Summer Songs – an album collection recorded in Hamilton, Ontario in 2012 with myself on acoustic guitar and vocals accompanied by Victor Bateman on bass and featuring Julia Hambleton on clarinet.
Many of the songs refer to stories and experiences from my own life. The songs are about city living (“Toronto Fell In Love With You”), times when I lived and performed in Toronto’s 60’s Yorkville scene (“Is This The Last Time” & “Shendah”) and a few anthems and love songs (“Free The Land” & “I Still Love You”). I’ve also included a new version of one of my first successful songs recorded by A Passing Fancy in 1968 and covered by Madrigal in 1972 (“I Believe In Sunshine”) plus one of my favourites inspired by the Muskoka fall panorama “Red Leaves”.
