New CD coming along!
I'm sitting in the lobby of Homestead Recorders in Edmonton, waiting to go in and listen to the mix of a song from the upcoming CD, working title "Piece By Piece: The Songs", inspired by the stories of women who worked at the GWG clothing factory in Edmonton over its 93-year history. The factory closed in 2004 and the work was shipped elsewhere, like so many of our Canadian manufacturing industries. The workplace was razed to the ground a few years ago but the stories of this community of women live on and have much to teach us about ourselves as Canadians.
I'm working once again with talented producer, violinist and Juno Award Winner, Shannon Johnson (http://www.themcdades.com) and engineer Jerry Woolsey.
