Une Neige A Fondu

Written in Bathurst on a stormy spring eveving.

Une neige a tombé,
Les chemin vont l’oublier.
Cette neige a fondu,
Maintenant nous n’en parlons plus.
Ca fait longtemps qu’on s’est pas vu,
Qu’on s’est parlé encore plus…

Don’t Be Sad

Written in 1986, the rich second chord sets the stage for the rest of the song.

Played slowly this song would be very sad so I play it fast.

Les Gens

Written a long time ago, this piece mixes minors and chromatic scales to get a unique texture.

Ava Nagila Blues

Playing with a delay pedal. 1986 recording.  Totally forget what I am playing and move into a blues.

Guitar Impro 1986

Captured in 1986 because a tape recorder was playing.  I just let loose and work up a sweat on the guitar.  When no one is listening musicians give their best performances.

So nice to hear this 25 years later.  Just had to share.

Nice Classical Piece

I believe this one is by Tarrega..

Recorded in 1986. Still is one of my favorite pieces.

Rust on Her Ring

Another 1986 recording. Very expressive piece with beautiful phrases from which I could make a song.

Flight of the Swallow

Recorded in 1986. Just found this one.  Lots of movement. Was still in my twenties when I improvised this piece.

Mother Nature

Written at the age of 15. Decided to record it not to loose the idea. 

I have written hundreds of songs that never were recorded. Most of them are now lost forever.  Still have many on old tapes and hope to one day redo them and post them.
