Day 6
Over another few mountain tops and we were in Kelowna. Great theatre, the Kelowna Arts Centre. These good venues make it so much easier to relax on stage. Have to say, Raylene and Cindy are singing like angels, and I’m singing like an admirer of Raylene and Cindy. I’m a hanger on for dear life [...]
Day 5
What a great time on Salt Spring. It left us with about four hours sleep to make the early ferry, but we’re holding up. After we dock, there’s a five hour drive to Kelowna. It will be a breeze after the drives from Airdrie to Rossland, Rossland to Salt Spring. But what drives they were. [...]
Oh, and…
Thanks to the really good folks of Airdrie and the Bert Church Theatre for a great night. Good food, great audience, warm, warm welcome. Again, thanks to all.
Deliveries
A great day for waiting by the door. Two deliveries, each long anticipated. Surprising me pleasantly was the delivery of a new travel coffee-maker, followed by the delivery of a quilt my cousin made for me. The coffee maker will save me from bad coffee on the road, and the worst of the bad (my [...]
Family
My family is very much in my mind these days, for various reasons. Perhaps it’s the end of the year – beginning of the year combination of nostalgia and anticipation – memory and hope. A reminding of love and affection. My generation speaks of love carelessly, and we assign the word to a number of [...]
New year, new snow
If I were in the country tonight, I’d walk in the woods. Snow has just stopped falling and, because there is a full moon behind the clouds, it’s more like late dusk than night. But I’m not in the country tonight. I’m in the city and have just come in from shoveling. With my neighbours [...]
A Christmas Star
Oh, there are good memories. Certainly, the year my two-year old sister woke early and tore the wrapping from every gift stands out. My mother remembers it well, too – and all too well. It was the Christmas of the blanket thank-you: we will always treasure whatever it is you gave us. From various Christmases, [...]
in the early morning blog
Three days this week, I have risen with the intention that I would get out, enjoy the weather, meet a friend, Christmas shop – anything to get me away from this house. All three days I have spent in the house, with only one foray to the local postal outlet. I blame this on agoraphobia [...]
Home
Back from London, and not without a little pang of “of only we had another week, or year”. Great time, great city. Except that everyone sneezes into their hands. I did shudder when I witnessed it, and gave the sneezer a wide berth, not wanting to become the sneezee. Friends have suggested that the media [...]

Often described as a "writer's writer", Susan Crowe is one of Canada's most respected singer songwriters in the folk genre. At once complex, challenging and accessible, Susan's intelligent and moving songs have captivated audiences and reviewers from coast to coast, continent to continent. She possesses, in the words of Britain's Folk Roots magazine, "that rare ability of crafting a lyric that bears scrutiny on its own terms." That rare ability has earned her two Juno nominations, and nominations from both the West Coast and East Coast Music Awards.
