What better way to begin - and end - this task of presenting the
'released' material than with the song ON THE ROAD TO HAIDA GWAII
Arranged superbly well by WILD BISCUIT MUSIC the spoken word section sums
up for me so much of what is splendid and magical about Haida Gwaii It was uploaded to Bandcamp on January 4th 2016 and can be heard and downloaded free on there at https://sheilakcameron.bandcamp.com/track/on-the-road-to-haida-gwaii
The following four songs were the first I ever submitted for mastering
to Ca Va Every now and again I come across them - and whilst I cannot recall this latest encounter - I guess I must have decided to give them another try out there
For many years I
have wanted someone to give me a Frank Sinatra type backing for THIS IS NO WAY
TO SPEND AN EVENING And who knows it may yet happen The other three are old
repeats
Four songs -

The wish to use the WILD BISCUIT arrangement of TELL ME THAT NOW (aka LONELINESS)
was a recurring aspiration It was, as so much of their work is, just beautifully
right for the words
Unfortunately the recording I had initially provided for them to work
with had been distorted and it was only with a different recording in 2016 - and
the skill of Geoffrey Allan - that it became possible to combine them well
enough to be used in the above selection
This again is a gathering of songs which, with no particular
place to belong, were put together to aid the tidying up process And once that idea had taken
hold it was followed by the decision to have a WILD BISCUIT arrangement as both
the opening and closing tracks
Their arrangement for A PERFECT LANDING is also special not least in
that it landed as a surprise gift - and unsolicited - on my desk one day
I can recommend a listen - not because I wrote the words but for the
sounds they always bring to my material It can be heard on Bandcamp at https://sheilakcameron.bandcamp.com/album/tell-me-that-now

The Miscellaneous Six - EP Released 23rd March 2016
Another of those selections 'in a oner' which occasionally make an appearance and
which I do find difficult to ignore - but I have said all that before
