The People & Music of Southern Alberta & Beyond
Seeing as how it is Mother’s Day today, at least here in Canada, I thought I would publish this song by a very talented lady by the name of Lena Mars. This is a song I produced, recorded, played guitar on and I think, did a bit of background vocal.
At this point in many of our lives, we have lost our mothers to time. So, this song is for all of you who miss your mom, but still feel her with you every day.
Happy Mother’s day to all mothers out there, even if you are no longer with us.
Here is another song by Andrew Meyerhoff and myself, again with the wonderful Frankie Hart on backup vocals.
This is a song Rayburn Blake and I recorded for a client in Japan. Actually, he was from Canada but lives in Japan. He would basically send us a rough sketch of music & lyrics and we would piece it together and flesh it out. This is one of those tracks, beautifully performed by Frankie Hart.
My friend Peter Archer, was a big talent in the rough. I miss him for sure.
There were a series of tracks we recorded late night over several weeks at Southern Sound, with some of the best Lethbridge had to offer at the time. However, memory fails me to some degree. I know Robbie Berday (one of my all time favorite drummers) played on them, Jim Williams, perhaps Russ Hauser on piano, maybe even Brad Valgardson on drums (also one of my favorites). If anyone remembers who was involved in these sessions (maybe it was a sign of the times :-)) please let me know.
On this particular track, I know Vern Dorge, a Lethbridge boy who was with Blood Sweat & Tears at the time played tenor sax on this cut. He rocks!
