Harvey Burt
At Site of Malcolm Lowry's Shack On Dollarton Beach
April 2000
British Columbia, Canada

 

Canadian singer/songwriter Joe Hall with long-time friend of Malcolm Lowry's Harvey Burt descend the stairs together as they head to the beach in Deep Cove and the site of Malcolm Lowry's squatters shack.

Harvey stands on the spot (right) where Lowry's front porch once stood. "This is were it was," he confided, "not where they have the commemorative plaque." The shack burnt to the ground while Lowry lived there writing his world famous Under The Volcano. Dollarton was one of the only places Lowry had roots, leaving for places exotic but always returning.

Hall's release of "Travelling Without Deodorant - Best of Joe Hall" on Cordova Bay/Ragged Pup Records features 21 of his best loved songs between 1972 and 1988.
