Some of you may recall that I was rallying the troops to donate their old and unused but still functioning iPods to Music Therapy programs back in October of last year. We’re opening the iPod Pharmacy again in an effort to collect some more this month. iPods and mp3 players are a very valuable tool for music therapists in their practice, and sadly there is often a shortage of funds to supply these therapists with the necessary tools in their practice.
Chris Brandt, a co founder of Music Heals, and I dropped by the Rush at Shaw cable last week to talk about the iPod Pharmacy and Music Therapy month.
Music and lyrics by Dominique Fricot (fingering for chords at bottom)
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
Strange Lady I know from another life, an apartment three stories high
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
She stands in the glow of an upstairs light, And I wave but she closed the blinds
D/F# A B G D/F# A B G
In the Summer time, Summer time, please rewind…wind, to summer time
Bm A D/F# G
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
Strange lady I brought to a halt one night, “My face can’t you recognize?”
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
She gasped at the sight of the northern lights. It was clear that she’d lost her mind
D/F# A B G D/F# A B G
In the Summer time, Summer time, please rewind…wind, to summer time
D/F# A B G D/F# A B G
Just love, just love, Be loved, be loved, Just love, just love, Be loved, be loved
Instrumental
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
Strange Lady I found on my porch one night, I asked how she had survived
Bm A D/F# G Bm A D/F# G
Her job that she lost with her nimble mind. She said “Love and be loved, my child”
D/F# A B G D/F# A B G
LIke it’s Summer time, Summer time, please rewind…wind, to summer time
D/F# A B G D/F# A B G
Just love, just love, Be loved, be loved, Just love, just love, Be loved, be loved
D/F# Bm A G
Just love, just love, just love just love just love
D/F# Bm A G
Be loved, be loved, be loved, be loved
I have some music videos on youtube. Underneath said youtube videos, people make comments. I’ve been asked a couple times now to share the chords of my songs. I realized the other day that I could easily do it here. If you so desire you can play my songs too. Here are the chords and lyrics to my song “Haunted by Love”. If you have any trouble with the chart you can ask whatever questions you have in the comment section below this post.
Haunted by love

Em G C
The corner of cambie and 16th the crossroads where we’d meet

Cuz I’m haunted by, haunted by, haunted by, haunted by love. The truth will set you free
Em G C
the pictures of when we thought we were happy are talking to me
Em G C
Say “why can’t you leave it alone can’t you leave it alone for a few weeks, Are you too weak?”
Am C Am C
But nobody’s happy and nobody’s healthy, and only the headless ride horses
G C
You’re haunted by haunted by haunted by love
G C Am C
You wish you didn’t know what it meant to break your heart, I can recommend a place to run

Had a fantastic time playing at Lucky Bar in Victoria last week with Snoqualmie and Wand. There was an astounding amount of photographers in the room and I wanted to give them a each a shout out and share some of their work.
Thanks to all of you. For those interested in seeing some of the shots from the night, check out the links beside the names.
Victoria Music Scene.com also came out and shot quite a few videos of songs from the night. You can view them all here. I’ve also included one of my favour moments from Lucky Bar, my cover of the Outfield’s “your love”. Thanks for singing so sweetly Victoria.
For those of you living on Vancouver Island, I’ll be coming for one night to play a show in Victoria at Lucky Bar on Tuesday January 29th. Sharing the stage with me will be two great local acts Snoqualmie and Wand.
Advance tickets are available for $10 online at www.brownpapertickets.com or at Ditch Records or at the door for $13.
It’s not so often that I cross the straight to come see my island friends so if you can, hope you can make it out.
I’m quite excited to be playing a show with the Four on the Floor string quartet and a host of Vancouver talents in one of my favourite venues. On December 13th Four on the Floor is putting on “String Fling” a very classy showcase where they will be supporting 5 absolutely stellar Vancouver acts including Data Romance, Shaun Verreault and Peak Performance finalists the Gay Nineties, Ali Milner and myself.
Tickets are $15 in advance at Red Cat Records, Zulu and online at www.hipcitymusic.ca. That’s a whole $5 off the door value so get them before they’re gone.
If you don’t remember Four on the Floor, perhaps this little video will remind you of their virtuosity.
Let me ask you a question. Do you have an old iPod or mp3 player at home that still works that you don’t use anymore because you got a new one? If so, I strongly encourage you to donate the old one to the Music Heals iPod Pharmacy. As you’ll see in the video below, iPods are an incredible therapeutic tool used every where from old folks homes to children’s hospitals.
I’ve teamed up with Music Heals in an effort to help Music Therapy Programs. If you donate a used but still functioning iPod, you’ll be entered to win a Free House Concert from myself.
If you’d like to help out please send your used but functioning mp3 player to:
“Attn: iPod Pharmacy”
Suite 400 – 1788 W. 5th Ave.,
Vancouver, B.C. V6J 1P2
Remember to include your name and contact information so we can get ahold of you when you win the contest.
