Hey, Folks.
So here’s the thing: One day last spring the Green Party asked me to run in the federal election. I know, I know. I should have told you sooner. My son Patrick and I were playing a lot of summer shows and I was quietly getting used to the idea. In September I am usually digging my blue potatoes, making pickles and recovering from the summer.

The latter effectively showcases the creativity and imagination of both […]

We are in concert with them January 30 and 31 at the stunning Alix Goolden Performance Hall. We are thrilled!!! Patrick was asking me what it is like to solo with a gigantic choir or a symphony. I said it was like being strapped to the front of a train. Can’t wait. We also have a […]
