One year after releasing his Polaris Prize long-listed The Apostate (his first full-length original album in two decades), Canadian music legend Art Bergmann returns May 12 with Remember Her Name, a newly remastered edition of his classic 1991 self-titled album.
Originally released by Polygram on CD/cassette and long out-of-print, (weewerk) Recordings’ Remember Her Name revisits one of Bergmann’s career peaks, featuring the radio hits “If She Could Sing,” “Faithlessly Yours” and “Message From Paul.” A fresh remaster was done by Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel Mastering, with the addition of the previously unreleased track “Wide On/Hard Body.” (Remember Her Name will be available on vinyl through Paper Bag Records’ Vintage reissue series.)
In re-titling the album after the lead-off track, Bergmann highlights the song’s lyrical tribute to Marianne Faithfull. “Remember Her Name” (the song) was originally supposed to be called “Marianne Faithfull,” but Bergmann’s label at the time forced the change due to legal concerns. This new edition also features updated artwork, with images captured by photographers Sharon Steele and Lisa MacIntosh.
Art Bergmann on Remember Her Name:
“This re-release holds a great depth of meaning for me as it comes 25 years after I met and married Sherri at the same time as writing and recording the thing. She is definitely a muse to some of these tracks, ‘Ruin My Life,’ ‘Faithlessly Yours’ and to the whole endeavour, really. She is my conscience to this day.”
Good morning!
Good morning!

It the day after the time change here. I’m still waking up (ha,ha)
The clocks in the UK don’t go forward until the the night of the 25th
Hello all!
Time change here in Sask means things like tv and radio shows are on at a different time and we have to adjust.
I like Art Bergman. Thanks Garf.
My morning was made a little brighter when I happened on Patrick Watson on a live FB feed. He is such an amazing talent. At one point he was doing his improv thing where he gets people to yell out words and he makes up a song on the spot. Amazes me.

I liked the Art Bergman as well.
Rose Cousins was delightful on Saturday night. Her music may be a little dark but she balanced it out with making us laugh in between songs. Her band was very good as well. Erin Costello is on tour with her and I am pretty sure I was voting for her in Searchlight last year. Powerful vocals from that lady. Her and local talent Belle Plaine were called up to sing with Rose on a song called Grace. I like when artists do that kind of thing.
Does anyone have plans for Pi day tomorrow?
I had pie yesterday but I could have some more.
The closest I have been to having any pie recently was the apple strudel I ate yesterday
No real plans, but I do have an apply pie in my freezer that I could break out.
Apply? Like a fake apple one? hehe
It’s actually just a heat pack but it’s pie scented
lol! I really need to read before hitting enter! Though I doubt there’s any real apple in the pie!
I thought it was possible you were talking about one of those “apple” pies made with crackers.
And you “apply” it. Haha Garf!
Sleep Monday.
