= B12 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 14, 1991 Recording Mark Perry bac artist — by Northwest ‘Loons’ at Riverboat Days | by Diana English _ Mark Perry, a singer/songwriter from Smithers was in Terrace for Riverboat Days as a performer for Music /91.. Perry performed two shows on both Saturday and Sun- day with his band the "Loons" consisting of Smithers’ musicians — drummer Richard Jenne, guitarist Wayne Sketchley and George Stokes, a former Terrace resident, on bass. Perry currently lives in Smithers © with his wife and greatest musical critic Jane Lioyd-Smith, his four year old daughter Maric, and son Matthew three. His job in Smithers is as a yard helper for the railroad, _ but his real passion is with his ‘singing and songwriting. He and the Loons play in the Bulkley promoting his original tunes and doing both dancé music and listen- ing music, whatever the crowd and situation demand. Perry released a tape just before Christmas 1990 which so far has sold over 1,000 copies, which he says is a milestone musicians aim for. The tape, called Dreams of the Highway and produced by Roy Forbes is distributed by Festival Records of Vancouver. All of the songs on the tape were written by Mark Perry. Perry says that Music "91 has been good for him. He says it was good promotion which is difficult for an upcoming individual artist to achieve. Perry was also at the Kispiox Rodeo in June as part of ked | WILD DUCK LOOT. These two Rotary Wild Duck Race winners — Terraces Pat McGinley and Douglas Hudson — didn't have to bother cashing cheques to get their cash prizes.
