Thoughts on the songs:

Renew: this song took 30yrs of living, but, only 20 minutes to write! I was told once, that I loved my guitar and mountains more than I loved them and that they couldn’t compete with that …….. I didn’t know it was a competition!

Reason To Love: No matter how many times we say "never again", we always find another reason to fall. And sometimes we do mistake a "bad" lay for it……. Ah, human!

The Ache: sitting in Toronto a few years back, sharing a cappuccino with Hack, he asked me, "Does the pain ever go away?". I looked over at him and quietly said, "no!", then he played me this song.

The Returning: another Hack tune, sitting in Toronto a few months late in gettin’ home (some things never change), I told Hack to write me a song that would put me back in the good books. He handed me this song, I took it home and sang it to a room of friends, with Amy present. It brought tears to a few eyes, so, I didn’t have the heart to tell them I didn’t write it. I told a year later, was fun to see the looks. Amy just shook her head….. I did promise never to be boring!

None But The Rain: the first time I heard this song, I knew it was the best damn goodbye song I’d ever heard. Like someone once said, " We hate farewells, but, we love farewell songs."

The Highway Kind: A man once told me, "there’s something about moving, not caring where, just goin’, the search itself is where its at."

St. John The Gambler: walking throu’ Silver City (ghost town in the Yukon) you can hear the voices and cries when the moon is full.

A Song For: When Gene Dubois took his life, I knew his pain was finally over. I haven’t forgiven him but I don’t think that bothers him too much, but, he did matter and he did have something to offer.

All Roads Lead To Rome: they do you know! They all lead to roam! Written just after I thought I had thumbed my last time.

Summerlea: In the years of playing the rodeo circuit, I met a few that fit the character of this song. This is for a friend from High River Alberta, who has probably broken more bones than most people I know and who came to sit by me one night and told me of a woman he knew and did I think it was love, cuz he had never felt this way before.
