I formed "Gawne, Ryan and Ward" with Jim Gawne and Mike Ward early in 1980. We were friends and fellow Baha'is living in Kelowna BC, Canada at the time. We disbanded in 1983, but in the three years we were together, we played consistently throughout southern BC. The band never entered a recording studio but recorded a few coffeehouse performances onto cassttee, and the songs above are examples from those recordings. The ones in this collection are from those that I wrote.
