Folklore preview

Sun, 23 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Hello dear friends.......I have posted a sneak preview of one of the songs from my upcoming release, entitled Folklore. One of the new songs is called "Tom Thomson's Mandolin" I hope you like it!!! Click on 'listen' and let me know what you think.

archival song

Thu, 06 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Hi folks,

I was just sent a song from 1992 or so, that I have never recorded on a album. It's a song called 'Dog Days of Summer', and this was from the Winter Roots Festival in Vancouver, hosted by Steve Edge of the Rogue Folk Club. That's Stephen Fearing inducing me and joining me on acoustic guitar. Go to 'Listen' to, listen. I'm hoping that this will tide you over until I post some new songs from my upcoming album, Folklore. I'm back in the studio with Joby next week and then it's mix time! So far Joby, Marc Atkinson, Rick May, Daniel Lapp and Scott Sheerin are blessing this record with their talents.....I'm a lucky duck.

If you would like to be one of the first people to be informed of the release, drop me an email. As well, I am releasing a limited pressing of my artbook, also entitled Folklore, that will contain a digital download card of the entire album and full colour plates of some of my artwork.If this interests you, let me know. I'm only pressing 350 in the first run.

very excited about this one..............more soon!

halfway through pruning trees

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

We've almost sewn up January...still a few more trees to prune. The snowdrops are up and I have started my onion seeds in flats. Two days ago, I was in the recording studio with Joby, laying down "The Rain Song", a tune that I wrote over 30 years ago, but never released. Now it's time. I had so much fun......you can't believe how talented Joby Baker is.....a wonderful human being, to boot. My dear friend Rick May came up to have supper with us, and then Scott Sheerin dropped by to lay down some soulful soprano saxophone. It all feels right....... Sold a painting, too! The stars must be aligned in my favour......I am blessed. I am working on some tour dates for the summer.(see calendar) Give what you can to those less fortunate. Thanks for checking in with me!

A New Year....

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Greetings to you dear people and may 2010 bring you good health, good governance and great music. It is New Year's Eve as I write this entry and I have been reflecting all day on the state of the planet and those I love. I have been painting, but also recording a few new songs with my lovely and talented friend, Joby Baker. I really don't know what form these recordings will take; a new CD or ?? I am also lining up some solo concerts for 2010 and I will be posting that info in the spring, after I finish pruning the apple trees. Please be kind to the animals, plant a tree, and grow a garden.....oh! and drop me a line when the spirit moves you.

Time to plant the potatoes

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Weird weather....but my peas are up in spite of it all! I planted 1200, mostly shelling peas, a month ago. They are a variety called Green Arrow, a heritage pea and very delicious. Last week,I got to hang out with Joby Baker and we are now brewing an idea to do some writing together. He was over here to play bass with Lester and my new favourite drummer, Billy Hicks. Great fun was had by all. I have an art show coming up next month, so I better get to it and finish the piece I am working on, before the weather gets nice and I won't be able to keep myself in the house!.....keep the faith through days like these.......

February...

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0800

It is February, the month of my birth, and there are brave snowdrops stretching to meet the sun. They are not aware of the concerns of humankind. It's as if everything is accelerating and snowballing. You can either get caught up in it, watch it from the side or try hard to focus on something else.I am doing the latter, and in this case , the ladder as I have been pruning the old orchard again.I am painting, I am playing my guitar, I am planning. I am not watching television.I am signing petitions. I am praying in my own way.
I have been helping my husband launch his new cd, 'The Same Light'. It is a wonderful collection of originals in the roots/jazz/folk vein. Pete Seeger and I have the wonderful distinction of each having a song covered by Lester on this recording. Check it out on cdbaby.......http://cdbaby.com/cd/quitzau4
Take good care of each other.....
