Rant & Dawdle A Collection of Writing, Photography & Music

These two posts are personal events
taking place in this time of the COVID-19 Pandemic

My Ornette Coleman video [Harmolodic Spirits] is a celebration of a fifty-year relationship with my companion Sheila. We met on this night [December 7, 1970] at the Town Tavern in Toronto. The photographs are from the one roll of film I shot on that night. My guitar version of “Lonely Woman” was recorded on December 24th, 2020.

The link to some of my radio shows has been made possible by CHFR-FM – Hornby Island Radio posting them as Podcasts. Each show is one hour in length. They are a tad slow in opening, but worth the wait.

These broadcasts are intended to bring comfort and pleasure in these culturally restricted times. Please enjoy and pass them along to a friend who may enjoy this music. The Podcast is updated regularly…
