Andrew McSweeney & The Wishing Horse featuring the launch of song book, A Basket of Songs, written by illustrator/author Trace Balla and Andrew.
In some ways this is an accidental book! It certainly wasn’t the plan when Trace handed Andrew a basket made with natural materials with a rim made from synthetic string found up a tree. ‘Old ways, new ways, together strong,” she said. Andrew lit up and soon he wrote and performed “drawing pictures in the sand” a superb song about the time they camped with a group of friends by Dungala (Murray river) on Yorta Yorta Country. Trace was so taken by the song she sent him a poem to see if it might turn into a song.
Within minutes he had sent her back a spontaneous recording on his phone. And that’s how it went for the next few months, lyrics from Trace, music from Andrew. “You know it’s an endless well,” he said. Eventually they realised they had enough songs to make something of it. Andrew has a recording studio and Trace creates books.Between them they came up with this collaboration to send out to the world at this time when there is so much need to find a way back to a kinder way of living.
We hope these songs are sung at kitchen tables, round fires, on bicycles, in the shower, at schools, with choirs, on deathbeds, at funerals... anywhere that a song can be had.
