You're caught between a rock and something
Hurting at the core
You jumped the wire and you headed down on
Old Montgomery Lane
You were half way home to heaven when you
Heard that voice again
She said, always keep me close
Even cross a distant sea
One more thing, yeah before I go
Don't forget to miss me
Trouble came to tear him down
And laid his plans to waste
Thoughts of her keep coming strong,
Like a feeling he could taste
He sent her words as sweet as wine
And stars on a full moon night
She sent him kisses soft as rain
All bathed in a summer's light
The day drew near when they would meet
She rose two hours for dawn
She tried so hard not to cry but now the tears had come
Harry Manx (born 1955) is a Canadian musician who blends blues, folk music, and Hindustani classical music. His official website describes his music as being a "blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you'll get Manx's unique "mysticssippi" flavour." Manx plays the slide guitar, harmonica, six-string banjo, mohan veena and Ellis stomp box. He studied for five years in India with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed mohan veena, which has become Manx's signature instrument.
He has released twelve albums in twelve years, and has his own record label Dog My Cats Records.
He has received much recognition and many awards, including: seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, the Canadian Folk Music Award in 2005 for Best Solo Artist, and CBC Radio’s "Great Canadian Blues Award" in 2007.
Manx was a nominee in the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards for his cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire".
Manx is a longtime collaborator with Canadian guitarist Kevin Breit and Australian keyboardist Clayton Doley.
