My neighbourhood was the Beach area of Toronto for over 20 years. People who’ve lost loved ones sometimes dedicate city benches to them, and so it was with Cecil’s Bench, where I wrote many a tune on it while watching the crowds go by.
My buddy Nelson Milley and I played this off the top of our heads pretty much as you hear it, into a reel-to-reel recorder (remember those?). How musicians gel with each other is a mystery, but it’s rare, and when it happens it’s very cool.
A demo I knocked off around 1999, I rediscovered going through tape transfers for this album. I wanted to try my hand at scoring so I did five string parts and assorted extras to fill it out. The LSO will have to wait.
