Our Songs Are Our Prayers - Minwashin Lodge fundraiser cd
This was the first project to be done in the Mach One Music Studios. Thirty four
women came through the studio over two weekends to record sixteen songs that had
been handed down through the generations of aboriginal song writers. The goal
was to create either a great hall sound or an outdoors atmosphere, which was
where these songs were originally performed.
It was a great experience for us to be a part of this project and an honour for John to be chosen as the engineer and producer. These women were mostly all amateurs and they did an amazing job through the recording process.
Minwashin Lodge would like to share two tracks from "Our Songs Are Our Prayers".

Royal Ottawa Hospital's Volunteer Association Comedy Night Fundraiser
It was an honour to be chosen to help out with the 3rd annual Royal Ottawa
Hospital's Volunteer Association Comedy Night Fundraiser. This event raises
funds for all the work the volunteers do in the area of mental health at the
hospital. Comedians from across the country come and participate in this show,
held every year at Ottawa's Centrepoint Theater.
This year, they wanted to do a musical intro plus slide show to introduce the lineup for the show. They requested a snappy, up tempo tune to get the show off to a high energy start. It took about 5 - 6 hours to compose the music and get it recorded and sync it up to the slide show. I played all the parts on this recording, except for the lead guitar, which my friend Geoff Johnson was brought in to perform.
Everybody was happy with the final result and it really seemed to get the crowd in the mood right off the start. Mach One Music looks forward to being a part of this again next year and has been requested to do just that!
Listen to a sample of the music (mp3 format).
