Liner Notes: Revealing Chats With Canada's Retro Music Makers

Real, Raw, Relevant...Canadian Music Makers from the 1960s-1990s share it all...song creation, the highs (and lows) of the biz, fans, family, what they're up to now and a life lesson or two learned along the way. Here's your 'fly on the wall' moment, a chance to catch revealing insights into the person behind the music in a casual, laid back manner. Also, the audio quality sometimes gets rough around the edges. Nothing over produced here. Just real, raw engaging talk. .
