Lorna Lovell heaves a curveball with her debut album
CBC
Lorna Lovell says it's never too late to follow your dreams.
Her recent debut album, Whenever I Sing, has been warmly received, and Lovell has just released a music video for one of the songs on the album All Your Dances.
All this as she approaches 50.
"Life keeps throwing curveballs at me and I keep dodging them," Lovell says, "and sometimes heave them back."
Lovell grew up in McIvers on the west coast of Newfoundland, where she said music was a big part of her childhood.
She sang regularly in Sunday school and church. Her father, Gordon Lovell, was a musician and songwriter who composed folk and country tunes, and even sometimes hymns.
Lovell recalled singing a hymn at her hometown church that she particularly enjoyed, and being surprised that her father had created it.
