ABOUT THE SONG:
I grew up surrounded by amazing Ottawa Valley country music artists. A lot of times I was performing along side them as a little girl step dancer (with my teachers Buster & Pauline Brown) at fairs or conventions. I soaked up their music, stage shows and encouragement. I am positive they would have no idea how strong their influence has been on me. Many of them passed away during the time I was at college or just starting my touring career and I never had a chance to properly express my thanks, or for them to see for themselves that I would try to carry
on with the music they loved, played and wrote. Each year at Christmas time, one of those musicians, Pete Lajoie, would host a party at his house for his friends and valley musicians, and even as a kid he would be kind enough to invite me. It would be a chance to get up on the stage to play back up fiddle WITH those country bands, and it was a dream come true. This tune is in memory of those parties, the people who were there, the hope and encouragement they gave me to follow my dreams, and most of all, the passion they shared for this music.
