  Episode 263 - “Breathe” 05.10.2026 4m

  Breathing … what an incredible mystery. When you’re scared you hold your breath, when you’re in love you sometimes forget to breathe at all. But that breath is all yours … keep breathing deeply, we may not think about it… but it truly keeps us living each and every day.

  Episode 261 - “The Violinist of Auschwitz” 01.10.2026 7m

  Tonight’s poem was based on an ink drawing I did of a violinist in one of the darkest places in human history… Auschwitz. It is about hope and compassion for himself and for those prisoners around him. His music shines like a beacon and injects the strength that is needed to make it through another day.

  A tribute to the late great David Marsden, aka The Mars Bar, who introduced me to a world of music through his late night radio voice when I was a teenager growing up in beside Lake Ontario. I was fortunate enough to call him a friend and am grateful our paths crossed later in life. It’s hard when the good ones pass on … especially those that shone so brightly.

  Coffee … that magical heavenly elixir that can help you start your day or help you when you can’t sleep and need to get a few more things done or even just become a warm friend to sit beside you in the quiet of life. This one is for the dreamers, the night owls or anyone else who’s ever found a little bit of heaven in a warm mug of coffee. Sit back … get comfortable and enjoy …,’Coffee’

  I never completely fit into this world. I felt better in my own world of creativity … creating something out of nothing and calling it beautiful before anyone else could tell me it wasn’t …

  Episode 254 - “The Beauty of Silence” 18.09.2026 5m
