I'm pleased to be teaching the Hillside Festival's annual 'Girls and Guitars Songwriting Course' for it's fifth year running!  The course begins on Wednesday, January 8th at 6pm at Hillside House, Guelph.   This course is currently sold out. 

This year marks the centenary of the First World War Armistice.  This song is released to mark this occasion, and to remind us of the devastating effects of war on all sides.  It's based on the memories of a child who experienced air raids on her house and hometown in July of 1943 in WW2.  May it remind us to love our neighbours, because nobody wins a war.  

You can listen to the song anywhere you stream your music, or on my website.

Until September 20th, 2018, I'll be donating 100% of proceeds from album sales through my website to the Canadian Red Cross for their BC Wildfire Relief fund.

Both physical and digital albums, as well as posters, purchased through my store will to toward helping.  

See www.redcross.ca for details on how the funds are used.

I've been a fan of FOLK ROOTS RADIO with Jan Hall for a number of years.
