Life in Toronto throughout the late 70s and early 80s brought me in touch with many new friends and associations from across a wide musical spectrum. One of those musicians was multi-talented Bruce Nasmith who I had met when I was managing a little guitar shop on Yonge Street in North Toronto called Boddington Music. Bruce was working in a duo back then with another talented musician named Guy Zerafa who sadly passed away in 2014.

I liked their music and invited them to play a set in my shop some Saturday morning and we’d promote it to my local customers. They agreed and their in-store gig was a big hit with everyone. Over the three years I managed Boddington Music I developed great relationships with many talented musicians and Bruce Nasmith was an artist of the highest degree. When recording of my first album THE COMFORT SOUND SESSIONS was underway, I needed an organ player for a couple of tracks. Bruce was a pro organist, so I asked him to play on our sessions. He agreed and he even played fiddle on one song. So, in the spirit of Christmas, I simply want to share, with all with ears to hear, the wonderfully talented Bruce Nasmith  with his composition “December” from “The Twelve Months” by Bruce Nasmith. It is beautiful and a gift deserving to be heard. Merry Christmas, Bruce.

Merry Christmas to one and all. – Frank Trainor
