![Something Calling - Pamela Morgan
Seeing something in Noel Dinns lyrics that most people would probably never see, I added disturbingly graphic images of children of the night who could not resist the temptation of something calling them, even if it meant their own ultimate destruction.
Written by Noel Dinn of St. Johns, Newfoundland [1948-1993] and recorded by Pamela Morgan of Grand Falls, NL, on her debut solo album (On A Wing And A Prayer ©1995 Pamela Morgan Publishing, a division of Amber Music, Topsail, NL).
Born in St. Johns in 1948, Noel Dinn was the co-founder, in 1975, with Pamela Morgan, of the seminal Newfoundland band Figgy Duff. For the next two decades the group toured the island, honing a distinctive blend of traditional and contemporary music. They collected old songs and tunes along the way, performing them in new musical settings that included drums, amplifiers and electric guitars.
For the better part of 20 years, Noel and Pamela Morgan conducted research around Newfoundland, in search of the real and sometimes forgotten folk music. Noel studied the rhythm and drive in the music and painstakingly translated it for the younger musicians who dedicated themselves to the cause.
To say simply that Noel was the leader of Figgy Duff is a colossal understatement. He was the bands leader, arranger, manager, booking agent, inspiration, drive (and driver), banker, secretary, not to mention drummer and pianist.
As a producer he helped in the production of all of Figgy Duffs four recordings and also produced Vive la Rose by Emile Benoit and The Color of Amber by Anita Best and Pamela Morgan. He never stopped until he died at the age of 45.
Noel Dinns legacy is a renewed sense of pride in the music of Newfoundland and a changed face on Canadian folk music overall. Noel Dinn helped make a place on the world stage for Newfoundland music as a distinct and beautiful musical genre and convinced a generation who followed that there is value in tradition.
