Performer(s)

Sam McGregor is our vocalist and Larry Magee produces our music. I write the lyrics shape the music and select the best singer for each song.

Description

About six months ago I committed our group to release a set of songs that were related to growth through love’s ups and downs and started framing various song sets that would fit into this work. We labeled our 4 corner stones of music for this set being Rock, Pop, Ballad & Americana. And Writing began. I find writing the title track to be challenging and usual write it near the end of the set of songs. For the song Corner Stones it all fell into place on a reflective fall day. I knew the type of music that would fit it and off we went. FYI, the 4 cornerstones in the song Corner Stones are Faith, Hope Charity & love.
