Mirage Music

John MacPhee, a native of P.E.I., enlisted in the Canadian Army on January 14th, 1955. He went on to serve
for 3 years during which time he was based in Petawawa, Borden and Gagetown. John was with the
2nd Battalion Canadian Guards which primarily consisted of the Princess Patricia's who had just returnd from
the Korean War, along with many new recruits. John valued his time spent in the service and appreciated
the training he received. The Discipline and duty he learned has served him well through the years.
This song is John's tribute to the Canadian Soldiers in Afghanistan and around the world.

Paul Schram and Brad Howe have been friends and bandmates since High School. They have always
liked the BIG sound, lots of instruments, textures, harmonies, so of course, once they got a hold of the song and went
to work in Brad's studio, it turned into what you'll hear. Paul and Brad are very proud of the song and the
inspiration that was given to them by John. John was overwhelmed when he heard what Mirage had done
to his ditty from the fiddle.
