about

Jeff Eager honours the memory of Calgary music teacher Mike Sakatch with a vintage, horn-stacked, funky tribute titled ‘The One’

lyrics

Drifting back to days of old, we thought we were the kings of cool
Young and dumb and brash and bold, we played like we had paid our dues
But you made us take it slow, stop and work through every part
Listen, look and think, made us read the ink, before you let us off the charts

Mira Mira, Watercolours, One For Hank
Payback, Pleasin’, Take The A

Yeah, it always made us smile
When you’d get on the kit and jam with us a while
Yeah, the groove you laid for me
Set me on this path, now you’re not here to see
What you’ve done
You helped me find the one

Got that paper, celebrated, we partied like it’s 1999 (and it was)
Struck out on my own and made it, thought about you after all this time
After all we have in common, I thought it’s good to raise a glass
Waited far too long, now you’re gone, I’m stuck to living in the past

Spinning Wheel, 25 or 6 to 4
Superstition, Shining Star, Oakland Stroke

Yeah, it always made us smile
When you’d get on the kit and jam with us a while
Yeah, the groove you laid for me
Set me on this path, now you’re not here to see
What you’ve done
You helped me find the one

Yeah, it always made us smile
When you’d get on the kit and jam with us a while
Yeah, I never got to say
Thanks to you I live my dream out every day
Yeah, it always made us smile
When you’d get on the kit and jam with us a while
Yeah, the groove you laid for me
Set me on this path, now you’re not here to see
What you’ve done
You helped me find the one
