Dear Friends, sending our wishes for a safe and healthy holiday season in these uncertain times. 

In August I streamed a family concert for the Vancouver Island Regional Library Summer Reading Club, you can see it for free at https://www.facebook.com/MyVIRL/videos/603369640547533

Nico and I have postponed all live shows until 2021 due to virus risk, but in July we did a 90 minute ROOTS & GROOVES live stream for Big Folks from the Duncan Showroom, see that for free at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kIgratVwGs

Here's  ANGELS DO with Nico https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0RGUCrM3ic&feature=youtu.be and Nico and me with PIED PUMKIN in the concert celebrating my induction into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame in July 2019. An old song still rings true after 45 years, PEOPLE I LOVE YOU!   https://youtu.be/KNNAhwFQtx8
