I literally slept 13 hours Friday night and then proceeded to sit on an Adirondack Chair for another 12 the very next day! It was the height of laziness…followed by what was definitely a busy couple of weeks. It’s possible Continue reading Work hard…relax harder! Finding my balance…
“One day, you’ll appreciate the time to yourself,” my divorce lawyer exclaimed. I thought she was out of her mind! Her words…they’d stay with me as I’d stand in the window every second weekend. After happy kisses and good-bye hugs…I’d Continue reading Time to myself…

Thirty three years away…yet Newfoundland is home. At the age of ten, we moved to Halifax but returned every summer to spend time with family. Forty-odd first cousins. Multiple Aunts and Uncles. My beautiful grandparents and a gaggle of friends, Continue reading Billy Hickey…his music…home…
It hits you immediately on walking through the doors. The warmth. The Lower Deck has arrived in Clayton Park with all the charm of the one downtown! I’m not sure how they did it… how they instilled a sense of Continue reading The Lower Deck…
It’s not easy getting in the head of a musician! Maybe it’s the fact that I’m creative as well. Between writing and designing, I’m constantly putting things “out there” and much like a musician… understand the rejection. It’s tough to Continue reading Paul Lamb Live…
I was ten when we moved to Halifax, from St. John’s Newfoundland. It was a culture shock of new experiences where kids didn’t go to religion-based schools, jeans were worn instead of uniforms and my unique accent and use of Continue reading Ron Hynes Tribute…
