Who Is The Musician

?? WHO IS THE MUSICIAN ??

ARCHIE CAVANAUGH


I was born in Wrangell, Alaska and raised in an Alaska village called Kake a predominently Tlingit village of 700 people. My better half, Melinda is my co-lyricist and best friend. We have two grown children and 2 grandchildren with another on the way. My family are the best parts of my life.
When I was young, playing and making up music, I always admired famous musicians that influenced my life. But I never thought that I could ever attain their status as a musician, or even do an album.
This obstacle way of thinking was because I lived in a village that had mountains all around us, and I never could imagine that my abilities to accomplish a dream of an album could surpass those mountains.
Twenty seven years after the release of ‘Black and White Raven’ and still selling on the internet, I always wanted to record another albuml. I was never able to find another person to help me record or orchestrate the album until one day when my wife and I were walking our dogs on the wetlands in Juneau, Alaska we met a bass guitar musician friend of mine, Bill Ashby, who suggested that I get hold of Jeff Tassin, a three-time Emmy music producer, writer and performer.
I contacted him and we agreed that I would send him two songs to see how well he did with these productions. Needless to say when we received copies of his work it caused my wife and I to jump with excitement, dance and holler with joy at the accomplishment and compliment of his work. He nailed the emotion and feeling of the music as it should have been by his enormous musical talents and genius music production abilities.
