Sorry to Jennyvette for missing her lesson Malcolm Hines 2014-11-30 | I teach music lessons at my house. Last Wednesday at six in the morning I fell down the stairs because I was caring Harry my dog. This week we are having some of her house painted. i usually carry Harry and my left arm while I'm holding the flat of my right arm against the wall for security. But, it was early in the morning and I wasn't quite awake yet. So just for second I thought the wall might be wet so I didn't use my right arm so I fell down the stairs. The dog jumped out of my arm and I crashed at the bottom. My wife upstairs said "are you okay? "I said yes. I guess she got up early soon to see if I was really okay. So we wound up watching a movie in the morning in the family room before she went to work. I forgot that I had a music lesson with Jen who is nine at 8 AM. It turns out we can't hear the front or back doorbells or knocking when in the family room watching a movie.The painter and I checked! So sent Jennyvette a video apologizing for missing her lesson but all the time I was calling her Maintland who is her younger sister.i used Polysporin to simulate tears, because I couldn't find any maple syrup like I assumed they used for crying kids in "The Little House on the Prairie". Polysporin tears look a mite x-rated, I think. Maple syrup ones taste good but don't stick on well. One of my other adult students said I should use glue.
The Craps on the Run Malcolm Hines 2013-12-15 | My friend Heather and I were exchanging emails and we were expressing BS and how we must wade through crap that's unpleasant for sure. So we were both a tad grumpy. But full of humour anyway. haha Well...my solution to all that is a good laugh. Her's too, I'm sure. We share a good attitude, I think.

GODS VOICE Malcolm Hines 2013-03-17 | Here is a poem, "God's Voice" I wrote 30 years ago, lost and regained it's essence this past week. I am including it in an eBook of Christian poems that will be published shortly.I decided this morning to put it up on YouTube with some pictures I took and some music found in my trilogy of CD's entitled "Alpha Tones" housed at malcolmhines.com.I hope you enjoy this as much as I did putting it together. Please comment.Malcolm Hines
OK: GROOVE MOUNTAIN AND MEDOODLES Malcolm Hines 2012-12-30 | "Groove Mountain: is my fusion/funky/jazz tune I created. It's long and hypnotic. I love it on a long drive. It develops gradually, so it's relaxing, I think. I often doodle with Gimp. I thought I'd put up the two, modify the doodles, sync 'em with "Groove Mountain" and have another coffee. Hope you like it. Might be nice with an intoxicant, unless you're driving.Mal

THE CITY CUT MY TREE DOWN Malcolm Hines 2012-12-05 | I live in London, Ontario. We have an Ash Borer problem. So the city cut down my tree without telling me they would. They drove over my lawn and wrecked my inground sprinkler system. They won't reimburse me because the edge of my lot is their property. I keep their part as green as my part, so my lawn matches everywhere.Once a year, they drive over my lawn a few times and break my sprinklers with their snow plow.If you take your old TV to the city dump, the young folks there won't help you, so you might get a hernia. But I'm not mad. IT'S THE CITY.
I Do Like Pork Pie Malcolm Hines 2012-12-04 | Pork pie is nice. At least, I think so. Haven't had it for a while though. My wife put some store- bought in the freezer recently. I think she might not get to the pie...I used to have it when I lived with my parents a few decades ago. I hope it's still good. "Pork Pie" sounds funny to me, so I write this song, "I Do Like Pork Pie". Hope you like it. Try the pie. Mal Hines

MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU Malcolm Hines 2010-08-14 | This is the second of a few songs Dad, ED HINES recorded in my studio. The first was "Man, Woman and Music". All of his songs will be up on YOUTUBE in a couple of days and his CD ,"Dad and Me" will be released and up on my website, malcolmhines.com before too long. It will be on bandcamp.com too. Likely in a couple of weeks. I'm getting married this month, August 28, so this might slow me up a little.. I'm learning MotionStudio, so I've got a way to go before I make the video part of this snappy. But I just wanted to get Dad up on YOUTUBE before he's 100!I think he did a great job. Apologies the opening audio isn't quite synced to the video. I'll need to learn some tricks to smooth this out. But, I think the sound is great. Hope you like it. Malcolm Hines
Man, Woman and Music - Ed Hines Malcolm Hines 2010-08-14 | This my dad singing. He s 89 and on Apr 9 he will be 90. When he lived in England as a kid, he was "The Wonder Boy of Whitley Bay". Just a talented kid who would wear a tux and entertain, singing and dancing. He moved to Canada with his wife Doris and two boys-Michael and me, Malcolm. Dad's got quite an ear. No training. But when I brought him to my little studio at my house, he recorded a half dozen songs. Didn't need second takes. What is especially impressive is that he can do this with two hearing aids. This is my first shot at putting anything on YouTube, so I hope I did it right. I'm making a CD of dad. It'll be done soon. It has a number of songs that he wrote during the war years. I made arrangements for him. Sometimes he would phone me and sing his song and then play them on his Hammond organ. Then I'd make a simple arrangement, he's record with it and then....well, here he is. Give 'em a listen. Look for more of his tunes. I'll put them up as fast as I can. If you like this or are intrigued by it, visit malcolmhines.com and hear some of the CD's I have there. His CD will soon be up, called "Dad and ME". He has about 25 minutes of material, so I'll add some of my material to give a listener a nice hour. Yesterday, I went with him to get the groceries. Took about an hour. I told him he could save 15 minutes if he didn't smoosh with the other shoppers. But he just laughed. He likes people.
