Abstract
Five years ago, I began a quest for enjoyment which has evolved and expanded into an epic journey. A ukulele for X-mas quickly gave way to the guitar. While attaining a degree as a sociologist, at 55 years of age, I blossomed to become a musician, poet, author, artist, and performer. With nearly 160 completed pieces of music alone, I have amassed a portfolio any artist would be proud to have. I have composed songs for a Metis language webpage, and painted a wall mural at MacEwan University. I have had song lyrics and stories published. I hold my own on the same stages with some of Edmonton’s finest musicians and poets. Inspiration comes from life’s many ups and downs. I dare to call myself a prodigy since I am self-taught in all my art. However, currently, I am in my 3rd year of psychology, at MacEwan University for a 2nd degree, allowing me to practise music/art therapy. Sweet Baby is a song about anticipating the birth of my first grandchild, yet written through the eyes of the mother to be. Epic Odyssey is my story, events of my life Who Needs TV is also about my life, alcoholism, and family. So Shy is about watching the reactions of children to my busking in the LRT (light rail transit) station in Edmonton, Alberta. The Day My Boyfriend Died, indeed humor, was a black thought put into prose.
