Wayne MacDonald: Singer - song writer - guitarist -  Paraplegic

 

 

 

My name is Wayne MacDonald. I have played guitar since I was twelve years old. Back then I would pull a string off my guitar to get out of the pain of practice. Get back outside to play with my friends. My dad never did figure it out. I have been a binge player for most of my life. Since meeting my fiend Larry Melton back in 2001, my frequency has shot through the stratosphere. Larry is a talented and soulful singer/songwriter. His inspiration has lead me into a new realm of musical being. I am primarily an acoustic player. I just purchased a limited edition Larrivee. It plays like a dream!

I love and play anything from Cat Stevens to Led Zep, Eagles, Gordon Lightfoot, Coldplay to Snow Patrol.

 

The Halton Hills Chapter of the The Spinal Cord Society was founded in 2001 by Wayne MacDonald.

Wayne was rendered a paraplegic after falling fourteen feet from a roof while performing his duties as a refrigeration journeyman. Wayne has succeeded in raising awareness and cure research funds to the tune of $200,000.00 since the chapter's inception. Join Wayne and many others to help make the statement "not if, but when" sooner. The Spinal Cord Society has been actively working on cure research since 1978. They have a clear and strong mandate to see it through until the answer is found.

Sincerely
Wayne MacDonald

I have been writing recently and recording at my good friend Sal's. He owns and runs Erinwood Studio.

This song I wrote for the love of the rest of my life:
It is called "ALL I WANT" Because she truly is all I will ever want, now and forever.

All I Want
Written and recorded by Wayne MacDonald

So here I am alone tonight
Feeling sad but I make it bright
Searching for your eyes among the stars

A message sent, a thought received
A simple life for you and me
Knowing that we’ll be just who we are

Chorus

All I want to do is stay
In your arms each night and day
And show you all that I can be

To live inside your heart and soul
Breathe your world and all you know
To believe in what you see of me

Let's sit up high and look below
At our garden we will sew
The soil rich in love and history

And even when your not here
I need not live my life in fear
Knowing that you’ll never let me go

Chorus

All I want to do is stay
In your arms each night and day
And show you all that I can be


To live inside your heart and soul
Breathe your world and all you know
To believe in what you see of me

I spend each minute of my life
With my mind in endless flight
With our dreams, thoughts and memories

You’re my future here and now
We’ll make it through, we both know how
When destiny is what it’s meant to be

Chorus x2

All I want to do is stay
In your arms each night and day
And show you all that I can be

To live inside your heart and soul
Breathe your world and all you know
To believe in what you see of me

So I’ll never be alone at night...........
