Artist picture
Solo acoustic folk rock, singer-songwriter, in the Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce style.
I'm a singer/songwriter from the Niagara region who has been playing the bars and clubs of this area for over 30 years. I did some band work in the past, and that was a lot of fun, but for the past ten years or so I've just gone back to using my trusty 12-string and my voice. In the spring of 2005 I finally finished recording my debut album, Ghosts, and so far the reaction to it has been incredibly positive. I wanted to keep it simple and straightforward, like the early records of my musical hero, Gordon Lightfoot, and I was really pleased with how everything turned out. I hope to start work on the next album in the coming year, which like my current one will contain a mixture of old and new songs, but will hopefully be a bit sunnier in tone. I still enjoy performing a great deal - it's still one of the favourite things in my life.

Story behind the song
This song was written sometime in 1977. It’s about that one person who you admire from afar, fantasize about, but never think in a million years you could ever have. The girl I wrote this for was very popular and almost every guy at her highschool wanted to date her. For a guy like me, who was never popular in school, she seemed completely out of reach, and yet still she took a liking to me, though it never went much further than that. Now that so many years have gone by she remains one of my closest and best friends. Funny how things work out sometimes. Aside from the sampled cello part played by Dean, this song is completely me, playing by myself.
Lyrics
Fantasy Girl (Lyrics by Marty Murray) If I never made you smile I'd be the losing one But as it is I'll dream awhile Of you in the setting sun I'm not the one for you I'll probably never be But you're my fantasy girl Don't take my dreams from me If I never held your hand I'd be on the losing end And though you're not with me right now I can still pretend I'm not the one for you I'll probably never be But you're my fantasy girl Don't take my dreams from me Don't take my dreams away from me
