Soundtrack Of My Life

February 3
Today is the anniversary of my father's passing. He had a heart attack while in the terminal cancer ward at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital. I was 12. He was 44. That was 41 years ago. I have picked a couple of songs that always play at my heartstrings and bring tears to my eyes.

The first is Luther Vandross: Dance With My Father Again.


The second is Dan Fogelberg: Leader of the Band


When I first heard this song I was 12 or 13. I was taking guitar lessons. My Dad was not musically inclined, but the song spoke to me. The line: 'his blood runs through my instrument' reminds me that his blood runs through me and I am his living legacy. It was something that kept me going through those not kind teenage years.
