According to who-sang-that-song.com there are 140 known songs with the word “walk” in it. Add one more to the list with the release of “Walk for Memories”, a special commemorative song to help honour all participants in the Investors Group Walk for Memories.
“Walk for Memories” was written by Willie Hardie, a member of The New Vista Striders team who participates in the Vancouver Walk every year. The song was professionally recorded at the Art Institute of Vancouver with vocals by Amber Wilmot.
The song was first performed publicly by Willie at a pub-night fundraising event for their Walk team. Zachary McMillan performed the song live at the Vancouver Walk on Jan. 30 in front of hundreds of event participants.
Listen to the song accompanied by a video collage of images of past Vancouver Walks at the Society’s YouTube channel.
Production of the video was done by Mark Zuberbuhler.
