"No big production values. Just me and my guitar. Hope you like it" - Stephen
Stephen was the lead tenor in several high profile choirs and spent a decade as the cantor at St. James' Cathedral, Toronto where he met many celebrities including Desmond Tutu, Queen Elizabeth, King Charles and other members of the royal family.
He'll regularly be singing Victorian/Edwardian era songs (mid 1800's to early 1900's) at the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum's Doon Heritage Village starting in summer 2026.
I HATE SCHOOL
Don't be a fool, stay in school,
That's what they say, but I'm okay,
Don't go to class 'cause I'm an ass,
Don't do the work 'cause I'm a jerk.
Maybe I can get a job in a store,
They don't ask for marks and they don't keep score.
Never read a book, don't know how to cook,
All the words they keep make me fall asleep,
Don't want to learn, I'll just skip my turn,
There's so much to know but I don;t want to go.
Maybe I can get a job in a store,
They don't ask for marks and they don't keep score.
School is not for me, I'd rather watch TV,
Catching reruns all day long, feels so right it can't be wrong,
Grren Acres, Mary Tyler Moore, Gilligan's Island, can't ignore,
Petticoat Junction, The Price is Right, waste my time from morn till night.
Maybe I can get a job in a store,
They don't ask for marks and they don't keep score.
