Dance Beneath the Moon

ONLY AVAILABLE ON CASSETTE

 

Cathy Miller's third recording (1991) was produced after Cathy moved from Ottawa to Calgary. Produced by (then) CBC producer Les Siemieniuk, it features songs about people: the homeless, the disenfranchised, the abused. The title track is a beautiful "beginning love" song, and has been sung at more than one wedding (including Cathy's). Other songs include: "Living in the Martinique" (written after reading Johnathan Kozol's "Rebecca and Her Children") , "I Had A House" (also written about the Kozol book), "Desert Dancing" (flies and sand and sun, and the importance of rain), "Empty in the Sunrise" (Boy meets girl. Girl falls in love. Boy gets on Greyhound bus and goes far away), "No Point of View" (an attempt to describe how it feels to be trapped in an abusive marriage), "Indian Summer" (dedicated to the Lonefighters of southern Alberta).

"Cathy has a hauntingly rich voice
which compliments and gives soul to the songs she sings,
wonderful record!"

WTSR Peter Kernast, Trenton, NJ.

"[She has] a way with words that's articulate, thoughtful, poetic
and at the same time, precise and economic.
I like that in a writer."

John O'Reagan, Limerick, Ireland
