With all the news of political unrest, I was led back to thinking about the music of my youth and the peace movement which started out with much resistance, but which grew and grew to finally have a prodigious role in ending the Vietnam War. This song was of course a classic from the era, and I was moved to sing it once more.
I was also moved to launch a web site MAP Of The World, MAP being Music, Art, Peace. It is a refuge to go to and appreciate the creativity of this world. You're welcome view it for a moments repite if you wish. There is no promotion, advertising or monetization of any kind.

“Backporch Confidential,” is now available in a signed, limited, vinyl edition. The album, Tim's ninth, is an intimate and candid collection produced in the style of close-up, coffee house affinity.
“A master of his craft” - Roots Music Report of Texas; “A beguiling songwriter who combines eloquent poetry, interesting and percussive guitar playing, and a voice that drips with passion and authenticity” - Acoustic Guitar Magazine.
Vocals are in high relief supported by raw acoustic guitar, a pinch of banjo, mandolin for spice, and some gentle vocal harmonies provided by Tim's partner Carol Edwards-Harrison. Old pal Rodger Tippin joins on drums for a tribute to the Rocket Radio.
“Backporch Confidential” follows the muse, not the script, that same creative path which Tim took as Artistic Director and founder of several folk music festivals and events.
The album is available digitally from Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and Tidal etc. and also from Tim's site at timharrison.bandcamp

"In the story of Canada's folk music festivals, Tim was there at the very beginning and he's still there now. While founding one of Canada's major festivals and helping to nurture several others, he has 
continued to write and perform his exquisitely crafted music at venues across the country. Here's Tim's story of how roots music rolled across the country to become a major force in our culture. It's a wonderful journey and we couldn't ask for a better guide than Tim Harrison."
David Essig, Canadian blues legend record engineer
"As creator and curator of seminal folk festivals and events, and as a champion of great Canadian songwriters (and being one himself) Tim Harrison has left a lasting heartprint on the folk world. His insights and memories will be a treasure for any lover of Canadian Folk Music."
Eileen McGann
Singer, songwriter, painter.
"Tim Harrison has blazed many trails, avenues of cultural expression, roads which we in Canadian folk music have trod for years, and now he shares that with all of us; this book with lift eyebrows."
Valdy
Well-loved Canadian singer, entertainer, musician
Convinced by musician friend Bryan Leckie to write a book around my adventures particularly pertaining to the beginnings of the Summerfolk Festival which I founded with my brother John, I had no choice but to respond to his double-dog-dare to do it. But I must say, that once into it, I enjoyed the process and the rememberences of the many fine people I met along the way, the ones who shared their hope and joy, the ones whose work inevitbly was the finest kind of deep experience. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. Available in soft cover or audio book. Purchase here!
