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."

    "Toronto provided me with opportunity. Canada, for a while it seems to me, was a bridge and a balance between European sensibilities and US bravado. Although co-opted into American culture through media and the sheer size of her population, Canadians kept separate in our own way. Cultures immigrating here were encouraged to keep their traditions rather than blend in as they might south of the border. But just maybe Toronto aspired to be a “world-class” city in response to the pot-banging from the south. A kind of competition. Regardless, the city we flew into in 1965 is different in every way now. All things change, including places, and I have the luxury of reviewing a city from my childhood that appeared more innocent, naive, and full of hope. Of things to come."

    I found my songwriting moment, on my final tour across the pond.

    In Glasgow. Of all places.

    "I knew one thing now for sure now sitting on that platform, waiting for my train. You cannot live in the past. It was funny. What a revelation. I had travelled across the sky, across the ocean to sit in a place we once left to finally understand. You cannot live in the past."
