Kalsey's story is so refreshing and special, I thought I would tell it in my own words. I know I have but little of your time, so I will try to make something I've learned over three years rather brief and to the point. 

The story really starts in a small town in Northern Canada, within the Saskatchewan Province. The town of Hudson Bay has a population of 1,500, and on July 23rd, 1990, one more female soul was added to that list. Hudson Bay is a beautiful town unto itself, but to this point has never really been known for bestowing its grace upon the rest of the world. However, on this day destiny would serve both Hudson Bay and popular music with fresh new songs and a crystal clear, melodic vision in which to express them. 

However, not all obstacles are so easily overcome by mere will. Such was the case in 2008, in Alberta, when a energetic young Kalsey learned of her diagnosis of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Six months of support from her family, intense treatment and tacky wigs led to complete remission (thank God) and a renewed clarity for song writing. 

You see, about 40 years ago, I met Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and knew immediately their music would have an impact on peoples lives someday. No one could've known that two years later, they would accomplish that in the band Fleetwood Mac. In the many years since, I have yearned for another artist that will have the same lifelong impact that both Stevie and Lindsey had. At the same time, I have dreamed of perhaps making one more record that would have the same kind of impact on the world. So rather than succumb to my increasing disability of loss of physical mobility, I surrendered to an 18 year old's desire to fulfill a crazy dream of being a seminal artist in this modern day and age when I really should be bloody retired. Kalsey agreed to start learning basic music fundamentals with me, many of which were taught to me by Lindsey Buckingham many years before.
