Murray and I attended the Juno's last year in Vancouver...it was incredible to be part of that evening....The Pucks played at the Railway Club begining of Juno Week in Vancouver and then we were able to take in all the festivities....what a great party!

What you don't know - May 12, 2009
What you don’t know about “Martha”
Insights from the songwriter, Murray Gable, about the tracks on the CD “Martha“.
“Heart Hiway” is a hiway north of Prince George B.C.. It is actually called the John Hart Hiway, but I liked the play on words…it felt like a song of hope, and belief in the future. Young love, or any love for that matter, is the most optimistic feeling in the world!
Hurray for love!
“Martha” was started as a rhythm and a vocal loop and expanded from there.
I came up with the lyric idea when I was sitting in the Seattle airport waiting on a connection .I was surrounded by strangers
I was imagining what it might be like to be the person who might see the very last owl disappear into the forest and into history.
Or to hear the very last flutter of tiny wings as a little bird disappears into extinction.
When I decided to add the endangered species list to the end of the song, I was shocked! What you hear in the song is a small fraction of total.
Lloyds bass track, and Cindy’s vocal work, and amazing percussion brought the song to life.
“More than just a Woman” was written for the movie “Beast of the Bottomless Lake”
The scene calls for a song sung by a drag queen, slightly comedic, yet pure drag.
I loved the big band feel,
It was really fun to write!
“Sidewalk Serenade” is all about romance…pure romance with a feel from an earlier time period.
“Intoxicated” is love song…I wrote it in Nashville.. which means nothing really,
“Fishin or Something” was started as a song for Van Zant…didn’t turn out that way though.
I wanted a fun easy song that you can listen to when your barrelling down a gravel road in the summer time, window rolled down, dust flying behind you, not a care in the world!
“No More Little Woman” was written as a joke, I wanted to write from a woman’s perspective. I am thrilled with the way that Cindy rips it up!
“Rifle and a Bible” I was hiding out in room 123 of the Red Roof Inn, by the Nashville airport, when I wrote this song.
By the time I came stumbling back out into the sunlight it was late in the day, I was tired. I smelled bad
I went and ate something, but the song kept playing in my head, so I drank a six pack and watched a little TV
It’s for the people that might feel caught between a rock and a hard place.
“Milk Mans Son” is written around the title…. a friend said to that to me one day, and I liked the idea. It’s just fun with a lot of truth thrown in.
“Watch Me” was written for a woman to sing.
I find it fascinating the subtle, but very effective way some women flirt.
Slight body movements speak volumes
