about

Tom's first solo recording , "Made of Sky," (Mylodon Music, 1998) has won many friends. Fan favourites include
- a hauntingly beautiful tribute to Tom's prairie ancestors ("The Far Saskatchewan");
- a reflection on the building of the Canadian railroad ("Eyes Of Asia" -- co-written with Joan MacIsaac);
- a rollicking gospel-style explanation why "A Man Must Wear A Tie";
- a bluesy celebration of the "Skinny White Male";
- a look into the soul of an "Underground Parking Lot Attendant";
- a faux-reggae wish-list called "All I Want"; and
- some poignant songs of love lost and found, including "Only The Moon And Me," "Didn't Intend To," and "Simple Song."
