Extremely exciting news friends and fans. Your humble narrator just got off his email account and is THRILLED to hear from Don Schmid. Don is the founder of the NonHappners from Saskatoon, and also the drummer of the Northern Pikes. Don is a professional studio musician as well, and he will be handling much of the percussion, drums, but will perform vocals, write lyrics, play guitar, etc. Not to mention possible video work as well.

This is very exciting for Dave and I as this completes the nucleus of the Nonhappners again. The difference is that none of us live in Saskatoon anymore and we will be using Internet technology and advanced software to collaborate our projects.

This brings the Pop Jerry line-up to three members now. There is no plan for live performances as of yet, but if we all decided that it was worthy idea it may happen after there is a full album release. Not only a full album release, but a full album release that we believe to be strong in content and “strong in song.”

So a heartfelt, loving welcome to Don from me and Dave.

We are currently preparing tracks for a new song from Dave called “Mary Made a Radio”.

SYNOPSIS for “Mary Makes a Radio”: a young 1950’s housewife helps the war effort by working in a radio factory, while her husband is overseas. she imagines she can hear his voice through the radio she is building…soothing words and a promise to return.  when she finally gets the radio finished, and turns it on to test it, she hears a notice the he has died in a nighttime raid on a German radio factory.
