FALL RIVER: <\/strong>If some of the staff at Joyful Sounds Music Studio look a little extra cheery eyed as the week ends, there\u2019s good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The studio, located in Fall River, had a whirlwind 48 hours where they were asked to perform and video their performance of “Strang and McNeil: The 2nd Wave’s Reel.\u201d<\/a> It\u2019s a fiddle tune penned by North Sydney\u2019s Brenda Stubbert and sent to Dr. Robert Strang, Chief Medical officer of health for N.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louise MacDonald, owner of Joyful Sounds, said it all started when Dr. Strang, who calls Fall River home, received an awesome t-shirt from Stubbert with a fiddle reel printed on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was at a loss for words when asked what it meant to be asked to perform the tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a complete honour,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was exciting. It was definitely a whirlwind to get the message from Dr. Strang, and to see the picture of the t-shirt with the fiddle reel on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe asked if we would do it and we didn\u2019t hesitate and said \u2018yes, let\u2019s do it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stubbert gave the permission for the fiddle reel to be performed and recorded, so MacDonald went to work to gather the musicians and cameras to get it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Strang and McNeil: The 2nd Wave’s Reel” was performed by: Brad Reid on the Fiddle; MacDonald on Piano; Alexander B. Macneil on Guitar; and Michael Arbou on the Cajon\/box drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said Dr. Strang has been so supportive in keeping the province safe and a community member of Fall River, so they were grateful he thought of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor him to think of us to do the tune, it\u2019s a real honour,\u201d said MacDonald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacDonald said the studio is pleased to be creating music even as the COVID19 pandemic occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will continue to make music, even through a pandemic,\u201d said MacDonald. \u201cWe feel so incredibly fortunate to live in a province where our leadership is doing all they can to keep us safe and where our fellow Nova Scotians all do their part during this second wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also very grateful to live in a province that is filled with music and where music connects us all in times of uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
