September 6, 2007
My song "The Briss" has won a grand Prize in The John Lennon songwriting Competetition in the World category.
This is for session 1 . Come March 2008, I will need your votes as I go head to head with session 2's winner in an internet vote. The stakes will be high as I could get an EMI publishing deal out of it.
I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime. download it.
It can be heard on iTunes.

End Of Jan 2006

January 20, 2006
Getting ready to cross back over the ponds, as it were, as my 3 months in Dubai come to a close.
Gonna miss the warmth and the mid-eastern hospitality. Made lots of great friends, played a ton of piano; there's nothing like a six night a week gig for 3 months to get your chops in shape.
Its goona be hard to wash my own clothes, cook my own food and clean up after myself after this 5 star treatment...but sleeping in my own bed will be welcome.
I wrote alot of music and I'm looking forward to sifting through it in order to massage it into a new CD.
Can't wait to get to my shack in vermont set up my baby grand and a small studio set-up and go to it.
So much work to do.........

I'm in Dubai right now, playing piano at the Grand Hyatt Dubai. A nice break from winter in Montreal. I'll be back in Montreal at the beginning of February.
I'll be working at booking a summer tour to support "Play A Little Prayer"
