Royalty-Free Music, Why the Heck Not?
25/06/10 13:37 Filed in: Music
Therefore, for many of my videos, I’ve painstakingly composed my own songs using GarageBand. Because it’s so hard to find songs, I thought I’d offer my original music to anyone who is making their own videos.
Feel free to download any of the files I’ve posted on this page. I’d appreciate a credit and or/a link if you do end up using them. Happy video-making, folks!

Three New Ed and Jenny Episodes

I just realized that I have failed to post the last three “Ed and Jenny” episodes on this site. If you’re new to these, it’s an animated comedy series I’m working on with Billy Reid, produced by 2: The Source for Couples.
So without further ado...

BY REB STEVENSON
QUALICUM BEACH, B.C. – The year was 1943, and newlyweds Jeanne and Bruce Box were looking for a sweet little getaway.
They heard about St. Andrews Lodge and Glen Cottages on Vancouver Island, a family-run guesthouse by the sea. It sounded nice so they booked it – via telegram, naturally.
Since then, they’ve gone back to that selfsame spot every single year. Put simply: 67 years straight.
“We treated it as the poor man’s Hawaii,” says Bruce, from his North Vancouver home.
The Boxes are both turning 90 this year. But is that stopping them from renting their favourite one bedroom cottage for four weeks this summer? Not a chance.
It’s easy to see what keeps the couple so spellbound.
Situated along a pretty stretch of the Island Highway, St. Andrews Lodge greets you like a vintage postcard from holidays of yore. It consists of a main lodge building (constructed in 1938) and eight cottages that sprang up between 1939 and 1952.
Anyone who has stayed there will tell you that the biggest component of St. Andrews Lodge is actually something little.
Miss Elizabeth Little, to be precise. Read More...
The Big Picture: Saint John, New Brunswick
06/06/10 20:36 Filed in: Canada | Big Picture
It was a foggy, sleepy Sunday morning in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The dead outnumbered the living - at least in the Old Burying Ground. I spent the morning wandering around downtown, thinking about my grandma who grew up here and never stopped reminiscing about the days on Princess Street. She had red ringlets and doughy dimples and said “oh my land” instead of anything even resembling a swear. Have you ever visited a place with family significance? You ought to. Perhaps memories of a place are embedded in our DNA...RIP Grandma Starr, 1916-2008.
A Taste of...Anguilla
What is it? Hungry’s Lunch Truck
Where is it? The Valley
Describe it? Feasting your eyes on Anguilla’s shocking turquoise beaches is free. Feasting anywhere else will cost you an arm and a leg. The small island off St. Maarten (population: 13, 000) has a reputation for fine – but costly – cuisine. To save a few bucks, do as the locals do and visit Hungry’s Lunch Truck in The Valley. Owner Irad Gumbs, a professional chef, serves a host of Anguillian specialty soups like whelk, conch and pea with pig tail. The humble truck also whips up salads, pastas and quesadillas you won’t find at Taco Bell ... lobster in a tortilla, anyone?
How much? $5 US for a bowl of soup, $14 US for a lobster quesadilla.
