This site is written by Jody and Phillip Cairns originating from New Brunswick and Newfoundland, Canada.
The site’s name
Steel White Table refers to a song my brother and I spontaneously wrote in 1990. We were sitting at our dining room (and living room and bedroom – the only room in the apartment) table, which was an antique white acrylic, steel table. Phillip writes about the song:
I’ve listened to this recording a billion times since it was recorded in January of 1990 in our basement apartment (if you can call that closet the two of us lived in an apartment) in Cote St. Luc, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal. Jody plays the harmonics and the nice chords. I’m playing a 12-string guitar with 3 strings missing: the twangy, harsh and out-of-tune part that kind of goes dink-dink-dink-dink in a sort of backwards scale kinda thing. That’s me. The stuff that sounds nice is Jody.
He’s being modest.
“No, I’m not,” says Phillip, whose little corner of Steel White Table is called Phillip’s Room.

I was searching Ifilm.com and watched your video on making cauliflower popcorn with your daughter. The video brightend up my stressfull day. Your video portrayed the joy you have with your daughter and your daughter’s happiness with you. I sometimes forget those joys in life. I dont have a daughter myslef, but I do have brothers, friends and family. I forget what it feels like to spend time with them. I guess I take that for granted. So, Thank you for sharing the video with the world.
Also, where did you come up with the idea of cauliflower popcorn? Is it any good?

Wow. That was nice. Thanks, Liz.
The idea for the video is included in its original post. And no, cauliflower popcorn ain’t THAT good; I won’t be making it again.
Nice blog, Jody! Anyone who says nice things about house concerts is a friend of mine.
Best,
Fran Snyder
