Hello there,

I'm new to this board, found you by 'accident' to be honest...but I'm glad I did. I've just finished reading a great review of a Richie Havens gig, on the board, from back in 2005:

..and one of the other artists mentioned on there was a Canadian guy called Bruce Murdoch. Richie had sung a great song of Bruce's during that gig, called 'Let's Lay Down Our Drum'

Well, I just wanted to tell anyone who may be interested, that Bruce has been away from the music scene for near on 30 years now, but returned to it in August this year, with a brand new CD called 'Matters of the Heart'. Many of the songs on there are the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard..and every single one of the 12 tracks is strong enough to stand on their own. I've only just found Bruce's music this year, through a music board called Mudcat, but I can see why Richie, even after all this time, is still singing his songs.

Anyway, thanks to Daragh Murray who wrote the review, as I really enjoyed reading it...and this is Bruce's myspace page, in case anyone is interested in hearing him now and reading his story.

A Happy, Peaceful and Loving New Year to you all.
