Artist Comments:

I am beside myself with joy to honour the memory of my high school bestie Dan Wayne Dunlop (October 4, 1957 – November 17, 2012), by re-recording, producing and publishing his original song "Young Love".  Dan and I first met in junior high school and became the best of friends in high school.  We were bad, had tons of fun and jammed together often for many years.  Known by many names, Dan, Big Mouth or the Baron of Barrie, he loved the Barrie, Ontario community and its people. He felt at home in Barrie and even recorded a song, an ode to his adopted City of Barrie.  Dan, as an entertainer extraordinaire, was best known for hosting the comedy skit-based TV show "Big Mouth" winning a Rogers Television Award in 2005 as best on-air personality.  Dan, AKA "FastManDan," wrote "Young Love" in the late 1970s. He recorded it on a cassette player using a drum machine, his guitar, and, of course, his vocals. My AI attempt to revive the recording from my cassette copy didn't work out, so I decided to re-record the song. The great thing is I couldn't be more pleased with the results, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  In many ways, Dan was my mentor.  I admired and took inspiration from his independent nature, courage, talent and outstanding determination.  A born comedian and later a cartoonist, singer, songwriter, guitarist, Impressionist, puppeteer, exotic pet handler, film producer, radio talk show host, cameraman and film editor,  Dan was one dynamite entertainer and a hilarious prankster!  Just as important was his good nature and big heart.  Dan truly cared about the well-being of others and was not afraid to show you that side of himself.  Dan influenced and affected many people's lives, and all are grateful to have known this man. I miss him very much and crack a smile whenever I think of the good times we had together.  As much as a man can love a man, I loved Dan – rest in peace, my great friend and brother!  Wow, is it not the coolest thing knowing that your spirit has a voice through this great tune of yours?

The Song: 

 "Young Love", with its catchy pop/dreamy groove, delves into that classic middle-age crisis that fosters a man's conflicting desire for younger women.

Something about the Fun in LA in 2025
warning: this is a work of fiction
the 'pallet of bricks thing' was debunked 5 yrs ago : my unreliable narrator is something of a wiener.  Take that how you will :)
Kind of like the warning at the start of 1955 Richard III with Olivier that he wasn't really a hunchback...etc
  Also the head of that store's probably the greatest cinnamon roll of a human and the gf's kid is a little demon that knocks inventory over...

Lyrics:

Community is mutually exchanged inconveniences
For the promise of magistrates' leniency

My double-major paramour was lading bread with jelly
On a shift at Canter's Deli
While we discussed the latest brigandage
And dropped some gems of knowledge

My devastating heartthrob said
That the greatest software efficiency steal
Is to hire a cheap intern whose whole job
Is to be a hater and keep it real

And stated with a leer
While discussing her change of career

That the difference between making a sandwich
And mooting relativistic magnetohydrodynamics
Is that one of the which carries
Significantly less risk
Of irreversible brain damage

My spiritual talent
Is making people i like angry at me

As we surveyed the city's commotion
She wondered why the populace
Gets into these fights
I said not to be a dick
But hit a beehive with a stick
And you will discover that 
Bees have a robust notion of property rights

When the mood of the NGO's gets really really shitty
They queue up the pallets of bricks randomly sitting round the city

For better or worse
A border is a line between personal investment
And the rest of the Universe

We later hit the Chef's paradise
For restauranting provender
As we were sauntering between the lavender and allspice
The owner's prompting wasn't very nice 
Please do keep your crotch fruit madam away from the merchandise 

The best exaction
We derived from this civic distraction
As we continued our drive
Was being able to say
It's a great beach day west of the 405

Can't Rain All The Time

Eclipse
