A song that is from where my musical roots lay.
Leahy is from Lakefield, Ont., & consists of 8 of 11 brothers & sisters from the Leahy family. They started playing musically in the 80's and apparently privately released LP's & cassettes (<-- & yes, I remember those things are - I'm not that young!), but their first major release was in 1996 - a self-titled LP from which they won 3 Canadian Juno Awards - for "Best Instrumental Group" & "Best New Group" in '97, then "Best Country Group or Duo" in '98. It was in '98 when Shania Twain invited them on a tour when they became internationally successful (it was a 2 year worldwide tour they were on…). They then released "Lakefield" (2001), "In All Things" (2004), then a live DVD filmed in Gatineau, Que. (2006), & "Handmade" in 2007 & they are still touring today. This song is from "Lakefield", released in 2001.
