully effective)version of a grand old Irish ghost ballad. Those with a taste for authentic Mixolydian mode can look up Sinéad O'Connor's version on YouTube.

She Moves Through The Fair

This old song of mine has likely been covered by more artists in than any other tune, The most successful was Garnet Roger's version on his first album. It is a slow burner but I still get lost in it.
