Tami Neilson’s Love And Loss

Tami Neilson

Tami Neilson

One of my favourite musical discoveries from this past year is old tyme country crooner, Tami Neilson.

Neilson, who lives in New Zealand but was originally from Canada, at one point used to have to busk on the streets of Midland, Ontario for food. Knowing Midland as I do, that she could succeed at this is a profound marvel to me.

I wrote a feature story on her for The Bluegrass Situation.

To read about the busking as well as tales of meeting Roy Orbison, not-meeting Johnny Cash and more, click here.

No, I’m Not Glamorizing My Autism

The spectrum

When Sarah occasionally writes about her autistic experiences for various publications there’s usually a virulent response, almost always from the parents of an autistic child, who tries to shout her down by saying she’s a) not autistic enough, so her opinion doesn’t count, or b) glamorizing the whole thing.

This is not true.

She explained why in a piece she wrote for The Establishment.

Reason Why You Shouldn’t Kick Elevator Doors

Sometimes learning the physical skills of a given martial arts isn’t always accompanied by the learning of wisdom.

Sarah wrote about this phenomenon in a story of misadventure for Asian World of Martial Arts.

In said story you’ll learn about, amongst other things, the person who tried to karate kick an elevator door.
