JUNO Jazz Soloist of the Year Winners

Bobcaygeon

I left your house this morning
'Bout a quarter after nine
Coulda been the Willie Nelson
Coulda been the wine

When I left your house this morning,
It was a little after nine
It was in Bobcaygeon, I saw the constellations
Reveal themselves, one star at time

Drove back to town this morning
With working on my mind
I thought of maybe quittin'
Thought of leavin' it behind

Went back to bed this morning
And as I'm pullin' down the blind
Yeah, the sky was dull and hypothetical
And fallin' one cloud at a time

That night in Toronto
With its checkerboard floors
Riding on horseback
And keeping order restored
'Til The Men They Couldn't Hang
Stepped to the mic and sang
And their voices rang with that Aryan twang

I got to your house this morning
Just a little after nine
In the middle of that riot
Couldn't get you off my mind

So, I'm at your house this morning
Just a little after nine
'Cause, it was in Bobcaygeon
Where I saw the constellations reveal themselves
One star at time

Here's Me Playing Drums

The Chicken was always one of my favourite groovy tunes to play. I chose it for my graduation recital at Mohawk College way back in the dark ages (1984), and the tune is just as good today.

Kitchen Renovation Complete Except For Tiles

You may joke when I tell you I built a "Cereal Cupboard" but it's actually true. This is how I envisioned it, with room for the broom in front.

The sink area is now lots brighter and more open because the window is bigger and there is now upper cabinet to the right. We re-used the faucet since it was in very good condition.

An overview of the whole kitchen and dining room.

The best view for birdwatching.

Range hood installed. New stove installed.

The stove is beautiful. I love looking at it. The range hood was a pain to install but worth it!

Trying to keep the clutter cleared.

New Kitchen Nearing Completion

This space is reclaimed for a cereal cupboard and broom closet!
The enclosure hides a post and a heating duct but is basically
just empty inside. 

Here's the colour refreshed, and the new wall cupboards in the dining room.

This is the new kitchen eating "peninsula" with granite top and the new countertop
and cabinets. New stove is not yet delivered. Main window is now turned horizontally
and the new window is installed above sink.
