Nice Job!

Charlie,

This is the first time I`ve taken notes while reading a book - so a big nod to the author as the inspiration for turning the story into a song.
Glad you enjoyed!

Tom,
I appreciate this.After finishing the song I thought it too traditionally folk to post on the forum, forgetting what a diverse group of musical tastes are represented here every day.

Alan & Di,
Thank you!
There are so many unsung true stories...makes me wonder why I spend so much time writing fictional ones.

Many thanks, Torrey .
I couldn`t find actual Inuit percussion samples, but the Bhodran & Irish ankle bells at least got me close.

Back for another listen. Janice said the imagery was so good that she had a movie going in her head and now wants to read the book. She also mentioned the jingly bells and how the reminded her of a sled, dogs, etc.

Amazing write.

J&B,
Thanks for dropping by and listening again!
The book is well written - its also about the pursuit of the culprits across the arctic and strangely Canadian trial ( the priest`s killers became the object of great public interest and sympathy and though convicted, never went to prison).

This immediately reminded me of John Prine.

Good job on this folk style.

Comments: I'd hold back on the flute during vocals. It's rather loud and distracts from the lyrics.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Thanks for the listen and comments.
I agree about the whistle levels and have dropped them back behind vocal parts.
Cheers,

Robert
