“Trick Rider” – Gord Downie
For some it’s robins. Most depart south by the end of August and begin to return north in February and March (exact dates vary with latitude and climate). For others, it’s crocuses. Crocuses typically appear shortly after the snow melts, sometime around April 1st-21st. Blooms only last for two weeks, so the window to see […]
I used this song for a montage when Pace turned six but really think of it as “Sasha’s song” since it was the first song I sang to her in the delivery room after she was born. Pace’s first song was more planned – I knew I wanted to play him John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” […]
