Islands of Song

Niall sang a song called "The Long Weekend." He introduced it by saying it was a song about meeting up with friends who had moved away and spend a weekend together. They leave as friends but something's changed and things won't be the same again.

Alan, the band's bassist, joined him on the melodica (it's a cool instrument) while Darrell joined the band to play bass.

Colleen sent a song out to Roger "who came over with me." It was Lucky You Are from her CD of the same name. It's good - Get it. And I'll say it again - Colleen has one of the happiest voices I've heard.

Darrell and the gang sang a song, "Old Friend," about a stranger in a foreign town killing time. Could have been any day in the life for Darrell while he was a member of GBS.

Clare did a song called "I'll Be Here" sung in a clear strong voice. She probably wouldn't have needed that mic if the show wasn't being recorded. Can't wait for her to finally have a CD out. I'll make sure to tell you when she does! She's a musician to watch, that's for sure!

Niall sang about "Spring making its appearance after a dreary winter bus ride." Called "Last Page of Winter."

Colleen did one of my favorites of hers, called "I'm Not Leaving." She had explained in the Songwriters' Circle in Sydney, Cape Breton, that it was written when she was moving between Cape Breton and Newfoundland.
