about

Cairo was a cat. He came to us by way of Jacqueline who was required far away. Cairo preferred not to travel great
distances. His understanding was limited in a way that did not allow for planes.
Cairo investigated every guitar that came to our home. The main guitar here is named Bradley after my late, great,
nephew. The green man built my guitar for me. Bradley’s brother and sister (Conner and Shyanne) did not meet
Cairo but they made an excellent team with Bradley. They still do.
Well that is the question. What predated Cairo and what post dated him? In one way it is clear and in another it
is not. Does a cat friend ever go away? Doesn’t it feel like they were always around? Cairo was our best pal and he
deserves this album. If a comic book was written and he was involved he might have a speaking part and there
might be a bridge with a troll or something. The troll would ask him some questions and he would meow in a way
that would answer the troll correctly. He was a fierce explorer and a compassionate cuddler.
The muse is everywhere you see. There is nothing like a cat to remind one of such.

Neil is from Saskatoon and lives in Toronto. He has many things to be thankful for. ... more
