One of the greatest gifts that music has given me is the excuse to just talk to people and get to know them. If it's after a show and they are sharing their experience of my songs, I feel we are both enriched. Something intentional or maybe not (we have our own perceptions) in my music has affected them, and their speaking to me let's me know that they have received a gift. And this is the gift I receive, to know that what I doing in this world is positively affecting a fellow being. Why else would we be here? And of course I just like talking to people, I do it as much as I can in Vancouver. I find that people if given half a chance will connect, and this we need more of in this in this beloved city.
