Hi, my name is Tom Newman, and I live in a rural area north-east of Toronto. I was a school teacher for thirty years, and since retiring from teaching several years ago, I have been refining and recording some songs which I have written over the past decade. I am a singer/songwriter (country/folk genre), and accompany myself with an acoustic guitar. The songs on this album, Emotional Cocktail, are primarily about my innermost feelings. Some of the songs are sad, reflecting the intense emotions of a failed relationship, while others are more positive and uplifting, reflecting the need to rise again from the ashes. Cheers Tom Newman
