I've been following your career since Bye Bye Blues came out. It was an absolute thrill to attend the Bye Bye Blues reunion concert in Edmonton back in 2001 and an even bigger thrill to meet you after the show. Congratulations on your most recent album. Love it and have downloaded in from itunes.

Rebecca,

I read recently in the Province about the efforts you and your husband made to revive Bye Bye Blues. The amateur psychologist in me suspects there were times when you both wondered why you were going to this effort and expense. Let me explain why it was important, not just to you two. My wife and I are Vancouverites. In 1988 I joined the RCMP and by 1989 I had dragged her off to my first posting in Northern Alberta. That year we saw Bye Bye Blues and it resonated with us for many reasons. A member of my family had been killed in India fighting the Japanese in WW2, and so the scenes there were of great interest. My daughter was born in Alberta, and so the images of Daisy returning to this very cold prairie landscape were very familiar. I was, at that time patrolling farms just like the one in the film and many of the farmers I met had left those farms during the war to serve as “Will” did in the movie.

Years later we returned to Vancouver, where I still work with the RCMP. Another film made during that era that also had an impact on us was “Getting Married in Buffalo Jump”. It took some effort to track it down and buy a DVD version of it. Last year I had mentioned to my wife that I would love to see Bye Bye Blues again with a thought that it would remind us of our early trials and tribulations in Alberta, and of course we would also (again) enjoy the story and the great music. I was stunned that I couldn't find it anywhere, at all, in any format. I thought at first I was doing something wrong in my search, but apparently not! Anyway, thanks both of you for your efforts, at bringing back an important movie. Movies and music make a positive difference to all of us in our every day lives.

P.S. And yes I bought it on iTunes yesterday.

Hello Irene,

I do indeed remember you and the irises! Thank you again for giving them to us and for your hospitality. The irises are well and thriving in our back yard. A very fond memory. All the very best to you both.

Hello beautiful Rebecca: Karen(the blonde publicist) from Duke Street Records... and so long ago. I remember your beauty and warmth. And your talent as Jane Siberry's back up singer as well as the start of your film career which, when I heard the news, was overjoyed.
I've been living in New Mexico for 24 years and I'm a book publicist. It was so good to Google you and find out all you've been up to. Carry on you wonderful human being. Much love,

Karen

So good to hear back from you. I hope your career is thriving and that you are in a good place in your life. Every once in awhile, I catch a glimpse of you in a movie (film & made for TV). I always remember your beauty, friendliness and wonderful nature.
I'm a big fan of your voice! And acting chops! My best to you, Karen

I may end up back in Toronto--lots of reasons to want to stay here in the Land of Enchantment but there are more pressing matters that mean I may return to T.O.

Hi Karen, I hope everything is ok regarding the move back to Toronto. I wish you so well.

Wonderful website, Rebecca! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello, my darling sister! I was just thinking back with huge appreciation to the times I would hear you playing beautiful songs you were constantly writing; some of them, of course, would make me cry! And darn it, you just did it again with Pulling In The Lines. Thanks for the great music, Rebecca! ❤️❤️❤️ Lucia

I recently re-discovered Bye Bye Blues on CBC and taped it.
I will keep it forever!
Rebecca, you were the star of a perfect, sparkling little diamond of a movie that will live forever and should be more widely available.
Among the endless delights for me, the most heart warming were the themes and scenes evocative of the rural prairies during WW II. I was a young lad at the time and the mood of those times was captured so well that it makes my heart ache.
Thanks again - and a huge thanks to Anne Wheeler as well.

I have admired your career over the years. I remember you as a vivacious re-haired baby in Innisfail, Alberta home where my family dropped in frequently on the way to Pigeon Lake. My father (Arnold Lane) and your father (John Jenkins) were cousins. Congratulations on your many successes! If ever you are in Victoria, I'll buy you lunch!

Hello Rebecca,
I hope you don't object or mind an email out of the blue, but I just had to pass this on. I can't believe I just discovered you (your acting) and your work in Black Harbor. I know, a long time ago, but I have never enjoyed a series as much as I have Black Harbor. And, of course, you make the series. I am now looking at all the other work you have done in an effort to "catch up". I am also going to explore your singing as well.
I do hope this wasn't to much of an imposition of mine, but I just wanted to thank you. (Short Story): One of my favorite actors (now passed) was Jack Palance and I saw him in an airport once and stopped him and thanked him for all the joy he had given me during his career. I believe he was very moved by that and he showed it. I learned from that and vowed to thank those of you who do entertain and have "made my day"...so to speak. So, once again, Thank You.

Dan Jenkins, Naples, FL. ([email protected]).

I also have been trying to find Bye Bye Blues the CD or DVD.
I know it was tangled in red tape....but do I have a chance?
I found the sheet music and play and hum it all the time.
But it's your voice I want to hear and that movie I want to see.
Can you help me? Thank you so much.

Dear Rebecca. Recently saw the movie where you were a quest singer. Jake and The Kid. Season 1, Episode 12, you sang a lovely song, that I listened to over and over to hear every word. Unfortunately, I am deaf, hard of hearing and couldn't understand some of the words. Please! Please tell me how I can get a copy of this song. (Once Upon A Memory) I think that is the title. I loved the scene where Jake and Emily danced and kissed during the song. I have saved this movie for forever!! I am 84 years old. And, this song, this memory of my life, touched me deeply. Loved Jake and The Kid.And, for having you as their celebrity star passing through Crocus!!! Forever. Joan Cole

Dearest Rebecca, this is a follow up of a comment 4/14/20 when I told about how much I loved your quest appearance on Jake and the Kid. I have watched the movie and the scene of you singing "Once Upon A Memory I felled In Love With You". I'm guessing this is the title. I love this song and how beautifully you sang it. I missed some of the words. I tried Google to help me identify the song, but they have no match. Please help me I would love to purchase the song. Thank you! Continue your successful career. Joan Cole. ❤

Hello Becky, just telling my husband the story behind my blue expresso cup & saucer! Not sure if you remember those days in the mid-80s when you’d be in Ottawa visiting your then beau Bruce or performing with Jane Siberry. You’ve had an exciting and successful career and I am so glad to have met you in those early days. Sylvia

Found this site address that you wrote on the back of a CIVL Campus and Community Radio card at a Gallus Bros. show in Mission BC some years back, and am chuffed that I did.
Would like someday to interview you on one of my programs.
Your site is a great resource for finding your films and music. I have thoroughly enjoyed those I've already seen and/or heard!

Ah, Rebecca - somehow you came to mind tonight and I looked you up!

Wow!
First time I have seen what you’ve been up to!

What wonderful work you have been doing since the last time I saw you in Toronto 1983 - 1986.

You still have your spirit! :D
So much love to you.

Here is me in two interviews and on TikTok if you need a reminder of who the heck I am.

Hello Rebecca, so many years are passed from Black Harbour....Do you remember me, Kelly ( hair depth...)....Just came across something about you and an old/ new punk band and you being the vocalist....That's great. How's Sadie's doing? She must be a beautiful woman now.. Gosh she was a peanut when we met. I am still in Toronto but organizing my come back to Italy, my roots are calling me strongly. If you read this I will be happy to talk to you. With much love....Joe

Hello Rebecca, I just wanted to say congratulations on your outstanding career. You and I worked together many years ago in the early 1980's at the Chick'n Deli restaurant. You were such a genuine person. I really enjoyed your company and I'm thrilled to see your success.
