Try a Little Kindness

Hi Friends, I love this music video!

This song is special to me as a songwriter/performer, and this is a great version that put in tears in my eyes as a teacher! The first time I likely ever heard anyone play and sing guitar was this song. I was about 4 years old, and Dennis Herbison (my aunt’s brother) sang it around a kitchen table at my aunt and uncle’s place in Peace River.

I remember that moment so clearly. It was the moment that gave me my life’s direction and purpose because right then I saw that music was magic, and playing music was what I wanted to do. Thankfully, some 55 years later I am still playing music and have shared this magic with many thousands of students who I have been honoured to teach over my career. I still cover this song, and love performing it. And yes, music is magic. Keep on singing, friends!
