I'm often asked about the meaning of some of the track names I use for my work. People are interested about how I come up with some of the rather odd sounding titles for music that is instrumental in nature. It's not like I can just use a line from the lyrics!

Virtually every title has a personal meaning to me. The words chosen connect the music to people, places, or events that have some significance to me. I have written tracks about specific people too, often using geeky anagrams for no reason other than to have a little secret no one else knows. "Unsafe Sooner" = "One For Suesan" for a co-worker, for example.

Here is a track from the vaults that has meaning to me. One friend thought the track title was a drug reference (?!?) but The Narrows (one of the locks on the Rideau system near our old family cottage we used to own) is in fact a place I spent a lot of summers growing up. Next week I hope to return to this place with my wife and son.

Ok, I'm all settled in at the new house. Been working tracks on the PC until I get the studio back together. It's been nice being forced to do tracks this way, as the majority of my gear is still boxed up. I'm getting the hang of things.
