Hi! I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter currently living in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. I've been performing music in one way or another since the mid '60's, starting out singing tenor in a barbershop quartet with my brothers and then into a progression of bands playing rock, jazz, blues and country and... whatever. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm still as exited about it as the day I began. Ralph Atkinson

I grew up in Toronto and seeing the picture of this TTC Silver Bullet made me click on it and listen, Ralph. I used to love the sound of the Subway trains screeching to a stop. It's very cool the way you blended the effects and the jazz! Are you a west ender? I noticed Dundas West. I lived just off Runnymede. Nice work. If your interested, I have an instrumental called 'Union Station' on my http://www.soundclick.com/thesonicsalad page.

Great concept track...Fabulously done with the power of blues soaring throughout. Your guitar work sizzles with the raw emotion of the blues energy source. Interesting drum work provides a creative backdrop for this subway induced gem...Really enjoyed listening.
