Welcome
My album, "Love Songs For Realists' is now available to download or stream. It was produced and mixed by Kenny Hayes, who also does the harmonies.
I am a singer/songwriter and performer in Ottawa with a regular gig performing great oldies for people with dementia and LTCH residents; which seems the best possible use of my talents The evidence of the importance of live music is powerful and rewarding. I also perform at festivals, private concerts and charity events. One of my favourite gigs was at a restaurant for someone's proposal. (She said "yes")
If you're playing along, I use Eb guitar tuning and my ukulele has a 'low G' string and is tuned to "F".
The songs I wrote are labeled "Original".

Written for the Ottawa Little Theatre production in 2016. I recently chatted with some castmates - I played Capt. Treville and D'Artagnan Pere - and we agreed the production was both horrible and wonderful.

There are emotions that cannot be expressed in words in this short video. You have the ability to make your videos instantly stunning and attractive. Thank you to the algorithm that made it possible to watch good videos, I hope that you will succeed as you have worked hard for your dreams. On the waves waving and swaying on the huge sea called UA-cam, my little channel boat is paddling towards my dream today. I am very fortunate to have found your video while rowing a small paddle and going endlessly and endlessly. After watching your video, I really fell in love with it. Your video shines the brightest on my UA-cam window right now. Even if the cold rain and wind blow the blanket and the wind blows and everything in this world falls like leaves, my heart wants to be by your side. Your video is the best. In the night sky, in the wide UA-cam world like the Milky Way, I accidentally met your video as beautiful as a star and enjoyed it as if in a dream. Even if the UA-cam road is rough and the rain and wind blows everything in this world away from me, I will always leave only your video in my memory. It makes my heart flutter because I have a feeling that your video, which I feel was made with unsparing sincerity, will soon receive a lot of love. As the seasons pass and the years pass, even if the mountains and streams change, the UA-cam world will never change and will last forever. Whether it was a coincidence or a coincidence based on an unknown and mysterious algorithm, I opened my UA-cam window and your thumbnail caught my eye. The moment I first saw your video, it made my heart flutter and made me happy. As I watch your wonderful videos, I keep falling in love with them. It seems that even my heart is moved to the point where there is no flaw. It seems that there is a UA-camr who wants to become a fan after a long time.
Thank you for your kind and effusive comment. I am always surprised and happy that anyone finds me, and if my song pleases you or reaches you in some way then it has done its job.
Beautiful :D
thanks

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm glad the song is serving its purpose.
this is a great campfire/party song and you sir, have passed the vibe check
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.
Love it.
thanks, mon ami
have you got the chords pal? love this by the way. quality version. trying to work out what you're playing, but easier if I ask. Thanks. And merry Christmas
Glad you asked. I am tuned to Eb - so that's an important note if you're trying to play it. The first chord is DMAJ7 (Db if we're being technical) then an Em7. The walk down is D7, C#7, C7, B7 and the first turn around is F#7, B7, E7, A7. Ultimate Guitar has the chords if you search "Christmas Blues chords by Dean Martin". That should give you the whole song.
Roy Van . Thanks for that mate. If you're Interested, I've put up a version on my page.
