few years ago the people who make Crown Royal mingled too many barrels of flavouring whisky and ended up with one full tanker car more than they needed. They shipped this orphan car to Amherstburg, where it sat for a while before it was then sent back to Gimli, and the whisky was poured back into barrels to free up the railway tanker for its next shipment. Back once more in barrels, these blended flavouring whiskies continued to mature to the extent that they no longer resembled the whisky that normally goes into the familiar and always consistent Crown Royal Deluxe blend. What could be done with them? Then the blenders and brand managers had a brainwave. When they tasted this orphan product, they had found it delicious, even without the base whisky. Why not bottle it? And so Cornerstone Blend, the first in a series of special one-time releases from Crown Royal, was born. A rail tanker load may sound like a lot of whisky, but with the solid popularity of Crown Royal in the US, almost all of this has already gone.
Will there be another release in this “Noble Col- lection?” Quite likely, especially since the innova- tions team at Crown Royal recently poured some experimental whiskies for journalists to sample. These included an all-wheat Crown Royal distilled in an ancient Coffey still, an all-barley whisky from the same still, and a phenomenal Crown Royal single malt whisky. Any of these could make it onto the market, but only time will tell if they do. It is reas- suring, though, to know that with the world-wide acclaim that Canadian whisky is currently enjoying, the whisky that was originally made solely for a King is now available to the crowned and un-crowned alike in both the original and newly developed versions.

trouble finding like-minded Valley musicians to help out on the “Good Time Heart” project.
“I wrote the song Good
Time Heart 30 years ago and my wife suggested I go into the studio to record it. I decided to try something different, and got all these players to see if we could do a CD and donate it to the radio for all the work they do supporting local artists on the air. So I called up and Facebooked all these musicians and we ended up with 32 people on this”. Some of the names you might recognize involved in “Good Time Heart” are Dick Cooper of the Cooper Brothers, Gail Gavan, Arlene Quinn, Chris McCann, Bob Clermont and Terry Tufts. Famed Ottawa photographer John Rowlands, best known for his legendary work with David Bowie, volunteered his time to do the album cover photos. Over a period of about a month some 32 Valley musicians visited True Talent Studios in Nepean. To get a very cool inside look at the recording process, please go to: http://www.
carolannemeehan.com/blog/2016/10/6/good-time-heart When the project is completed, probably by early
December, “Good Time Heart” will be made available on the internet via Bandcamp and ITunes, and will also be sold at Valley Heritage Radio. Then proceeds will be turned over to the station to help in their operating expenses. For Denny Welburn this project brings his career to
somewhat of a full circle. After a long and continuing career entertaining in the Valley he says it’s time to pass the torch. “I’ve been playing music for almost 49 years”, he says. “I had my kick at the can. Now, there’s lots of young talent coming up and it’s great that there is a station they can be heard on.”
That’s called paying it forward, and paying it back.
