    Hwy 14 Blues is a pleading for the hwy to return him his baby. This title came as I live right by the highway and see it everyday. 

   I did hike Hwy 16 back in the 70's, before it became known as the Highway of Tears. 

    It is the only land route to Haida Gwaii fka  Queen Charlotte Islands.  That whole summer experience left quite an impression on me. It took a decade before I was able to make my way back to the coast and reside on Vancouver Island.  All of Canada is so beautiful, only the mild coastal winters are what keeps me here and lends a big hand in crafting these tunes. 

And after recording Hwy 14 Blues at Island Magic Studios, on the radio I heard Change the World.  I am a big Eric Clapton fan and realize that songs' progressional magic were released from my psyche that day.   

100 years old this year.  1923-2023,  Covered by so many artists.  An iconic song whose sentiments have echoed through the decades.   .                             Keeping the Blues alive.    

The days of the week and how life kinda re-cycles as the weeks, months and years go rolling by.  "Hey it's Wednesday, same kind of day as yesterday, same kind of day as everyday".  Of course there is always the exceptions.    

Don't think there's a soul who has not been effected by the fentanyl epidemic in some way or another.  Is there light at the end of the tunnel?     

Why is it always the same, these early morning rains.   another  me myself and i production.  

Fiddle and mandolin on this number give it the bluegrass / country feel.   And folks perk up at the 6/8 feel as they remember it from somewhere.

Thinking it says it all in the title.  Sweet As Sweet Can be.  Sure was a lotta fun makings this video...Another me myself and i productions. Keeping busy through covid.    .  

My first spirit seasonal song  Peace to the World.  Joy to our Hearts. Dec 2021

Another me myself and i production.    There it is.  Just dreaming.  Just like the other night......

Tow the line to the ends of time.
