Roy Salmond is an award-winning music producer and the writer of Between the Notes, a weekly reflection on the wonder, heartache, and hope that finds us all as we journey through the days we have been given. The collection of his musings in this volume orbit around the theme of ART. I love Between the Notes―because its like a little gem that needs to be taken out so I can see the different facets and the reflections that appeal to me. In a way, that helps me to think further about what I believe, what I like and what I want to write. Luci Shaw poet and author of Breath for the Bones: Art, Imagination & Spirit I’ve been reading and enjoying Roy Salmond’s Between the Notes for years. I consider him a mentor. He writes with the careful eye of both the musician and poet that he is. Furthermore, he sees evidence of the hand of God in the world he describes and directs his readers to see what in their hurry they might otherwise miss. Consequently, what Salmond writes lingers as food for thought long after it is read. Jerry Root author of The Surprising Imagination of C. S. Lewis Roy Salmond is a Vancouver-based producer, engineer, author, and multi-instrumentalist who is fascinated by the interplay between art, beauty, and the living of a good life. From his early days touring the globe as a singer-songwriter, through hundreds of award-winning album production and performance credits with artists in genres from pop and punk to folk and funk, Roy’s curiosity and passion for creative discovery have never wavered. The recipient of GMA Canada’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015, Roy continues to produce music and find new avenues for creative exploration, including podcast hosting (family360), speaking at conferences and workshops, and writing Between the Notes―a weekly blog he started on a dare. When he’s not in the studio, you can find Roy reading voraciously, mentoring artists, riding his bike, playing with his grandkids, strumming one of the six-stringed companions in his formidable collection, and listening to vinyl on Sunday afternoons with his wife, Gayle.
