The Stranger #MusicMonday #SecretPath
Last week on June 30th, I spent the day listening to Indigenous people tell their stories. In recognition of National Indigenous History Month, more than 500 radio stations broadcasted A Day to Listen, dedicated to stories shared by Indigenous leaders, residential school survivors, elders, musicians, and teachers. The next day (Canada Day), a friend and...Continue reading The Stranger #MusicMonday #SecretPath →

Don’t Dream it’s Over #MusicMonday
When I sit in my backyard and stare up at the sky as I did tonight (Sunday), I see two towering TV antennae in neighbouring homes. They stand about forty feet tall and are obsolete as far as I know. They don’t deliver a signal for cable reception anymore, but they still exist because the...Continue reading Don’t Dream it’s Over #MusicMonday →

Take Me Where Your Heart Is by Q #MusicMonday
Q Steven Marsden is a multi-instrumentalist from South Florida, the son of Jamaican immigrants who are also musicians. Q isn’t a nickname or short for something else. That’s just his name. His dad named him the letter Q because he thought his son was destined for good things. I think he was right. They co-wrote...Continue reading Take Me Where Your Heart Is by Q #MusicMonday →

Tu, Io E Domani #MusicMonday #jazz
Summer is fast approaching, and the weather has been beautiful of late. We are now eating outdoors — such a pleasure after so many months of lockdown. Music always plays a part in our meals, and lately, dinner music has been curated by different Apple Music playlists. I’m a fan of hard rock, but not...Continue reading Tu, Io E Domani #MusicMonday #jazz →

Just the Two of Us #MusicMonday
Grover Washington Jr. is one of my favourite sax players. I heard this song this past weekend, and it reminded me of how long it’s been since I last listened to Grover Washington Jr. His “Winelight” album played on my turnable continuously for many years. It was so wonderful to catch up with him and...Continue reading Just the Two of Us #MusicMonday →

Counting Stars #MusicMonday
Over the past week, I binge-watched four seasons of a French Netflix series called “10 Pour Cent.” Its English title is “Call My Agent.” I absolutely loved it. Billed as a comedy-drama, the series follows the lives of four talent agents and the celebrities they represent. The writing is fast-paced and original, and because it’s...Continue reading Counting Stars #MusicMonday →

Take it Easy #MusicMonday
I’m on a road trip along Route 66 with Paulie from The Life in My Years. He didn’t invite me, but I’m tagging along anyway. 😀 Last week, Paul left his home in California with his wife, Cora and their dog, Lexi. Recently, he was standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. If that line...Continue reading Take it Easy #MusicMonday →

Splendid Reintegration via @AuthorsElectric
This is my final post for Authors Electric. I started writing for this collective January 2020, and time has flown by. I’ve enjoyed being part of the group, but it’s time to move on and concentrate on my own fiction. Given that Canada seems to be turning the corner with the pandemic, I thought to...Continue reading Splendid Reintegration via @AuthorsElectric →

Twist in My Sobriety #MusicMonday
I remember loving this song when I first heard it in the eighties. “Twist in My Sobriety” written by Tanita Tikaram was different than any of the music I listened to at the time (mainly Brit pop and rock). The song’s wordiness and Tikaram’s deep, soulful voice immediately captured my attention. Later, I learned the...Continue reading Twist in My Sobriety #MusicMonday →
