They’re Not Making Land Anymore
Housing in many parts of Canada have seen prices sky rocket.This leaves many families not able to purchase a home.
There does not seem to be any easy answers. I feel this is one of the major problems in Canada today.
This song has a blues feel and the lyrics are in that vain.
But not the traditional blues chords.
I think we all have times in our life, when we feel we need to live it up, cause we only live once.
The rhythm changes in this song, from a slow tempo in the verse, to a fast latin rhythm in the chorus.
This song was inspired by Barrack Obama, who was a terrific public speaker, giving many great speeches. The chord progression in this song uses a few b5 chords, and it has a nice melodic riff intro.
Put Just a Little, Skin In The Game
This song about taking Risks. I was not taught about Risks in school, and had to learn about them on my own. You need to take some Risk, but not a Big Risk. Put just a little skin in the game.
Check out the sliding G7 chord after the solo at 1:50 minutes.
a grief song about the death of a child
I wrote this song a handful of years ago, in memory of our son, Nathan.
I think we all are looking for a peaceful place.
I like the rhythm I used on this song.
I wrote this four years ago, when we made our last move.
Moving your residence ranks high as a major stressor in life. The song talks about the feelings during this time.
A song about contributing in society.
Created a nice 16th note intro riff for this song.
