A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Music Matters: Lyrics About Love and Hope

SO MUCH TO DO

So much to do…so little time
So many mountains I’ve yet to climb
So many echoes … but it’s an empty sound
So many people…so little common ground

So many words pass through my pen
So much starting all over again
In a world where nothing ever seems real
It’s hard to touch what you truly feel

(CHORUS)
So much to do…so little time
So many mountains I’ve yet to climb
So much to do…so much to say
I’ve got the fever and it won’t go away

So many people I’ve yet to know
So many heartaches yet to lay me low
So much confusion to suffer through
So many broken dreams before one comes true

So much to do in a single life
Too little harmony and too much strife
All we can do is fight the good fight
All we can do is hold onto each other tonight

(CHORUS)
So much to do…so little time
So many mountains I’ve yet to climb
So much to do…so much to say
I’ve got the fever and it won’t go away

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE

You gotta believe
In the power of you
Come what may
It’ll see you through
You gotta believe
It’s right there in your hands
You gotta go with what you know
And believe you can

You’ve gotta believe
In the powers above
Who fill your heart with joy
And your soul with love
Though the times are tough
Believers are tougher than the rest
And when it’s all said and done
You stand with the best

(CHORUS)
You gotta believe!!!
You gotta believe
And you know it’s true
You gotta believe
You gotta believe
In the power of you

You gotta believe
In the power of love
You gotta know deep in your soul
That you’re a part of
A world that give a second chance
To anybody who goes wrong
And if you believe, you will receive
And you will be strong

You gotta believe
In the power of you
Come what may
It’ll see you through
You gotta believe
It’s right there in your hands
You gotta go with what you know
And believe you can

SIMPLE SONGS FOR COMPLICATED PEOPLE

Simple songs
For complicated people
Hopin’ they will listen
And understand
That the powers of the mind
Can never be confined
And that any old highway
Can lead to the Promised Land

Simple songs
For complicated people
Feelin’ more confused
As time goes by
Livin’ in a world of dreams
That’s rippin’ apart at the seams
Sometimes it all feels
Just like a crazy lie

(CHORUS)
But you can look up at the stars
And they’re still shinin’
You can look into each other’s eyes
And there’s still a glow
There’s so much more to this life
Than just givin’ up and resignin’
You’re not dyin’, you could be flyin’
That’s all you need to know

Simple songs
For complicated people
The more you sing
The more you will forget
All the pointless information
That clutters your imagination
And clips your wings
With cruel strokes of regret

I have been a writer since the age of 14. I started writing short stories and poetry. From there I graduated to writing lyrics for various bands and composers and feature-length screenplays, two of which have been produced. I had a  20-year career in senior positions in Canadian and multi-national agencies and a second career, which began in 1989, (Onwords & Upwords Inc), as a strategic and creative resource. Early in 2020, I closed Onwords & Upwords and effectively retired. I am now actively engaged, through blogging and memes, in showcasing businesses that are part of the green revolution. I am also writing short stories which I will be marketing to film production companies. I live with my wife, Heather, in the beautiful Niagara Region of southern Ontario, after migrating from Toronto, where I spent most of my adult life.
