Hello everyone:
I hope this little update finds you all happy and, especially, healthy! It’s been well over three years since I last communicated with you and I do apologize for that. However I had an extremely good reason for my lapse. On January 7, 2013 I had a kidney transplant lovingly donated by my wife Julie. I was very ill leading up to the operation and it took me until now to not only recover from the ordeal, but to also get myself back on the scene in a meaningful way. I was going to write a long update of the whole event but decided instead to lead you all to a short blog that sums up the drama. Go to the following link if you want to take a peek.

There is also a short documentary which was filmed for OMNI television that can be seen in Canada at:
Life is thankfully now back to normal and I’m introducing you all to a brand new project that I’m very excited about called ‘On Topic’. It’s a collaborative trio which consists of :
Kim Ratcliffe – guitar
Brad Cheeseman – bass
Aubrey Dayle – drums
We have only been working together since last summer but we already have our first CD called “Second Time Around” completed. It is currently ready for download at the following link. Please join us and you can receive some free music as well.

We will be performing a series of concerts and drum clinics in April and May and if you are close by, we’d love to see you there.
