It’s just come to light that Stew
Crookes was not credited for his magnificent pedal steel work on Between the Beautifuls. Stew’s playing
added incredible depth to the texture of the record -- Hawksley thinks Stew is
a real genius and would like it known that he feels badly for the accidental
omission of his name on the album credits. His contribution was greatly
appreciated.
UPDATE: Two more discoveries and apologies: Also
missing from the credits page are mention of Sammy Frenette’s guitar work on
‘piano blink’ and Jesse Zubot’s violin on ‘what would you say to me, lord?’.
Again, many apologies — Sammy and Jesse are both terrific players.

well i wake to snow this
morning.lovely.a white mist.i didn't see the autumn here.my body has been hither and scattered.cells catching resonance in airports in
tokyo, berlin, london, paris, st. john's, halifax and toronto.i have my first cold in a long time.i remember the last visits from
hummingbirds here.and the deer tracks in the garden where the last
parsnip tops were munched away.the partridges are back in the
trees.the trees are skeletons again. craggy and fingering toward the
sky, they make the fatted pheasants look so conspicuous against the
fading twilight.funny how the body is slow to arrive in new
places.the eyes tell lies till the body begins to believe in every new
surrounding.and even then the soul needs to believe in the
permanence of a room and bed and angle of light brushing against a city
skyline before it unfurls it's belongings.i really must glow about a day where mr.
lonely and i rode rented bicycles from akasaka
to asakusa.the loveliest, most respectful city streets i've ever
pedaled over.long alleyways tethered together with bundles of
cables held up by poles and knots. quiet and seemingly never
ending.cats and temples hidden in the wrinkles of a rebuilt city.sometimes i feel lost.when i sing i feel found.it feels like so long.i'm so pleased to have a new record to share.i made this record in the spring of this
year. while walking muddy bush trails
and planting seeds in newly tilled garden beds.over the last couple of years i have recorded
a number of records.this one speaks very clearly of a moment.a month of seeing snow melt away in warmer
days.of wearing rubber boots to town to buy nuts and fish.of the familiar sense of new hope when the
days get longer.of seeing rhubarb blossom and bright, green
moss defy the last stubborn patches of crusty,
granular snow.it's been a funny time lately.a time of great learning.and stumbling.of feeling strange polarities.knowing and wondering.living and forgetting. waking up with a tired soul and
relearning that which i didn't know i had to cling to with such
strength.even on a tiny planet it's amazing how often one can feel so
far away from home.it always makes sense to look in the unlikely
places.to listen carefully to the lulls.to save energy for discovering the little
bursts of magic that happen in the wake of what's
obvious.for those towering distractions, those glowing
watersheds, those obvious, clanging epochs, happen in between what is
truly beautiful.may we all serve the blessings of what is simple,
fragile and delicate.that which lives in the echoes of trumpet
blasts that leave seaward on the wind. let us believe in rest for weary
souls.and time to mend and nurture love.
