In July of 2007, after 30 years of teaching music at the secondary school level I began "Living the Dream". Although I enjoyed very much the years of teaching and leading extra curricular groups, I am looking forward to more time for one of my greatest passions - travel.

Since 1976 I have taken school groups all over Ontario, Canada, to the United States and to Europe. I have taken a choir to Yellowknife in February and had an Oom-pah band from Kitchener play German music for Italian tourists on the shores of Loch Lomond.

I have found over the years, that music is the ideal vehicle to use in crossing cultures, overcoming even the barriers of language.

Since 1989 I have had the pleasure of working with Ellison Tours and now look forward to sharing my expertise in travel with other music groups and fellow travellers.
