Tony's debut CD, A Matter of Time, was produced by Ian Tamblyn in 2002. The disc is a rootsy mix of tunes that are dramatic, tranquil and amusing in turn. Many songs illuminate the hidden strength of ordinary working people --- farmers, mothers, and railroad workers. Some very Canadian themes are found here such as the pleasure of wild places, rural people, trains, Kingston Penitentiary and 1940's Montreal.
