These are the few existing video clips of the late, Canadian Fourth Way Folksinger, Parker Dickson.

This performance was recorded only weeks before his ability to play guitar was gone, due to MS. In this dvd Parker encodes the teachings of EJ Gold into folksongs. His songs provide a vehicle for the expression of work ideas through music, bringing them into people's lives where other means may not be as effective or accessible. The beauty of Parker's music is that it opens the space for
heart based understanding, this understanding can not necessarily be gained through books or the spoken word.

Parker left an extraordinary legacy of Fourth Way, Sufi and New Thought songs. The Angel Songbook and Songs My Dead Mother Sang Me are still in print; he wrote songs with EJ Gold, Meg McDonnell, Menlo Macfarlane, Tom X and others, and was well known in Canadian music circles during the 60s and 70s.

A legendary tree planter, he worked for Dirk Brinkman as foreman.
