Progressive in politics, bonded to music, wrote ad copy to pay the bills. Greatest accomplishment is my two adult children: a girl who is an intense wonder and a boy with severe mental and physical issues. They've both shaped me into the man I am today.

I'm playing music by Canadian artists today while keeping the TV off. There's so much to choose from:
Neil Young
Joni Mitchell
Leonard Cohen
Guess Who
Gordon Lightfoot
The Band
The Tragically Hip
Maybe I'll throw in some Rush, Sarah McLaughlan, Alanis Morisette and Barenaked Ladies.
