I didn't contribute a great deal to this song ... mainly the chord progression that supports the bridge and the guitar solo.  Still, I enjoyed the time I spent with Default, and I came away with a great deal of respect for the band's work ethic, their camaraderie, and their dedication to making music.

As a member of the board of directors of SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers of Canada), one of my more pleasurable duties is presenting awards to Canadian songwriters like Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Swollen Members and others.

I presented a "SOCAN Number One Award" to Default in 2002. A small reception followed the presentation, and at one point someone suggested we try writing together.  It finally happened in February 2003.

Ironcially, a year later I was the recipient of my own "SOCAN Number One Award" for my contribution to "Taking My Life Away".
