- Inspired by Vaughn Williams’ Blake Songs, Maier set out to create his own groupings of short pieces with a musical theatre twist. He chose 5 quirky, funny poems by Liza McLellan and had composer Rebecca Pellet set music to them. Each poem offers bizarre and random advice, hence the name of the suite and CD itself “Advice From a Misguided Man”. These pieces are; “Dear Jeremiah”, “Page 10”, “Bohbins”, “How To Do It” and “How to Eat Cheese”. Each movement is sung by a different Canadian musical theatre star; Rick Miller, Michael Therriault, Evan Buliung, Martin Julien and Canadian comedy icon, Colin Mochrie. These actors have been seen on the biggest stages and have received critical acclaim and awards for their ability to bring truth, passion and humor to the text they deliver. They are interspersed throughout the CD as a break from the “serious” music, to provide a pallet cleanser for the next song. -“The Pipes” is an original arrangement of traditional bagpipe tunes by Colin Maier and Mark Camilleri.
