My songs are a part of who I am, and I can’t remember a time
when I wasn’t writing, either on a scrap of paper, or in my head.
The music finds its way out, through my lyrics, and my guitar… I hope you enjoy!

Don McLeod helped me out coming up with a few key rhymes (“Arkansas” and “America”} and setting the scene properly. “He raises the Stars and Stripes before the rooster crows…” |

| I love East Coast music. This is a song I wrote in a traditional style. I wanted a chorus folks could sing along too and they certainly do. My daughter’s grade 4 class was studying famous/historical sailing ships so I started from listing them – I picked out The Bounty, The Golden Hind, The Victory, The Discovery, The Bluenose, and the Mary Rose… then wrote a song around them. |
