Westwardly Thoughts and a New Song

Westwardly Thoughts and a New Song

I'm writing to you from cold Winnipeg. It's a beautiful sunny day here. I took a nice walk and checked out the surroundings. Looks like a cool city. Too bad I didn't get to perform here during the tour but next time.

I crashed at my friend Ryan's place (Tumbleweed Entertainment) last night after a long bus trip from Wabigoon. Where the heck is Wabigoon you ask? It's close to Dryden, Ontario. What a gorgeous spot. It was there that I extended my trip for a day and wrote a new song called, "Writing Postcards from Wabigoon." Performing at The Green Achers of Wabigoon was one of my favourite performing experiences so far. Talk about a supportive audience and such beautiful people.

I'm heading to Edmonton tonight. I am so excited to perform at the Sidetrack tomorrow night with one of my good friends, singer-songwriter, Trevor Tchir. It's been a long time since we've been able to hang out and he's never heard me perform my own songs. Can't wait. Getting excited just thinking about it. That's one of the nice things about touring, getting to hook up with old friends you miss. I'll definitely be wanting to tour lots next year to see all the new friends I have made on this trip.

Two weeks left to go before I head back to my home in Victoria...

I'm going to say goodbye for now but before I do, here are the lyrcs for "Postcards from Wabigoon." I will be performing it at the Sidetrack tomorrow night, with my new Realistic toy keyboard from my childhood years which my Mom gave me last week during my visit to Toronto. It even has lion, laser gun and dog sounds on it and a sampler!

WRITING POSTCARDS FROM WABIGOON

Words and Music by Rozalind MacPhail

Writing postcards from Wabigoon
and it's just one of those nights when I'm missing you
I'm missing you, babe
I'm missing you tonight

I'm missing all the ways that you make it feel so right
I'm missing your voice that soothes me late into the night
I'm missing your smile
and the way that you hold me tight
I'm missing you tonight
I'm missing you tonight

And you don't push yourself upon me like so many others have tried
You invite me into your world as my friend
and you leave it up to me to decide what I'd like
and you leave it up to me to decide what I'd like

That's the kind of love I'd like in my life
That's the kind of love I'm willing to try

And now I'm missing you, babe
I'm missing you tonight
I'm missing all the ways that you make it feel so right
I'm missing your voice that soothes me late into the night
I'm missing your smile
and the way that you hold me tight
I'm missing you tonight
I'm missing you tonight

Writing postcards from Wabigoon
and I'm missing you, babe
I'm missing you tonight

Hugs and Smiles from Winnipeg,
