The links below will take you to various posts marked with that particular "label" (usually with pictures or videos) in my blog. They will appear in reverse chronological order. This will mean that, as I continue to post in 2020 and beyond, you will have to scroll down to find 2019. Or simply click Highlights of 2019 only instead. My paid work this year included Crossing Guard, Standardized Patient at the Northern Ontario Medical School (c. once a month Sept. - May), Sexton (caretaker) for Gathering Table Anglican Church, and Music Care at Pioneer Ridge Home (twice a month, and occasionally with an individual in his home). As well, I have accompany the Pope John Paul II School Choir for masses etc. Other occasional paid gigs include modeling for figure artists, teaching guitar, and backstage work as a Dresser for touring shows at the TB Community Auditorium. I continue to sing as a volunteer at Pinewood Court and Pioneer Ridge, as well as every second week at St. Thomas Anglican's Community Meal. See the music section below for other gigs, such as open mics. I am now the Past President and a Life Member of Cambrian Players, and my theatre involvement is described below, including many Cambrian Improv shows. My volunteer camp work is described below as well. I also belong to the Square Book Club, which meets monthly (approximately), which includes Keri, Tamara, Anne, Natalie, Katrina, Tim, and Bryan. (Sometimes we call it "Food Club".) Family Family Gatherings for birthdays, christmas, etc. Sadly, my former brother-in-law, "Doug Sr." passed away in May. It was not planned this way, but his service in June coincided with visits from family members who were therefore able to participate. Church Both St. Luke's and St. John's Anglican parishes closed last year. Members of each (and others) have come together as Gathering Table Anglican meeting in the building of the former St. John's. I am employed there part-time as Sexton (i.e. caretaker). Last Christmas I started singing with New Song for the "contemporary"* songs, and later with the choir for those in the blue book. * not really. No Hip-Hop.

Most of these are Open Mic sessions at Cheer's Pub, pictured above. I have also been updating a page of my gigs here going back to the early days, though I'm not sure why. Due to Tbaytel problems, I've not been able to update it recently. Not much recording this year, but I did finally make a lyric vid for this old song of mine, which was regaining popularity at the open mics. And then Don was fired & the segment discontinued.: And check out this video from 2017: Please, note that I have started a new Youtube channel for my music only. Please view, like and share these videos, and Subscribe to this new channel -- even if you've previously done so on my other channel. Thanks.
