Live &
Sociable

The amazing thing to me is that I still love to
sing and perform now as much as I did when
I was in high school. I still get wound every
Friday and Saturday night. I still love to sit and
practice
for far more hours than I should every week and I
still love to play songs I knew in 1972 as much as
I get into learning new cover tunes.
Music is my own personal therapeutic capsule. I
can't begin to tell you what a charge I get out of
being able to get up in front of people and
perform. It is truly one of my most favourite
things to do.
I've been playing in bars since early June of 1975.
In the years from the end of university (1980) thru
the early part of my Chiropractic practice
(1985-89), I played some 150-200 shows a year.
There were years in there when I played to packed
houses of 500+ people at places like Brock
University (1977 thru 1998) and Richard's (1988/89).
It was amazing!
Now, the people I play to don't get out as much as
they used to (we are all getting "more seasoned"),
but when they do, it's still just as much fun as
ever. Places like
Mulligan's
(1983 to present day),
Jersey's
(2002-to now) and
Barracuda's
(2001 until now) still get wound up crowds in them
on regular basis.
The enjoyment of playing these places never stops.
If you seen me perform before, thank you for
spending your precious time with me. If you haven't
made it yet, I would love the chance to try and make
your day a little more "sociable"!
Hope to see you soon!
