I spent four years studying at Briercrest. Four year of life that I seem to tell people these days that I am not paid for. No credit to me financially in my teaching career. But I often take the time to tell people of how one evening, I was asked by a fellow student to go for a walk in the chilled autumn evening to his car in the student parking lot to listen to a song. A song that had added colour to his life.
This moment of intentional sharing has paid dividends over the last 20 years that have likely been more valuable than any monetary compensation for my years of study.
The song was All The Diamonds by Bruce Cockburn.

Beautifully done, Brian! Wow. If you ever have a spare moment and the inclination, I'd love a compilation CD of your favourite Cockburn songs. I'd be happy to reciprocate in whatever way I can.
Thanks, Andrea. I'm glad you still visit. I'd be happy to do a CD for you. I have quite a few favourites, but I'll try to boil it down to fit on 1 CD.
Splendid !
I take it you have heard / purchased Slice O' Life ?
If you have not checked out or heard of Tommy Emmanuel, do so now...do not wait...he's the best acoustic player on the planet. His Live at Center Stage DVD will make you either 1) cut your hands off at the wrist or 2) weep in pure wonder and joy
Rosster,
Actually I hadn't heard yet, but thanks for letting me know. I will be buying that right quick.
I'll check out Tommy right now, too. Sounds great...I love weeping in wonder and joy.
