		<description><![CDATA[Rusty normally gave me my pay envelope but this particular Friday he said Bernstein had it. The Boss. He wanted to see me for some reason. So there I was on the carpet when I should have been halfway home on the bus by now. &#8220;Brian, what&#8217;s with the hair?&#8221; Seven or eight months earlier, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Folk music has been good to me. Although best known as a jazz devotee, and possibly not as well known as the aficionado that I am of classical Indian music, classical European music, African, Latin, and 300 or so other genres, it&#8217;s folk music that has opened doors when I needed doors opened. When on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a few years producing jazz concerts I started thinking about getting into producing records, too. It was such a great feeling to make great musical events happen on the bandstand and concert stage, so why not do the same for posterity? I wanted to do things no one ever thought of. Not being a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was with a group of friends who decided they wanted ice cream. I rarely eat ice cream but went along. We went to Peter&#8217;s, an ice cream parlour popular in Vancouver years before fancy ice cream places took over with their gelati and whatnot. We sat at the counter. My friends ordered and feeling like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the crazier ideas I had, I was about twenty-two and decided I ought to get a job and live a more conventional life. Do you think it&#8217;s fun living like a damn bohemian? Shunned by society, an outsider, alienated, ridiculed. Well, yes it is but, regardless, I put on my best clothes (most [...]]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t even go to Vancouver&#8217;s Expo 1986, even though I lived a ten minute walk from the site and crossed the Cambie Bridge, which spanned the site, every day to and from the post office where I still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One dark night I found myself in the Selkirk Mountains standing on the highway trying to catch a ride. I looked up and just about fell over. I&#8217;d never seen anything like it before. So many stars, billions of them, and so close I could almost grab a handful. I was literally awestruck. Stars the [...]]]></description>

He never spoke, he just stayed in the background and when something needed to be fixed, [...]]]></description>
