Feelin’ Good

by Rick Lane

Rick likes to create playlists for different moods.

He calls this mix “Feel Good” but I think it’ll make you feel great!

Taking you from the 1960s to this century it’ll get you dancing, skanking, thrashing, discoing, and tapping your feet. Maybe even singing along (out loud or in your head, whatever you’re comfortable with).

Rick is my neighbour - we both live in Corktown, Toronto - and we first met through Therese, his wife. Therese is also the newest member of the Sparkplug team - yay for a growing coffee team!

I knew that Rick is a musician and was so happy when he agreed to make a playlist for us. Here are some other facts about Rick and his interests and influences:

I’m a member of a band called Parkdale Musicians Collective and we are, finally, back to doing gigs. Look us up on Facebook, if you’re in the GTA. I’ve also been working on producing music for the band, which has been exciting.

I’m a music and film buff and also enjoy the outdoors. I like running, biking and walking. Toronto has loads of amazing parks and trails with all kinds of plant and animal wildlife.

I’m original from Swansea, Wales but have lived in Toronto, Ontario, in Corktown for 20 years.

Feel Good Coffee

You’ll feel good when you have some Sparkplug Coffee to go with your tunes. Even better, join the Sparkplug Autopilot Coffee Club. Get coffee on your terms - pick your coffee style, pick your frequency, we’ll roast & deliver. Sweet!

The Lanes - Rick and Therese - love all Sparkplug coffees, especially the medium-dark roast Special Blast and the variety of seasonal coffees. Which coffee will you pick? What’s your coffee style?
