we think sometimes that poverty
is only being hungry, naked and homeless
the poverty of being unwanted
unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty

a desperado has nothing to lose
so everything is on the table
and anything is possible

from the album ONE LIFE
assembled in logic audio and final cut

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind Desperado
slow fades are good
I like long cross-dissolves best
ample time to leave one thought behind
before entering a new one
in and around 1983, my wife to be
Jody Terio and I put a show together
and performed it to a modest/artsy/financially challenged
Thursday night crowd at the Rivoli on Queen West in Toronto
it was called Nuclear Cartoons
I wrote the title track
we were in our 20's
and had a lot
in common
I had just met her and she inspired me
it was all very crude, but I remember
the crowd responding by clapping
after each piece
genuinely appreciating
the effort we had put into it
it was an audio-visual thing
we had taken out a 16mm film projector
from Toronto Public Library (free)
something you could do back then
and we showed holocaust pictures
and synchronized the music
I had created during downtime
at the recording studio
where I worked at the time
there was this new thing called VHS
but the players were a TV thing and
we wanted larger, projected images
since then, a cinematic sensibility
is something I've been drawn to
new sounds and pictures
36 years later
and a tad more refined
it's kinda what I wanted to do back then
and now can - my mission
a new vocation
resurrected
I'm still on the clock
but it's my clock
