Liner notes
I guess when we listen to someone’s music we often wonder from whence it was inspired. Most of these songs were composed over a period of years in and around the Lake Louise area. To spend time in the mountains is to develop a feeling for them.

We can’t bring the breezes or the blue skies into the recording studio; the mountain-lake green or the flaming yellow of autumn larch trees. But we have brought in Jim’s music, and with that, part of the good times, romances and feelings that go with living in the mountains. Enjoy.
