Not Whitehorse, as in Canada's Yukon Territory, but another 'White Horse'.

MH is yet another song-writer with a unique voice that ends up being more or less an identifiable trademark of sorts. Not unlike Kris Kristofferson.

A sense of humor, to boot. He's also taken part in supporting and playing for a fund-raiser for the homeless in North Carolina for a few years now, too.

Got turned onto him when I ran into a member of a band who's a guitarist I've known locally for many years when I was in the liquor store the other evening.

I let the guitarist know that I'd also posted some of his current band's stuff here at ICMag, as well. He was thankful for the exposure.

The band the guitarist is a member of. One of their CDs they spent a lot of time and money producing in the studio, and it sounds like it.. A favorite tune off that album. Local band categorized as 'rock-a-billy, but often something more unique than that.

Keyboards were dubbed in from afar on this CD by a former Fairbanksan living in Oregon, who was a Dead Head acquaintance who once tried out for the then-vacant keyboard spot with the Dead, using a Hammond B-3 for the try-out. He's the fellow I wrote about having a 1,000,000-point cribbage game going with the fellow who died tragically up in the Brooks Range in November or December of 1981. (*See Hammer's mass shooting thread).

Drummer on this album is a former boiler engineer at University of Alaska-Fairbanks, who also played with a 3-piece band called, 'Gangly Moose'. Last I heard he was in the Mid-West Lower-48. Very nice and talented fellow. Gangly Moose helped play for our fund-raisers for legalization in 2000 and 2004.

At least 2 of the members during this CD's making were/are local school teachers, including Steve Brown. As a result they were reluctant to play for the legalization gigs.

The fellow on steel slide (and mandolin on other CDs/tunes) is an older, long-time Fairbanksan who's a very accomplished musician locally..

These days they have a bass player who's an incredibly wonderful woman, one of those persons who glows, who also teaches bass and banjo, as well as being a part of the recording studio where this CD was recorded.
