A memoir of music, addiction, mental health, and resilience. 

An expat from small town Scotland to big city Toronto.

"I write about the memories of a time in the 60’s, as a child immigrant to Canada, from a small town in Scotland. How the culture we found here affected us, and me ultimately, mostly through music.

I write about my addiction, something that took hold of me for over thirty years, how I used alcohol (mostly) to deal with and mask my depression and mental health challenges. I write about how I came out the other side, alive, and still upright. 

Sobriety is when the real work starts.

I am a songwriter, musician and podcaster as well. 

A speck of dust in the universe with access to a keyboard."
