hard times
It started on Twitter. I was out for a walk, looked at my phone and saw a tweet from singer songwriter Stephen Fearing. He was consoling somebody who lost a loved one. “Sorry for your loss, “ he tweeted. “these are, indeed, hard times.” I texted Stephen. “You should round up some friends and record Stephen Foster’s Hard Times Come Again No More for charity. I have a friend who will produce a video for you.” Stephen texted back. “I’ve been thinking about doing something to help the Canadian music community,” A few months later, following many emails and file shares, here’s the result: Hard Times.
