I wrote this song for a play that I was directing and acting in. The play, Home Ice, is a brilliant original play written by Craig Brunanski, and which was staged in Vancouver, BC in September of 2004. The song was recorded and played as the production opened on Act 1, (in order to "set the mood").

They say you shouldn't die with your music still inside you. I realize I won't live forever so I had better get started sharing and to stop worrying about making the perfect recording. This is rough and raw, but as my recording skills improve, I can hopefully replace the rougher original versions. Patience, friends.

This was the first song I ever wrote. I based it on a character I met often during those first years. His name was Victor and he claimed to be third generation Vancouverite. His father was a sailing captain who stayed when he saw how pretty Vancouver was. Victor was a regular sight along Denman until I moved away. When I moved back, I never saw him again.
