Neil Young’s album Harvest is pretty great. Since it turned 50 earlier this year, I thought it’d be fun to organize a live performance of the album and other Young songs with a house band and guest singers to raise money for The Bruce Trail Conservancy. Come out on the weekend: Saturday October 22 at The Westdale in Hamilton. Details and tickets via eventbrite.ca.

We Can Do Better

all those shoes
still as stones
stolen lives
names unknown
we can do better

someone’s aunt
sister or friend
always loved
never seen again
we can do better
we can do better

we gotta do better than what we’ve done
if this land is everyone’s
if we’re honest and come clean
we gotta be be better than who we’ve been
well I’m sorry for who we’ve been

all those shoes
can’t come home
but can they change
the way we’re going?
if we go together
if we go together
we can do better

Heartfelt thanks to all our veterans.

Here’s the song “Remembrance Day”, recorded with the choir at my daughter’s school.

Slaving away on the farm.

Plans for a new record have been pushed back a bit, but it’ll be worth the wait. Like hugging.

New year, new songs, new plans for a new record. New news is good news.

A while back, I saw two young people in a gravel parking lot at a crossroads deep in rural Ontario. Other than their cars, the lot was empty. They were locked in an embrace as I drove by in a farm truck, and they hadn’t budged 30 minutes later when I was headed home.

Those people stuck with me.
