Dorion Bible Camp Songs Home Recordings

.

Six years ago I began recording Dorion Bible Camp songs (the "card" songs). Recently with "Stay at Home", I've begun catching up.

To Playlist on Youtube

Click here for a songbook containing lyrics and chords for these songs and many others from that era at Dorion.

Because it has so many embedded videos, the page takes a while to load (at least with my slow connection), so I've moved it from being the first page you see. So I've moved it to earlier in the year.

Open Mic at Lakehead Beer: Apr. 4/24

.

I sang Leonard Cohen songs:

Tower of Song,
Everybody Knows, and
Bird on the Wire.

Review: "Good performance." - Bobby

Highlight: Being called onstage by Rose to play harmonica on a jazzy song from the 30s. Diatonic C harp over C E7 A7 D7 G7, causing me to fear I'd hit clunkers over the accidentals. Just keep moving and it works.
