Katie Melua Instagram – This recording of the song ‘River’ you’re hearing is an original song by Ron Carey.
I met Ron at the @arvon__ songwriting course, which I was part of with @fionasampson123.
He was taking part in our songwriting retreat, and he wrote this song ‘River’ and asked me to play and record it just on my iPhone during one of our tutoring sessions. He said he had lots more in him.
I found his industrious spirit inspiring and I was really moved by ‘River’. We were planning and hoping to finish the recording we started, but sadly that wasn’t to be.
I heard from his son Michael recently that when he was younger he didn’t have the means to study music at university, but during his retirement he enrolled at @lancasteruni on a music degree.
Ron, thank you for sharing your deep love of songs and music, for ‘River’ and for lighting the way in true style. R.I.P. | Posted on 03/May/2024 17:30:00
