Blues veteran releases debut album at age of 68

It is not every day that a 68 year old musician releases their first CD, but that is what Nanaimo's irrepressible Sherry Smith has just done with her group, Band from Glad. Featuring contributions from local blues star David Gogo, Smith's debut, entitled Gardener of My Mind, will be officially unveiled with a special show at Vancouver Island University's Malaspina Theatre on April 16.
