Grow Some Food
At a Rotary club a few years ago, a member went on an international trip ( I think it was to the Phillipines ), where they were working at an orphanage. The kids were taught to grow food in anything they could, even a plastic water bottle.
That idea stuck with me, and I decided to write a song about it, when we planted our own garden. See the video here.
All is Right With The World – “The Happy Song”
All is Right With The World, is an original song I wrote to recognize the rare times in my life, when I felt very happy, and at one with the world.
The Natural Order of Things
Richard plays ukulele and is a singer songwriter, from BC Canada.
He and his wife have been married for 45+ years and had a son and a daughter. In 1991, at age 15 their son Nathan died from a short term illness.
The Natural Order of Things is a about how un-natural it is to bury your child, and how the natural order of life has been broken.
The grief that follows the death of a child is one of the largest stressors that a family can live through. Following the death of their son, Richard and his wife attended a grief support group for bereaved parents called The Compassionate Friends (TCF). The group can be found in many countries of the world.
