I am delighted to have my profile and music featured in the HOT Pop Artists category on N1M! As a result, my tune "If You Want A Lover" has re-entered the Top Ten chart for Rockabilly in Ontario. Thank you so much! Here's the story behind the song. It was 1988, I'd ended a long-term relationship, and George Michael's solo debut album/single "Faith" was constantly on the radio. I was ready for new love and new musical directions. I wrote "Lover" on the keyboard as always, and recorded a keyboard part for the demo, but I knew that the tune needed to be guitar-driven like "Faith". One of the recording session guitarists cemented that opinion and argued that keys detracted from the overall song arrangement except when used as a pad in the chorus. Good decision! "Lover" wound up being the opening track of my own solo debut album in 1989, setting an energetic, happy tone. It was the unofficial second single, appearing on the Canadian Sampler for MIDEM '91 in Cannes, as you'll see in the attached image from the CD booklet. Each recording project is different, just as every life stage has its joys and challenges. The tunes that I'm writing these days reflect both the seriousness of the times and the joys we need to embrace if we are to survive and thrive. I'm glad that "Lover" has stood the test of time and is being enjoyed all over again. Thank you all, take good care of yourselves and others, and keep spinning good music!
