A honest conversation about a song from the heart...
Nov 23rd Stampede City Sessions/Unknown Legend/You And I Will Never End
A friend once told me of a quote that went something like this ‘success is uphill, both ways’. Mull that over and I’m left with, nothing good ever comes easy.
So on this episode - the eighth one so far - I decided to get really honest.
As I attempt to find a way to connect with The Record Club on a more personal and valuable way, I’m learning that it’s all about me opening up to you, first.
So go easy on me, eh! I’m still working on it…
The very last track on ‘A Way Through Time’ is called ‘You and I Will Never End’. I struggled for a long while working through what I wanted to say- and needed to say with the tune. Every time I picked up my guitar the idea was staring me in the face. I could see, I understood what I was trying to do but the lyrics were stubborn, they just didn’t wanna get done. Jay Stewart and I ended up recording the vocals multiple times because of this. I enlisted Jay, Jeremy Friesen, Ryan McAllister and along with my sister Janelle to try and help me. Finally, on the very last session of the album, I was able to sing it with the conviction I so longed for.
The day we tracked the lyrics were the last moments I would ever have with Jer. As long as my brain will let me, I’ll remember the hug he gave me as he left.
So listen to Episode 8 and hear why I wrote the song, who it was for and why getting these lyrics right was so important.

NOV 23rd - Stampede City Sessions
We’ve got a really exciting show happening here in Calgary on Nov 23rd. It’s at Webber Academy and will be filmed for the 10th Season of ‘Stampede City Sessions’.
I’m soooooo exited to capture the show that Jimmy, Brock, Maddison and I built this year. We played so many fun shows and feel like we have something special to offer.
If you can’t make the show, it will air on KSPS/PBS Spokane right before AUSTIN CITY LIMITS on Saturday nights sometime in near the future. I’ll keep ya posted on the air date.
I’ve even seen a cool couple photos of this long haired, red head up around town…
