There was always something on the turntable or someone visiting with a guitar".  As a nephew of Canadian composer Harry Somers, Whitey Somers found an early love of music, a pool he most happily dove into.  Whitey Somers latest CD "Happy Guy" (the followup to 2005's "YTCD"*) Has been featured in BC Musician Magazine and was produced by Craig Smith and Whitey Somers.  Now available @ CDbaby, itunes, spotify, apple music etc.
