Hey folks. Here are some songs. Lots of songs. One a day. Swim Drink Fish. And listen. Then donate. It's easy! It's fun! It's 30 Short Songs About Lake Ontario!

This is me around my 4 track cassette recorder, the triceratops of home recording devices. A lot of the songs are about living close to water - youthful summers on Toronto Island; a misspent teenagehood hanging out at the Leslie Street spit; as an adult sailing with my dad out of the Etobicoke yacht club - as well as the f*cked up polluted soup that is our city's lake. Through this series of lo-fi demos - I wanted to call attention to SDFM and the Keepers, whom I've known and worked with for a long time, and who are doing great and estimable work in the face of deteriorating environmental conditions. Almost all of the pieces here were created through the 'instant song' technique-- basically writing and singing whatever came into my head-- although a few were more obviously crafted. Whatever the case, enjoy, and please help support the Waterkeepers. I do and will and will continue to, evermore. x, db (Find Dave's newest album, This Land is Wild, on iTunes).
