The Legacy CD
The Legacy CD, more than a year in the planning, was recorded at a spectacular event at the McNally Auditorium, Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Dec. 1, 2007. Twenty-three Survivors, family members, and an audience of five hundred+ were treated to an evening in honour, in remembrance of, the 1917 Halifax Explosion, and its continuing Legacy. The tone of the evening was set by the arrival of the Survivors piped in by the 78th Highlanders Pipes and Drums, directed by Col. John Cody, and the Vice Regal salute by the sixty-five-member Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra.

Notes from David Cadogan
David Cadogan is the former editor of the Miramichi Leader - now in private consulting.
"As usual, your clear, sweet voice singing loving, wistful songs is entrancing. Connie and Paul and Frankie McKibbon stand out... Paul and Frankie have strong, lusty voices... I've said often that no one does Stan Rogers better than Paul. He has the voice and the attitude for it. Frankie is superb on 'The Lumberman's Alphabet' and 'Miramichi Men.' ... the songs you wrote... have a tone in common that expresses your tender love for the Miramichi. The Gillis family have beautiful voices... simple, compelling, clarity... W.O. Mitchell said once 'The arts are not a luxury. They are how we know we are not alone.' Your songs communicate directly to my soul."

Hope
Melanie's final collaboration with Kanon Recording offers a ten track selection of classical, spiritual and popular songs including Ave Maria, Amazing Grace, Panis Angelieus, Nature's Concorde, and Morning Prayer. On this CD Melanie demonstrates her exceptional tonal range and quality. A great addition to any collection.
