OCTOBER 2007 Dharma Records Reissues “The Wounderer” In honor of our
famous Michigan Deer Season Dharma Records will reissue a past release of
the Pat Campbell masterpiece “The Wounderer”. Originally released 10 years
ago on cassette, this 2008 deer season will host the return of the Pat Campbell
single on CD. You can order online or call us here at Dharma Records. 989-344-1228.
The release of “The Wounderer “, in the early nineties,
made light to one of the production techniques of Allen Bondar. This technique
is trying to clone the sound as close to the original band track (in this
case “The Wanderer” by Dion) but having all the sound qualities that today’s
digital techniques offer. The song was well received by Michigan radio and
got a lot of airplay. The biggest surprise was actually getting airplay
on Detroit radio. It was certain to get airplay in Northern Michigan where
the majority of deer hunters venture, but even the Motor City loved “The
Wounderer”. The recording was heard by The Reflections (Just Like Romeo
And Juliet). Hearing the production of “The Wounderer” led them to believe
that Allen could help them capture the magic that made their big hit song
come to life years ago. Al was commissioned by the Reflections to work with
Marshall Block and recreate the Detroit city smash hit “Just Like Romeo
And Juliet”. The joint production between Dharma Records and Reel to Real
Productions proved very successful and the song came out great. The (now
a few years older) Reflections sang better than ever. That particular track
can be heard on the new Reflections EP.
I would like to take this opportunity to make a very special thank you to everyone that made my summer season at Kenyon’s so extremely fabulous. I can honestly say that when a musician / entertainer is treated so well by the audience as well as the staff and owners he can only look back on a long career in the music business and say…. WOW… I am truly successful. In my past I have played with some huge names, I have played at some places that a musician might only dream of performing and I have been blessed with many opportunities that have made me feel grateful that I made the decision to make music, and the music industry, my LIFE. Believe me, I would not encourage anyone to be in this business because of its nature that eats people and in many cases can make an artist want to cut off an ear. Wanting to please people is a part of an artists art. It is something that seems to come hand in hand with being creative (in most cases). I guess it is a good barometer for success. Many times it is difficult to experience the kind of acceptance needed for a professional musician / entertainer / songwriter to keep on keepin on. This late in my career I can only say that I am BLESSED beyond satisfaction to be able to drive to my gig knowing that I am going to have an audience that supports my foolish ideas ... Like … making a living playing MUSIC !!! I thank you Barb and Jim for helping me to make the transition from the stage Allen Bondar to the Piano Bar Allen Bondar. Never thought it could be done !!! Looking forward to the 2008 season at Kenyon’s Hideaway. Could it even … get BETTER ???
