Bob Seger - Turn the Page



One of my favourite concerts was back in the days I lived near Windsor and we crossed the river to
this man's show....it remains still one of the best Rock'n'Roll nights I've ever been witness to!

Leonard Cohen: The Stranger Song




What a killing, chilling opening stanza

"It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
who said they were through with dealing
Every time you gave them shelter.."

...Saint Leo --- vintage Leonard Cohen!
Helps me see the world through the appropriate colour of glasses!

LE LAC MAJEUR MORT SHUMAN



Even if your knowledge of French is limited, rather like mine, this is a mighty fine song. It is one that conjures up images of being on the shores of Le Lac Majeur or as my Swiss Darlin' Nicci knows it Lago Maggiore!

Willie Nelson and Shelby Lynne, Angel flying too close



Oh how much I love this song, how I've wished that Shelby Lynne would get more recognition, I think Willie Nelson is a National Treasure....and folks forget what a flat out good picker he is.....so here in this one song are all my reasons why I love this form of music and why live music is just the greatest!

oooooh...Skipper where...

Billy Bragg: Ontario, Quebec & Me



I am always rather put off Billy's stuff especially when he manges to mangle his own tunes....but then every once in awhile I find a little gem

Jacques Brel - Quand on a que l'amour



I defy you not to get goosebumps over this one..if you don't you're from Remulac!
