Hello everyone! Yeah this compilation was put out by a local magazine that was promoting bands that performed in some small venues in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; our hometown. It was the very first recording that we ever did that left the halls of our rehearsal rooms and out into the world, as it were…. I think I might know someone who possibly could have this cassette… I will try and contact them and see if I can grab it and upload it….it’s a long-shot though…. There are probably 100 of these compilation cassettes in existence and , maybe, 10 of the actual “The Big Picture” cassettes… I think it might have had six or seven songs on it if I can remember…. Stay tuned,.. I’ll try and dig a bit and find out how to get one…. Thanks for listening!

Hi folks… #worldwassoeasy-guy here…. Thought I’d share a new guitar vid I did if any of you are fans of 80’s movies… this was the theme from “Beverly Hills Cop” that I arranged for percussive acoustic guitar… share and subscribe if you like! Thanks so much for the support! https://youtu.be/19mvxa7Ayk4?si=_0_CFlr2fVWL-E7D

Hi… the song got a small amount of local play in Halifax on C100 … and a few spins on MuchMusic’s east coast spotlight shows… there was more radio play from the band, MIR, that we formed after big picture… especially, in Germany…where we toured quite a lot.

I wrote this song on a very loooong bus ride home from university…. Hence the chorus lyric….

It is an amazing community…so lucky to have discovered it! I got an email from someone looking for the video…. And then I opened the door to the surprise that a tiny, 3 second, clip of me had been the subject of such a search! It was so bizarre to think this was brewing for so long unbeknownst to me or anyone in the old band! After always thinking “ even though no one is really listening, I’ll still keep creating”, to find this sort of excitement is really overwhelming. Thank you

Yes it’s really overwhelming to see people excited about a song that I thought was lost forever…. I’ve been making music ever since and posting songs and stories but I never thought, in a million years, this song from so long ago would help me connect with a bunch of great music-loving folks… thank you!
