The Vault

Welcome to a new section of my website.  This section is reserved for old videos and recordings that you may not have had a chance to see or hear.  I will add new material every now and then.

At Home Performances

These videos weree done at my home during the Covid-19 pandemic.  With the whole world self-isolating, I found myself with quite of bit of time on my hands.  With no performances happening I got myself inspired to record some performances and share it with anyone out there checking out this page.  Hope you enjoy.!

RIP - Ilse Themen

Singer-Songwriter Ilse Themen lost her battle with cancer.  I've had the honor of sharing the stage with her over the years in various incarnations of her bands such as ITB and Tamin' Thunder.  She will be missed.

Joyslam Reunion

Here is a video compilation clip from the June 30, 2017 gig with RJ Martine & Joyslam.  Played with this group for quite a few years around the Greater Toronto Area.

"Proud To Be Canadian" - Studio Session

Back around the year 2000 (I am guessing here), I was living in Barrie, Ontario and had a house gig at a bar known as the Jazz Cafe and Lounge.  This particular house gig was an open mic and we had lots of good players coming out.  One particular evening this guy named Daniel (never got a last name) came out and jammed a few songs with the band.  Later during the evening he hired me for a recording session for this song.

When I got to the studio the beds were being done.  Daniel along with vocals played acoustic guitar and harmonica.  Bass by Steve Eyers.  Harmony vocal and more acoustics by Steve McEown.  These two guys had a country duo in town called Even Steven and one of them was the producer.  Drums were done by Lucianno (Luch) Ingrassia, a good guy who I hadn't played with in a while and myself on electric guitar.

After the session the CD was handed to me, it was the last I heard from them.  Hope that maybe getting this track out there will help me in getting in touch with some of them.  Enjoy the track.
