Marshall Fortescue (Music)
Every Voice But Mine
Every Voice But Mine was recorded by members of Humans, an Internet electronic mailing list that is dedicated to the discussion of Bruce Cockburn, his music - and his touring schedule! Humans was started in July, 1991 by Dan Farmer who continues to maintain it to this day. There are more than 200 members. If you have Internet access, you can subscribe to Humans by sending a request to "humans-request@bi.fish.com"
The musicians hail from various cities in Australia, Canada and the United States. The music was recorded because of a deep appreciation of the music of Bruce Cockburn that is shared by everyone who participated. The production and distribution of this tape was done on a not-for-profit basis.

Acknowledgments
A special note of thanks to Steve Graham who was the driving force behind this project. Steve kept the project alive by badgering the rest of us to send in our songs ;) and toiled countless hours to weave our tapes into "Every Voice But Mine." Thanks Steve!
The cover artwork was scanned from a photo taken by George Whiteside which appears on page 97 of the "Bruce Cockburn: All the Diamonds" songbook, a collection of Cockburn songs recorded between 1969 to 1979. Published by the Ottawa Folklore Center, "All the Diamonds" provides considerable insight into Cockburn's songwriting and guitar techniques. The transcriptions include both music and tablature.

Taken from the liner notes of "Dart to the Heart" - because it's important...
"The ozone layer is being depleted. UV-B radiation is on the increase. The threat to our food supply, to animals, to our health, becomes more ominous by the minute. If this scares you as much as it does me, you might consider contacting Friends of the Earth. We are an international organization working hard on ozone protection, as well as other environmental issues. (I'm honourary chairperson of F0E Canada)" --Bruce Cockburn
