I’ve always been a fan of Curtis Irving Johnson’s hockey paintings.
Whenever I look at his work, I’m transported back to my youth.
Instantly.
I could live in his paintings.
Forever.
I wrote the song “More Than A Game” in McKellar, Ontario, back in the summer of 2008, at Camp Manitou on Lake Manitouwabing.
As I was writing it,
I knew that not only did I have a cool little song about hockey,
I also had a cool little idea for a kids book about hockey.
I just needed someone who could bring the lyrics to life.
Hmmmmmm…
A couple years ago I ran into Curtis at Canadian Tire.
I hadn’t seen him in probably 20 years.
We swapped numbers.
A couple days later, we went for a beer.
“Hey man, I’ve got an idea for a kids book about hockey…”
