Dilettante is a collection of songs I’ve written and recorded over the last 10 years or so.

 

I'm excited to share them and will be releasing them

in this space one at a time over the next couple of months. Welcome to week 11!

 

We could call it a record, an album, or a playlist.

 

All the tunes were produced and recorded in Canada in various locations; wherever Tim Thorney (the great!) has had his studio, Villa Sound, that’s where I’d go, from Toronto to the lovely Blue Mountains of Ontario.

This week brings A Better Day. Ohhh, you know--

one of those songs in which I was working out some old stuff: taking stock, releasing, looking with a new lens and hopefully owning it all.  

​

I seem to recall that the song morphed a few times in the studio before it came out the way it did, with its tinge of bluegrass and its hint of a smile. At one point it was even arranged like a Burt Bacharach tune replete with horn section! Which kinda worked, actually!  

​

But I, for one, am happy that we landed on what you hear here.

Hear, hear!

​

XOXO,
