Écrite pour le 15 Aout 2011. Written for Acadian Day 2011.
Trying to be true to my roots.
Je laisse pousser mes racines quand je joue.
I have written a few books.
One of my passions is training the mind and over the years I have developped a unique expertise in the field of memory skills training.
So far the books are:
Memory for Students
Memory for Parents
Memory for Numbers

Just recorded a new version of the beautiful irish instrumental Rights of Man.
Really like this one.
I wanted to create a Celtic sounding song on which we could dance the beautiful Cajun Jig.
The Cajun Jig has a lot of arm moves but the music usually is a bit harsh. The following video shows the fancy arm moves associated to the Cajun Jig.

Hopefully I can make a video of people dancing the Cajun Jig to my song. Its the only dance I know…lol
This piece brings you inside the man’s brain.
Tried to project my mental activity into the guitar to create a musical picture of my brain… I do get carried away sometimes..lol
Hope you enjoy the piece.
Fanny Power is one of my favorite Irish pieces. Must be 200 years old. Was written for the harp.
Actually is a love song.
Just blows me away that people could write stuff like this hundreds of years ago.
A french song. Chanson française.
Just added this song to my repertoire.
Also now have a Musician’s page on Facebook.

Another piece I learned when I first bought my guitar.
Hadn’t played this one in a long time. Was one of the first pieces I had learned on this guitar.
Got this piece from a book. Its a lovely piece.
