Remember Your Friends –
Gotta a problem to figure out, Mind’s confused, filled with doubt
Need to learn what it’s all about, It’s time to give a friend shout
Sometimes saying the words out loud, and letting go.
It starts to make sense when you’re hearing the words. The energy’s not so tense
Remember your friends, give them a call, They’re there to help you when you hit the wall
Remember your friends, they’re holding the space, to get you back to a happier place
Nudging you with a question or two, Giving you time to think it through.
Keeping in mind, it’s all about you, ^ Not judging anything you do
Never worry ‘bout what you say, Between you and them is where it will stay
Friends honour your trust that way, Seeking the truth, Come what may
Remember your friends, give them a call, They’re there to help you when you hit the wall
Remember your friends, they’re holding the space, to get you back to a happier place
Ease and grace, are what they hold dear, Calm and gentle, being the mirror
Workin it through, freeing the fear, Always touched, by a sacred tear
I remembered my friends, gave them a call, They were there when I hit that wall
I remembered my friends, they held the space, to get me back to a happier place

Shirl Girl Bo Birl
It’s been a hard day’s week, now the sun’s going down.
Shirley’s getting ready for a fun night on the town.
Getting dressed in her sparkles, she’s hums a little tune.
Singin’ and dancin’ sends her over the moon.
“ShirlGirl Bo Birl” her friends laugh and shout.
As she skips into the bar. Whirling twirling about
“ShirlGirl Bo Birl” with wings upon her feet
Flying ‘cross the dance floor, groovin’ to the beat
Their vows said forever, but he walked, left her alone
The kids have flown the coup, now it’s a quiet home
The only cure for the loneliness and heartache that she’s found
Is kicking up her heels to that good ole country sound
“ShirlGirl Bo Birl” her friends laugh and shout.
As she skips into the bar. Whirling twirling about
“ShirlGirl Bo Birl” with wings upon her feet
Flying ‘cross the dance floor, groovin’ to the beat
Times get hard, times get tough, and you’ve just had enough.
Dancing fills that empty cup, with folks that light you up
“ShirlGirl Bo Birl” her friends laugh and shout.
As she skips into the bar. Whirling twirling about
“ShirlGirl Bo Birl” with wings upon her feet
Flying ‘cross the dance floor, groovin’ to the beat

Search for Gold

The Search for Gold
Here’s a little story, of a time not long ago
Of the brave Barbaro family that went searching for gold
Head up north, you’ll get rich, that’s what they were told
So they packed up what would fit, and everything else was sold
Three long months in a covered wagon, from Pincher to Dawson Creek
The journey was a tough one, not for the mild and meek
By the time they arrived, everyone was tired and weak
But here was the fortune, the gold they did seek.
Search for gold, the search for gold,
who knew how the story, would unfold
They slogged and they sluiced, the going was rough
Pickin’ and a’foraging through the rock was so tough
After weeks went by, and they couldn’t find the stuff
With winter setting in, they decided enough is enough -
There was only fare for one, so Papa was forced to go
Leaving his wife and 3 daughters, alone to run the show
In a tiny little cabin, dreading months of snow
When they’d meet again, they feared and did not know
Search for gold, the search for gold,
who knew how the story, would unfold
Then one cold and freezing day, a knock came at the door
There stood a Native man, they were scared to the core
He pointed at their rifle, took it and said no more
Now how would they get their food, the prospects looked poor
But on the very next day, as for water they went out
On the porch there laid a rabbit, but there no one was about
All winter food was brought to them, and there is no doubt
This Native man was their savior, not a scoundrel or a lout.
Search for gold, the search for gold,
who knew how the story, would unfold

Good Ole Joe
Let me tell you all a story about a man named Joe, Who had a big dream a long time ago
To go to a camp and have some fun, Playing music by the midnight sun
He searched everywhere in the 49th state, Didn’t find what he sought, that sealed his fate
So he created one, but don’t bring an amp, It’s the Acoustic Alaska Guitar Camp
In a beautiful setting, nestled by a lake,
World class instructors for courses you take
A strummin’ and a pickin’, lots of singing too,
The newbies and the veterans, what a motley crew
Good Ole Joe was proud of what he done, Creating the space for the music and the fun
Only one glitch was standing in his way, He was too damn busy to sit and play
In a beautiful setting, nestled by a lake,
World class instructors for courses you take
A strummin’ and a pickin’, lots of singing too,
The newbies and the veterans, what a motley crew
We invite you Joe, to come and take a break, Sit in the music, for your soul’s sake
Let us all help in anyway we can, To celebrate and honor, a very special man
To celebrate and honor, a very special man
Thank You Joe….

Release and Let Go
In the river of life, We choose our own way,
Do we swim upstream, Or let come what may
Hanging onto a rock, As life rushes by,
Not wanting to let go, To give new things a try
Release and let go, Let the fair winds blow,
Relax in the flow, Release and let go
Release and let go, Let the fair winds blow,
Relax in the flow, Release and let go
Let the sails be full, Let our hearts be free,
Life is so simple, When we let it be
Release and let go, Let the fair winds blow,
Relax in the flow, Release and let go

I grew up in Northern Canada, and while always having a deep love of music, it’s been later in life, since 2012, that I started writing and performing.
My intent is to spread love and joy through music, which hopefully leaves you with a smile in your heart.
