Ever since he began playing guitar as a child,
Massasoit Avenue resident Ken Totushek has used music
to express his faith in God, soothe his troubles and
celebrate his joys. Now, a new album he just released
may help ease the suffering of thousands directly
affected by the tragic events of Sept. 11. |
Mr. Totushek, who works days as the co-owner of a
manufacturing company in Massachusetts, has written,
produced, recorded and released "Pilgrim Song," a
collection of 15 of his own instrumental guitar pieces.
The album was four years in the making, done mostly in
his own digital recording studio. Songs consist
primarily of instrumental guitars, interwoven with
bass, percussion, mandolin and even wildlife
recordings.
Proceeds from the album's sale will benefit
charities providing relief for families and victims of
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"With the attacks, and a seeming helpless feeling so
many of us have experienced," the decision to donate
the proceeds was a natural, Mr. Totushek said.
This is not his first foray into the recording
studio. He released two other CDs in recent years. "For
Love of Christmas" was recorded last November with
former Barrington Baptist Church pastor David Madeira
and his wife, Anna Lisa Madeira. He also recorded "For
the rest of your life," with assorted friends, in 1994.
Copies of Mr. Totushek's new CD can be purchased at
Barrington Books or online at www.graceworkmusic.com.
