Hard to believe that, up until now, Raylene Rankin recordings were not available online anywhere. But that’s changed. You can now download ”All the Diamonds” from iTunes and CD Baby. You can still get them from me, from my music store, in hard copy, but for you folks who like to go directly to portable [...]
Here’s the great thing about John Reischman and The Jaybirds: they’re coming to Halifax on March 27th and playing at the Carleton. Truth be told, there are many great things about John and his band, but for me it’s especially good to know he’s coming to town. John and I go back to my first [...]
Sorry for the late post, sorry for the brevity, sorry for the pared down writing. I’m in the Halifax airport on my way to Rome, wondering how the last days of our tour slipped by so quickly. After Virden, we forged on to Pinawa, and then to Manitou. in Pinawa, we stayed in the comfortable, [...]

Sunday took us to Medicine Hat for a show at the Medalta Clayworks Museum. More on that later. For now, let me tell [...]

Best part was seeing someone’s companion dog sitting right in front of the first row…right in front of us, really. Nice dog…nice people. Oh, and James Logan, our [...]
Off we go. Olds, Edmonton, Bow Valley, Medicine Hat, Forget, Virden, Manitou…back in about ten days. Good news that Raylene’s new CD will be going with us. See ya.
Somehow, I managed to turn off the automatic forwarding system of Facebook. I didn’t intend to do this, but it’s happened. In order to make any changes, pick up messages (with the recent exception of the talented Jill Barber, whose messages find their way to my real email – this is a mystery) or hear [...]
I did an afternoon “afternoon with” for the Writer’s Federation last summer. I was invited by a young Toronto (by way of Nova Scotia) songwriter, Alex Hickey. Lovely gal, and she can really play, sing and whistle. It went well, and we’ve been invited to do more of a concert type performance, so here is [...]
