Information/Write-up

Randy and I were married in 1972 and worked as a duo touring western Canada for 10 years. After five years on the road we started playing mostly in Edmonton and really wanted to record something. Jack Hennig was a friend and we liked his tune 'Maybe Tonight' - so we decided to record it as the single and go all in and record the album.

For a little personal history Randy and I met right out of high school - I wanted to be in a group and he was doing a single at the time. So we joined up - and called ourselves " Just Friends"

My mom was a professional singer - June Whalen - and she sang with Tommy Banks on his TV show - Somewhere There's Music in 1963 and also sang in clubs around town from 1963-1971 - The Embers - Shasta - etc. She was one of the first "chic" singers in the city.

I loved singing and after Randy and I were divorced in 1982 I did a lot of Klondike shows around town during Klondike Days - and when I was approached to audition for Klondike Kate I was chosen as the first "local" Klondike Kate and then won it again and so was the first local Kate to do two years - 1986 and 1987. I sang at the Grey Cups, Stanley Cups and numerous telethons and TV appearances and travelled representing the city - it was a great two years.

I had great musicians work on this album. I was fortunate enough to have Charlie Austin on keyboard who worked and travelled with me the two weeks of K Days and we still work together occasionally. Tom Doran is still around town and we ran into each other when we were out to hear Malory Chipman - Tommy Bank's granddaughter sing just last week!

I remarried in 1988 to Dr. Henry Janzen, Psychologist and co-host of the CJCA talk radio show "That's Living" which ran for 9 years.

I don't sing professionally anymore, but did do a Christmas album and worked with Marc Atkinson on Honrby Island three years back to do another album. Just because. I miss singing so sing at seniors homes and hospitals when I can.
