A welcome email came in today from N1M, offering promo from them in the Best New Folk Artist category, so here we go; apparently I'm to provide the background info for it. Most of my promo time & effort goes for my acoustic cover of The Weber Brothers' 'I Come From the Future' in Folk Rock; there's a big need for its messages of encouragement & hope, especially lately. The majority of my original songs would likely fall into the Folk category, or Singer-Songwriter genre, & I have been cycling them in one at a time on N1M, along with the Featured (ICFtF) & Title songs from my album 'More Love to Begin'. Currently 'A Runaway Train' is #3 of my allowed postings, a song that took 3 weeks to write. It is a tribute & memorial to the 47 souls lost overnight on 6/7/13 in Lac-Megantic QC from an unnecessary train derailment, but also is a call to action for those we trust with our transportation methods and legislation - whoever authorised for a 70+ car train with 5 locomotives to be operated by one man needs to have their head examined, & IMHO, prosecuted. It would certainly explain why only 7 brakes were applied by that exhausted person at the end of their shift on that fateful night. PTSD took another soul, a front-line responder, some days afterward, the toll from what they saw, and had to do, being too great to bear. 'Michipicoten' goes back to 1975, and the various others, love songs and some from personal experiences, are from as recent as the past decade. The title song is from a poem by Buster Fykes that I was allowed to put to music. Thank you for your interest. Message me if you want a CD, or info on where they are in stock. D.
