This story emerged in the wee hours of January when sleep was not available due to my having broken my ribs. I plugged in the earphones and wandered through whatever the YouTube AI put in front of me, and then boom I was struck by one song.

The time was 3.16 am, and Christians all know 3.16, and the video was from a Blue Rodeo live concert dated August 19th, 2019, at the Salmon Arms Roots and Blues Festival in Salmon Arm, British Columbia.

The Blue Rodeo song that caught my attention that morning was  One Light Left in Heaven. 

I listened to the song about 10 times and recalled the musical poetry project from Hillcrest High School and my grade 13 English teacher Joe Hubenig in 1978 and started to make some notes. Long story short, this is the result of those notes.

My sources for various characters originate from the staff that I have met over the months writing this book. I have in many cases used their real first names.

I acknowledge the patience of Steph, who put up with my jabber and promised to buy the first book. The City of Kemptville, the North Grenville area provided a ton of knowledge, and I enjoyed learning about all the places in the book I have yet to visit but know it will happen, such as Vancouver Island.

Of course, Kemptville Live Music Festival which has been part of my life since 2015 or so. Well run, amazing volunteers, and of course great people that I have met while I attended and then joined the volunteer crew.

The musician needs to focus on building the band's success and their climb to stardom while dealing with what he thinks initially as a groupie, who appears repeatedly in the places the perform and visit.

Beautiful locations from British Columbia to to Ontario, including the book climax at the popular Kemptville Live Music Festival.

As they climb the charts he quickly learns that , lLord behold a groupie she is not.
