After the Fall
10/02/26 12:29
After the Fall is the first 14 songs released from Project 2026 started its journey in the summer of 2025. By October I had 28 songs written and temporarily arranged and recorded on my iPhone. I started production in mid-October. By the end of December I had the album ready for release (January 07 - 2026) complete with accompanying videos on my YouTube Channel. I have been listening/watching this album since its release and I am satisfied and completely convinced that it is my best work yet in my storied 54-year writing career. And, no worries, I am more than comfortable with that 'subjective' assessment. My joy at times is overwhelming while at times I am saddened by the fact that my 'reach' in the industry is almost non-existent. I write for myself, why, is explained in my book. My songs have always required curation, some world class attention and intervention. I know that. Everything you hear and see is the result of my effort, 100% my creation. I'll never stop trying to extend my reach with the thoughts of having some of my material covered by a signed artist that can get it heard on a global scale.
The Dash Between

Can't say that after the release of End Song - July 11th, 2023 - that I would've put in the work to produce another two albums containing 32 new songs. It continues to be a labour of love as it always has been est. 1972. The Dash Between had a very emotional start to its write, with the passing of good friend and long time same old face - Eric Green. Eric included our relationship in his self-authored eulogy that included a profound and impactful message that stated; "no one will be remembered for the two dates on their headstone, the start and finish, rather, they will be remembered for their life lived in the - between. That brought me to tears. I wrote a song, recorded it on my iPhone in skeletal form, put it on my YouTube, and it was played at the spreading of his ashes ceremony at sea. I was honoured to have been a part of his celebration of, the living of life in the dash between.

Happy to report my website is up to date and now has accessibility to my YouTube Channel that boasts 95 videos. Today I linked my new album A Walk to A Run and 15 accompanying videos, after uploading all 15 videos yesterday. Nice response thus far without any promotion to speak of.
I spent more time on this video package than any before and I have to admit that the video support for the album's songs effectively serves to enhance the viewers listen of the song. I'm a very very happy creator at all levels of 'this thing I do'.

A Walk to A Run

With End Song promoted as my last album, let's call A Walk to A Run; one more last album… 15 new songs accompanied by 15 YouTube videos. I plan on releasing this project on YouTube in the Spring of 2024. I may give the audio one more shot at online sales. I'll see about that… This production has resulted in another level of arrangement and performance, with much more emphasis on guitar than in previous productions. I'm very very proud of this product.
End Song

The last five years of my life, including the Covid era, have been the best years of my life, especially at the creative level. In five years, I wrote, performed and produced five albums that contained 72 new songs and 1 - We Are All Poets - from 1977. I now have 79 original song videos on YouTube that I am over the moon with. I had a really nice visit with Nik and Lisa at the end of July in Saint Sauveur, Quebec. I hadn't seen either of them in 30 years and it was like it was just last week. My last gig in February for the Caledonia SOF was awesome and if it's my final live performance, I'm okay with that. My book gained SOLD OUT status in February and I couldn't be more pleased with the reader reviews that it received. I'm contemplating publishing digitally. End Song is now completely registered, there are only ten owners who qualified to own this product and 9 out of 10 are in receipt of. It's the most introspective album I have ever written. As always the 17 songs on there all have their own identity and once again, I couldn't be more pleased with the results. So so content. C'ya down "the road" perhaps…
