There Will Always Be A Small Time

This song is by a songwriter living in Guelph, Ontario, who doesn't play out anymore, but whose songs I believe in so much that I made a vow, when I started making Corin Raymond albums, that I'd include a Doug Norquay song on every album I made. So far I'm three for three, and this is the Norquay song on my live album Paper Nickels. Paper Nickels is a double album, recorded live, the packaging of which includes a 144-page full-colour book which tells the stories of where I found these songs and who the writers are.

Cruel Cruel Town (by Doug Norquay) sung by Corin Raymond

Kelly Levasseur passed away at his home in Hamilton on May 5, 2016 at the age of 41 years after a painful and protracted battle with undiagnosed mental illness. Born on August 8, 1974 to Leon (deceased) and Eileen Levasseur in Winnipeg MB. His family moved to North Bay ON in 1981, where Kelly attended SJSH, and graduated from Widdifield SS. He was deeply involved in theatre and music throughout his youth, winning acting awards and playing in bands, all the while developing his skills as a talented chef. From a young age he had a huge affinity for cats, chess and the great outdoors. He attended Concordia University before moving to Vancouver, before returning home to North Bay to care for his elderly father. He was a fiercely intelligent and keenly sensitive soul who will always be remembered for his stoic courage, loyal friendship, astute observations and wry wit. Kelly will be deeply mourned, as he was truly cherished, by his surviving mother Eileen, his only sister Treasa (Geoff), his niece Emma, his trusted companion Marmaduke, and his extended family, as well as the many souls he touched along the path of his life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Kelly's name to the Canadian Mental Health Association. A memorial service will take place at Liuna Gardens in Stoney Creek ON, on Saturday May 14 at 2pm. Please feel free to post photos of Kelly here and we will share them at the service.

Ol' Fort Mac is the first track on Side A/Set 1 of Paper Nickels. It's by Rob Vaarmeyer of Winnipeg, MB. Mark my word, this will be a campfire staple in this country before any of us are much older. Paper Nickels was released in Toronto at The Tranzac on January 22nd/23rd, 2013, and features songs by 16 different writers who are my contemporaries. Rob Vaarmeyer has three songs on the album.
