Robin McCurdy came to hear the Embro Thistle Singers and then asked us if we would sing his beautiful song, Shores of Isthmus Bay. Our Elaine Northmore wrote a 4 part harmony arrangement and away we went. Robin had it recorded along with 4 other of our songs and then re-engineered them all to get a great sound.
Through this time we got to meet Robin's wife, Marg, and she now adds her prodigious talents to our alto section. Together Robin and Marg have added immeasurably to our musical life.
Robin is having health challenges but keeps writing. His tunes are so singable and memorable. Here is his latest song "Oh Lord Hear My Prayer". I think you will agree that it is truly lovely. Thank you Robin for sharing your talent so generously. Your beautiful tunes will outlast us all.
Below are Robin's notes from YouTube.
ROBIN'S NOTES
The Nashville recording of Robin's gospel song is now essentially finished. Don't ask me why we did it in this style. I feel Tony Ray Jones and Kelly Nolf, did a fantastic job. I needed this at this point in my life. The wonderful Piano on this is played by Garland Craft from the Oak Ridge Boys Band and Jason Roller from the group 'Alabama'.-now being played on 94.3 FM Woodstock
