May 2, 2006Poplar Beach, ON LOVE the spring, all the wee trilliums abloom and little birdies aplenty. Am at the cottage on Lake Huron for some more crazy-making creative hibernation. This always involves various kinds of writhing and flailing and tearing of one’s hair out (and often -in the finer season- some serious barbecuing and triple-fermented beer-drinking) …until you finally…   see more…

April 22, 2006East Lansing, MI Hanging out in my super-sweet hotel suite after playing an afternoon gig at the Creole Gallery for Ladyfest Lansing.

April 1, 2006Zihuatanejo, Mexico I have been in Mexico for a week performing at the Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival. Am having the most fascinating adventure.

February 28, 2006Poplar Beach, ON Back from the “balmy” south to my winter wonderland of vast frozen lake-dom. Just got in from playing in the snow. How fun! Now, time to snuggle up with the fire and finish a new song or two… xxx Edge of the Icy World… more photos

February 7, 2006Poplar Beach, ON Well, the storm finally broke and it was a bad one. Spent 2 days without power in the frigid brrrr curled up close to the wood stove. Had to haul borrowed wood from 2 cottages down along the ferociously blustery shoreline cliff with the ice pellets blowing in my eyes and everything. My new official…   see more…
