thanks indiecan!

i had such a nice surprise last week. i was googling my name...
i know, i know... me me me me me.
actually i was searching my name to try to find a review of one of my previous releases that i remember coming across some time ago (does that justify it enough?).

anyway, my name came up on the indiecan.com site, so i went to check out why, and was ever so pleasantly surprised to find out that Joe, head honcho and the vision behind indiecan, had played one of my christmas songs on his show and had dedicated it to a friend of his and her newborn baby. The song was "coventry carol" (with a bit of "bring a torch jeannette isabella" mixed in) and, of course, is a christmas carol, but i was, again, pleasantly surprised at how beautifully the words of the song spoke to a new mother and her baby!

you can check out the whole episode here: episode 116
where you'll discover some great music, including a really
sweet song by rae spoon.

so a big thank you to Joe, who really is a huge supporter of
canadian independent music!!

my new favourite song

ok, so i've been listening rather obsessively to what i must only logically conclude is...my new favourite song. it's called "mutual admiration society" and it was passed on to me by my friend karen, an excellent editor and wonderful poet by the way, at a moment when we were mutually admiring each other's work.

so hold to your hats! it's a gooder!
i'll wait while you bask in it's glory...
