“Coming Home” is now available on iTunes. The theme to this record is all about roots, family and friends who come along for the ride with you. The people and things that move you and get you through. I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have written 10 original songs for “Coming Home”. The title track “Coming Home” is a song I wrote in order to pay tribute to folks like Denis St. Michael, Ron McMunn, Ralph Carlson and the like for giving a young singer\/songwriter the time of day when they really didn\u2019t have to. Here’s the video for the title track “Coming Home”. Please share. Keep Rockin’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been busy going through a bunch of old songs I’ve written over the years to determine if they are worthy of recording or if they need some more work before recording. I’ve also been writing new material and want to record it as well. Seeing as I have this new 24 track studio (Tascam DP-24) at home, it’s time to bare down and record some new material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have contacted a couple of old band mates about recording some new original tracks and they are pumped about working together again. John Dillabough has layed down some lead guitar, lap steel, mandolin and banjo tracks at the end of Feb & early March 2013. John has many years experience playing live and recording with Randall Prescott, Jukebox, Hickory Wind among others. Rod Delcourt will be laying down some bass tracks and a couple of harmony tracks. Rod has been playing bass for years with Ottawa valley bands such as Hickory Wind, Arlene Quinn and has released a CD with his buddy Wendell Wilson. The duo is called DelcourtWilson<\/a> and the CD is called “Long Time Coming”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recorded\n the record at Sound Of One Hand studios in Ottawa’s east end. I worked \nday and night on the project in order to get everything in place to \nprepare to record the new record. All the staff at S.O.O.H were just \ngreat people to work with from John Dooher who just made the process so \neasy and enjoyable. Ross Murray at the console with his inspirational \nrockin’ to the tracks, Marty Jones who’s final mix was exactly what I \nwas shooting for, a country\/rock record with a little edge. I’d like to \nthank all the musicians on the record once again, it was a pleasure \nworking with you all. Many thanks go out to All Bragg who co-produced \nthe record. His experience at the board, as a musician and his ear were a\n God send. Al also brought in some great guests such as Steve Piticco, \none of the worlds great guitar pickers and Suzie Vinnick’s harmony \ntracks are as sweet as sweet can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met up with Ralph Carlson<\/a> at his home on more than one occasion to shoot the shit on music, recording and sitting around jamming to some old tunes. I’ve known Ralph Carlson since the late 1970’s when I was just a teenager who looked old enough to get into the clubs to participate in the Open Mic nights in and around the Ottawa Valley. Ralph always let me get up and do my thing, whether I was drumming and or singing and playing guitar. Ralph was another one of the good guys who supported up and coming talent. Ralph was a good friend and mentor. Some of the stories he told me about playing with Buck Owens and the like on the same bill gave me goose bumps and I truly believe he was beside himself as well. He could sure play that Martin guitar of his. Ralph lent me his beautiful Gibson J-200 for the recording of \u201cWalk That Walk\u201d, it’s used on “Not Gonna Take It Anymore”. Ralph had such a collection of great gear. I’m sure Elaine (his wife) would cringe every time he came home with a new toy to use. Ralph passed away in the Fall of 2002 from Leukemia. Ralph will surely be missed. Thank you Ralph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stopped by to see Terry Carisse<\/a> in the Fall of 2000 at Terry’s request. Terry was interested in publishing some of my songs including \u201cBartender\u201d which he was very excited about. Terry & I hung out now and then for the next 5 years going over the business of writing and what not to do. Terry Carisse was one of Canadian country music’s most awarded – decorated and popular singer-songwriters. Terry passed away in the Spring of 2005. Terry will surely be missed. Thank you Terry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
