Festival of Light liner notes
Engineered and Produced by Steve Macdonald
Recorded December 16-18, 2001 at Thin Ice
Studios
Steve Macdonald: Vocals, Guitars
Happy Holidays!! This is the first CD I've ever produced myself;
from recording and mastering to CD duplication- strictly at home.
As a first effort, it's far from perfect, but I hope you enjoy the
results. These are songs that have spoken to me spiritually this
year; or mark significant changes in my life- or in wone way or
another say '2001' to me.
I wish joy and safety for you and your loved ones in this coming
year.
Song Notes:
Babylon (Don McLean)
I always wanted to be able to do this!! And it's a lovely, lovely
song.
Light One Candle (Peter
Yarrow)
I've always loved this song; and it has added significance for me
since the events at Ground Zero.
Dark Is Rising
(Susan Cooper and Julia Ecklar)
Frodo lives!!! Though this isn't specifically a Tolkien song, the
themes match.
Day to Day (Stan
Rogers)
Winter theme, coupled with hard work and a strong desire to be elsewhere.
That's me, too often.
Summer (John Denver)
Summer follows winter. One of the happiest songs I know.
Green Hills of Harmony
(Hal Frank and Hamish Henderson)
I was inducted into the Dorsai Irregulars this year. This song also
has added significance from September.
Looking for Jack (Talis
Kimberley)
This song represents more things than I have space to write here...
sorry... Just enjoy.
*warm* (Steve
Macdonald)
It just felt kinda right to put this one here. I originally wasn't
going to put any original material on this CD; I couldn't quite
do it...
Festival of Light
(Tracy Lunquist)
A song for all faiths and all creeds this holiday season.
Happy Holidays!!!
