Life is Good

The Omineca Wilderness Adventures Video Trailer.
A series of moments in the life of Omineca set to great song by Bob Egan. http://www.bobegan.com/
The video concept was by Geoff. Geoff, Jill and myself edited the video from stock in the Omineca Video Archives. At the start the music is a bit quiet. So, Crank it and enjoy.

THANKS BOB! - Bob Egan’s “Honest Night” and the Omineca Video Trailer.
Geoff and I had been talking about making a video. Something that captured the Omineca experience and used some of the great footage we’ve gathered over the years. But that’s as far as we got. Then one cold January night Geoff went to see Bob Egan play in Williams Lake BC. Promptly blown-away, at the show, Geoff bought Bob’s album “The Promise”. “The Promise” is a classic album, great songs in a wide range of styles. Bob is a master studio musician and songwriter. He has been a member of Wilco and now is the steel guitar player for Blue Rodeo.

When Geoff heard “Honest Night” from “The Promise” he knew it had to be the soundtrack for the Omineca Video we’d been planning. So Geoff presented his concept to Jill and I, then he got the “OK” from Bob Egan to use the song and it was all over but the shouting. It’s a classic song: elements of traditional, pop and rock & roll, spectacular writing, exquisite playing and production and an ecstatic, finger-pickin’ crescendo with guitars, mandolins and violins. One of the violin players on the track is Ashley MacIsaac’s sister, Lisa. Contact Bob.
