Chase the Wind

The album which Nick played guitar on is due for release next Wednesday, the 1st of November. The title track, “Chase the Wind”, was played at least ten times on radio today, and it’s the first time I’ve heard it – first time anyone’s heard it, actually. It’s excellent! Tammy has a beautiful voice, and the production quality is really good, all the instruments are nicely balanced and so on. At 4 pm there was a live radio interview with Tammy and the musicians (Nick included), so it’s really being pumped. All the excitement comes from this being the first locally recorded and produced CD, so it’s a history-maker. No other songs are being played on radio yet, because it’s being kept under lock and key at Jaspers (who is the only retailer of the CD, and who also sponsored it entirely), who will not allow even a snippet of another song to be played – they want people to buy it! I’m sure that it will sell well. It has a distinctive country feel to it, which the island loves.

We visited the old people again today. I stopped by Caroline and heard all about the ulcer on her ankle, onto which the nurses applied a white dressing and when they looked again it was green. Oh my. Then she told me again about how it was green. She was very worried about it, so I prayed for her, which she appreciated. The boys found a man in a wheelchair to talk to, and were delighted that he was pretending to be a baby, and talking like one, but I suspect this old gentleman had had a stroke which affected his speech!
