I can't remember when I started writing/recording my thoughts and experiences. It seems I have always done so. The first band I was in was grade 7. High School band probably inspired it. We were just a bunch of young kids trying to be cool, fit in and get some recognition.
I hope there is something in the musical ideas and thoughts I pen, that reminds you of an experience or emotion you have had, or stirs desire for something more. "I still haven't found what I've been looking for" - U2. The "DEEP MAGIC" of Narnia.

Past Performances
I have performed on TV, toured Canadian schools with Power and Light Co. and have been in various bands. I was the leader of the gospel power rock trio "Freeway" in the early 70's and toured the northwest coast of Canada and the US. Later, with drummer Bruce Wright and Mike Johnston in the Mike Johnston Band, I played in Denver at the Road Home Festival with Mason Proffet and various other artists. There were around 5000+ patrons at that festival. After that I played and led the Band StraitStreet. In 1982 I headed south again, to play in another Power Trio "Touch" in the Portland area, where much original material was written and performed.After that I toured Western Canada as a single performer and in Duo and Trio Club Bands.
