Strange, black humour unfolds in this poetic discord where the rain never stops falling. This original release sidesteps normal, taking you down the freaky roads of my imagination. Born from serious drama, this ballad shines light into the dark as it drives down fantasy lane. It's funny how events that happened a lifetime ago can still have an impact on our emotions today. Smokeywine tosses out a winner with this capricious, absurd, folksy, bluesy, weird, wacky, oddball, warm and fuzzy sing-a-long.
In 'Baby Sings the Blues', Gerry Potter played the incredible saxophone that floats in and around my acoustic, finger-picking on my Larrivee guitar. I also used my new Thunderbird Bass to put down a strong bottom end, giving it depth and colour. With the addition of Lea Sheldan's awesome harmonies, we feel this folk-song has reached its full potential. As silly and inane as it may sound, most can relate to the truth behind this baby's blues.

I'm happy to say that my venture of getting music out to the masses is growing with more new students on my roster. Teaching is in my blood - the need to share what I know is great and rewarding on all sides. If you want to learn more, go to my Music Made Easy page to find out how to enhance your musical journey.
I'd like to thank my new listeners in Canada, US, Australia and the Netherlands. It's awesome that you guys are supporting organic, homegrown music and local artists. Music brings us all together in a unique, beautiful way and transcends country, race and language. As you walk down that lonesome, twisted highway, remember that clouds of dreams lie at your feet. Till next time, don't feel blue, just sing the blues. Mark Sheldan
