Thank You All Very Much
So many folks have given support to the project that it is nigh on impossible to thank them all. This is our best effort to do this and we apologize profusely to anyone we’ve missed.
Without the continuous support of the ArtSea Community Arts Council Saanich Songs would not exist. This organization has offered tremendous support not only in terms of funding to get us going, but also in helping to promote the project in its various publications.
The Sidney Acoustic Jam has made a most generous donation to this project. The Sidney Acoustic Jam welcomes players and singers of all levels to have fun making music together. We meet on Wednesday evenings at the Shoal Centre in Sidney. For more information: sidneyjam@shaw.ca or fwwatson@telus.net.
Malcolm Green (www.greenbear.ca ) has been our steadfast “web guy” for several years now, including his great work on both the song writing project and realizing Saanich Songs. We recommend him to you most highly if you have web needs.
The Acoustic Guitar (mike@acousticguitar.net ) has, over the years, offered steadfast support of Deep Cove Folk. We thank Michael MacLeod for his backing.
Many individuals, some asking to remain anonymous, have given generously to help us get this project underway. We especially thank Don Chambers for his generous donation.
All of the song writers who dedicated their time to create these songs, the judges of the original song writing project, and the performers who have realized them are gratefully thanked. These include: Robert Anderson, Dale Baglo, Barry Bowman, Don Chambers, Daniel Cook, Edie Daponte, Casey Edge, Sam Gardiner, Wendy McBride, Kathy Miller, Duncan Meiklejohn, Bryon Thompson, Valdy, David Wilkie.
Saanich Songs would not exist were it not for the many volunteers who have kept Deep Cove Folk going over the years. It’s impossible to include everyone from over the last 35 years but the following people have been integral to the recent success of the Club: Farrell Boyce, Penny Boyce, JoAnne Davis, Bob DeWolff, Don Gowan, Tark Hamilton, Alana Jones, Fiona McGinn, Mike McLeod, Gay Miller, Carolyn Nordin, Rick Nordin, Patty Rogers, Tim Rogers, Brian Rowe, Brian Schofield, Nicky Tutty. And we’d remiss if we didn’t include Jill King, the driving force behind the creation of Deep Cove at the very beginning. Thank you all.
And the whole enterprise would founder were it not for the thousands of folks who have come out to our various activities over the years. We only hope that what we’re able to offer you enough thanks for your amazing support over the last 35 years. Merci beaucoup.
Thank you all—so very, very much.
