Ugh...why does Stingray Easy Listening like Clayderman so much? #ArpeggioOverload

I am never ever crazy about any arrangement of “Memory” that takes Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 10/8 bar and converts it to a 12/8 bar somehow. If it sounds metrically jarring, then LET it be! That’s how he wrote the setting and that’s how it should be reflected.

Finished the audio digitization on schedule. Now digitizing the entire analog video library. Target date of completion: mid-May 2022. Ultimate outcome: create an outstanding environment in which to work on my music full time.

With the pandemic subsiding, things are starting to get crazy busy. The choir at St. Augustine's is starting up again, and it won't be long before Cayenne Spice starts operating again. In a few months I'll even be able to start working on my music full time again. Stay tuned!

In light of a number of spam calls reaching my Toronto number today, ALL calls to it from unknown numbers will be silenced till further notice. Those of you in the GTA who want to book me should call my Ottawa number for the time being instead unless I have dealt with you before.

My Toronto phone number is changing. The new number will be posted to the website soon. In the meantime, the old one will still be active till February 15.

Like it or not, playing a copyrighted CD in a church hall constitutes a public performance—which is ILLEGAL without prior written permission from the copyright holder. Just because you own a copy of a CD, that doesn’t give you the right to do anything you want with it!

A musical performance can be a real bloody train wreck when amateurs don’t pay attention to what a professional wants. (Colossians 3:22–4:1)

Beware JustAnswer. They charged me $2 for assistance regarding a security matter, but then charged me an additional $66 that they hadn’t made a big noise about—a subscription fee that I would not have authorized if I had known about it up front. Do NOT deal with them!!

When you see a church musician performing, please hold off from offering adulation unless you’re sure this will be his absolute last time performing. His work is a service of continuing need and this will likely NOT be his swan song. facebook.com/share/p/17jBQr…
