Happy Thanksgiving,

I'm involved in the Great Canadian Songquest on CBC Radio Two - where 13 Canadian artitsts will immortalize 13 Canadian locations in song.

And you get a chance to nominate what locations matter most, and which artists you'd like to see write about those locations.

Between October 12 and 22 you can go to the site and vote for the place you'd like to have written about, and who you'd like to have write the song, ONCE each day.

So if you'd like to have me write a song about one of your favourite places in Ontario, visit the CBC Radio Two Songquest website and cast your vote!

Hi Folks.

Black Flowers Vol 2 is now available, I'm starting to plan Volume 3 which should be out in May.

I've been writing lots of songs lately, and I'm hoping to record a studio CD in February.

I'm touring the Netherlands and Ireland in January.

All the best.
Lynn.

Summer 2008 ...
LM - June 29, 2008

I've just released "Black Flowers Vol 1". This is a solo CD, just me and my guitar/piano. All the songs have appeard on my other produced CD's, except for the song "When My Ship Comes In" ... my plan is to release Vol 2 in six months, Vol 3, six months after that. The goal is to record all my songs (I've written about 600) in this format. So on each CD there will be previously recoreded songs, and songs that have never been recorded.

I'm really looking forward to The Stewart Park Festival in Perth Ontario. I'll be doing my duties hosting the songwriters circle. I do this every year ... and it's a high point of my summer. Also, I'm going to perform and emcee at the Shelter Valley Festival. This is a really special festival, I highly recommend it. It has the most beautiful stage ...

Lynne Hanson, who pulled me out of the dark ages and set up and maintains this web site, has a great new CD out called "Eleven Months" ... she's on the links page (there's some harmony singing by yours truly).

Happy summer.
Lynn
