Huron family pens special song for IPM '17
Sherry McCall and her family
have been supporters of the
International Plowing Match and
Rural Expo (IPM) for many decades
and the talent for song writing has
been in her family for generations. It
was then only natural that McCall
started to investigate in the spring of
2016 if there was a song written in
honour of the IPM. A quick
investigation uncovered that there
had yet to be a song written.
The idea percolated in the back of
Sherry's mind for a few more weeks
and suffering from jet lag after
returning from a vacation in Europe,
the first lyric came to mind.
"It all started with `We're plowing
it down, we're working it up," says
McCall. "Once I had that line it all
started coming from there. I kept
thinking about what does the IPM
offer and started thinking about the
words that rhymed. I did not share it
with Jacque Bishop, Chair of IPM
2017, right away. I shared the song
with a few ladies who understood
the IPM as much as I did and they
encouraged me to share it."
McCall then enlisted a local
production company, FauxPop
Media, to record the song and
produce the music video. In the
music video and singing the song are
Amanda McClure, Isaiah Sills and
Jack Storey. Huron County born and
raised, each singer is of a different
generation - paying tribute that the
IPM is an event for all to attend.
Sherry credits the Sills family for
helping her tweak the tempo and
offer ideas on musicality to make the
song stronger.
"My hope is that the song is used
as a tool to explain what the IPM is
all about and will get people excited
about the 100th IPM being hosted
here at home in September," McCall
says.
