VIN 001, VIN 002, VIN 003...
For the last 17 years, I have been collaborating with Seattle/Los Angeles-based Light In The Attic Records as a freelance contributor. The forthcoming Creation Never Sleeps, Creation Never Dies: The Willie Dunn Anthology is my last labour of love for the successful label.
On September 23rd, my 46th birthday, Voluntary In Nature, a humble “outlet for sharing,” will be offering three albums to the world of music in cooperation and collaboration with those who made them.
The first is an unreleased recording from 1976, the second, a regional, cassette-only release from the early 1990s, and the third, a privately pressed 1974 demo album with only 99 copies ever made.
VIN 001, VIN 002, VIN 003…
Please note: Each of the above titles qualify as Canadian content, but not all are “Canadian.” Where it goes next is anybody’s guess?
That being said, VIN’s aim is always universal and pro-artist, something I have found lacking in the business of music.
More information to follow... PEACE

Episode 500-Five Hundred Sipreano Voluntary In Nature-The Stunt Man's Radio Show
There's no other way to say it, j'adore The Stunt Man. Who doesn't Even the odd scorned lover of days gone by surely has a soft spot in their heart for the man born Greg Mindorff. His sweet sound audio work has been recognized by NASA, The Grammy Awards, Royal LePage Powell River, and even Voluntary In Nature, so you BEST believe that there is a reason that I've referred to him as "The Friendly Helper" over the years on projects such as the re-release of Innocent Youths by Earth, Roots & Water, Sipreano with Decaf and The Stunt Man, Native North America (Vol. 1), and the forthcoming VIN 001(Hmm...). In a macadamia nutshell, The Stunt Man makes the universe a better place to be in and also helps people to be better at being themselves. So when Greg asked me to take the reins for Episode 500 of his long-running radio show (What an honour!), there was no way that I could let him down. Well, I'd at least try to fill the space w/ an hour of harmless mirth fit for a king! It's absolutely MIND-BOGGLING to think that for five hundred consecutive weeks, yes FIVE HUNDRED CONSECUTIVE WEEKS (!!!), The Stunt Man has delivered a radio program for your listening please, a gift that continues to give. All but one episode are archived for your listening pleasure at https://www.mixcloud.com/TheStuntMan/ If you dig deep enough, there's even some more Sipreano (RIP) in the mix, but of course, Episode 500 had to be delivered with the appropriate levels of ceremony, pomp, and circumstance for a milestone of such stature. It's no surprise that I bow my head to The Stunt Man once more. To friendship! Crab legs! And what's in store! (MORE) PEACE
