I love this. But it has a sort of double edge to it due to what happened behind the scenes. he obviously loved Tammy Tyrell. But unfortunaely it never came to fruition. such a sad story. Anyway on to the music

writen in respect to the great Jacques Cousteau. Love this. In fact I think John Denver is one of the best singers I have ever heared. Such a beautiful voice.

This is great. A bit of a change but great non the less. Im sure this is at the Edinburgh tatoo( Someone can maybe correct me) But either way still awsome to behold

Thanks Piper! I really enjoy the Live from Daryl's House series. Lots of great talent collaborating there. Regarding these two videos with the Goo Goo Dolls front man John Rzeznik, I always liked the songs Iris and Slide. John and Daryl sang and played well together. Both guys looked like they were having a good time. I never realized how deep the song Iris was until I really listened to it. Probably one of the better rock songs ever produced. Years ago when Hall and Oates were together their music was just okay for me. I didn't dislike it, but I was more into hard rock. Now I can appreciate what a great talent Daryl Hall is. How many musicians can host acts like that and play along with the artists that they invite and sound pretty darn good too.

In 2007, Schroer was diagnosed with leukemia, which proved to be untreatable. A tribute concert for Schroer was held on February 19, 2008 at Hugh's Room in Toronto. It featured the Twisted String Project, seventeen kids, aged 9 through 18, led by two of Oliver's students. They raised the money through private donations to fly to Toronto from the B.C. coast, just so they could take part in the concerts. CBC Radio 2 recorded the concert, which aired on Canada Live on April 7, 2008.
Schroer's last concert was performed on June 5, 2008. In a letter to his fans on April 30 when he first announced his intention to do this concert, he called it "Olivers Last Concert on his Tour of this Planet". He asked that his sold-out audience clap, not cry, and apologized for not being his normal glad-handing self; the risk of infection from personal contact would have been much too great. The subsequent Globe and Mail review called Schroer, an investigative fiddler.
During his final illness, Schroer said of his compositions, "I used to write a lot of jigs, reels and waltzes - as a matter of fact I still do. But over the years new kinds of melodies emerged - more rarefied, harder to pin down. There were prayers, incantations, whimsies, melismas, mysteriosos, heisenbergs, fractal reels, forest blues, blessings.... They are not so much entertainment tunes, but music that expresses other important things about my relationship to life. This music is, dare I say, more spiritual."
Schroer composed his final piece of music, Poise, on July 2, 2008. He died the following morning as a result of his leukemia. His last words were, "Well, I guess no excursions today
