I'm Your Man has all sorts of lines like "I was born with the gift of a golden voice", "Guys like me are mad for turtle meat" & "if you want another kind of lover I'll wear a mask for you" (this last one can be funny or poetic or pathetic or some combination of all three) that suggest a very active humour. In interviews he has a very dry wit (his story about him, Bob Dylan and how long it takes to write songs -- 2 years for Len and 15 minutes for Bob is a classic as is the one about Len, Phil Spector and a gun) and the timing of a veteran entertainer. Hallelujah is a serious as you want it to be, I just find it hard not to smile at the rhyme of "out drew you" with "Hallelujah". I believe it's meant to be like that...

Now there's a band that is as Canadian as maple syrup! The song is "Ahead by a Century" and it's available at timtamashiro@bandcamp.com. BTW, the Captcha code on your contact page is not working.
