about

This song was written by Aaron Turford (The Groom) in 2007 at the House of Prayer on Erie Street in Stratford. He was borrowing my BR 600 digital 8-Track Recorder at the time. He recorded the song on it one night. He didn't tell me. A year later I was going through my flash cards and found the song. I thought one day I would get friends to finish the song so I could play it at his wedding. I summoned Aaron's close friends Nate Meidinger, Jesse Schultz, Kevin Swartwood, and Jayson Lichti to contribute to the song. John Hazen, former soundman for Harry Belafonte, now living in Stratford had the difficult task of mixing all the parts together. What he pulled off was a beautiful mix. I arranged to play the song at the wedding reception which Aaron's had no idea I was planning to do. When I played it, it was the first time in 5 years he had heard the song, but this time it was much more with classical guitar, electric guitar, bass and drums on it. Aaron stood intently listening and I witnessed tears stream down his face. It was a truly touching moment to share with one of my best friends. This is the result.
