I had a great time hosting and performing at an evening of local, live music in my hometown of Esterhazy on Saturday, Feb 12. I organized a line-up of a few local musicians which was held on stage at the Maple Leaf Theatre. It's hard to believe that the last time I had performed was at an Open Mic in January 2020, as I used to host these on a regular basis. I suppose that would explain why I was so nervous on Saturday! Nervous but also excited to be able to bring people together with live music.

FLOWERS ON THE SUN is my favourite song on my album, A New Day, and was inspired by a note my son wrote when he was four years old, which consisted solely of those four words. I thought it was beautiful and called it his first poem. I saved the note and years later, I crafteded this song about nature, the environment, and how humankind must be proactive in protecting this beautiful planet for many generations to come.
