Comin in on a Train

youtube link

I moved to the big city when I was 17 years old. A few years later my teenage sweetheart came to visit.  She came on a train, of course. While the wine was chilling I was waiting for her arrival I wrote this song. I haven't seen Sue in like 35 years! Maybe more! I still remember her visit!

It Is What It Is

watch this on youtube

I was starting to write an instrumental track for the upcoming CD, "the adventures of Backroads Brent," when I realized I already have an excellent instrumental song. I re-recorded, "It Is What It Is," a song from the 2003 Brent & Woofy CD, "Under A Star."You will recognize this song as the theme song of the Brent & Woofy Radio Show. (2007-2013.) It will make an excellent addition to the new Backroads Brent CD. Thanks to Scott MacLeod for supplying the excellent bass track. www.backroadsbrent.com Brent Lindsay Boehler Scott Macleod Brent & Woofy Brent & Woofy Radio Show Under a Star

bbshows Characters bid Bon Voyage to Backroads Brent

youtube link to video

Since 1993 I have been dressing up in costumes and performing music and comedy entertainment. Now that I am very close to starting my new adventure, driving a van across Canada, I wonder if I should hang on to these costumes or retire them. A friend suggested I take pictures and videos to have a digital record of the various outfits. So I did just that! In this video some of my costume characters bid Bon Voyage to Backroads Brent. Now the costumes and characters will retire. The question I get asked the most, "Is Woofy retiring?" The answer is in this video, near the end!

Born in the Middle

As the dark and gloomy days of winter start to give way to the buds and blossoms of spring 2020, I am wrapping up "The Adventures of Backroads Brent" CD. It's getting close to getting the journey started! Keeping in tradition of the travelling songs I wrote "Born in the Middle" as a reference to the fact that I was born in the middle of Canada and have never ventured East. But I'm a'gonna!
