The Story behind the Song: Valentines was sure in the air back in 2010 when I first composed this tune 'Sunny Day Blues'. Just a simple melody and a couple of verses commemorating those old Hollywood musicals with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Ahh, those were the days. ♥️![]()

The Story Behind the Song: It's about time I introduce the fabulous musicians behind me on this swing tune 'Table For One'. A romantic tale of 'separation by distance' from a loved one. Players with 'me' on vocals & electric guitar are Gord Maxwell (bg vocals) Rene Worst (acoustic bass) Chris Nordquist (drums) Graeme Coleman (piano) Drew Jureka (violin) & Andreas Schuld (electric & acoustic guitars). This is from my most recent album 'Waltz of the Blues'. 🌹 Painting by: Roman Fedosenko ![]()

The Story Behind the Song: When I was a youngster, my father had hung a 'Ship on a Stormy Sea' painting on the wall down in our basement. He came over from Europe as a teenager on such a ship. I often found him staring at this work of art, reminding himself of the life lessons he experienced during that time of his life. I would sometimes put myself right there on the high seas with him just to feel the wind in my face and the fear of the unknown. 🌹![]()

The Story Behind the Song: I've always been fascinated with the old steam boats travelling up and down the mighty Mississippi. By 1830, there were twelve hundred of them moving bales of cotton, rice, timber , tobacco and molasses up and down the river. As cities passed ordinances against gaming houses in town, gambling moved to the unregulated waters of these steam ships. Showboats became popular at the turn of the century. Floating barges, pushed by tugboats, featured plays with added music and dance at stops along the waterways. Jazzman Louis Armstrong even played on these Mississippi steamers. So here's to all the captains out there. My song, my ticket, my relentless inquiry to work on your boat! 🌹![]()
