Yesterday

Composed and sung by Hal Studholme, Yesterday was recorded by Ric Paluk before Ric passed away July 3, 2022. Ric plays guitar.

“I was listening to Charles Aznavour sing his version of Yesterday and I decided to rewrite the lyrics to fit Camp Stephens,” says Hal. “Through Punch Jackson I connected to Ric and he got me on to a Karaoke, no lyrics version and we got together at his studio. He did the guitar melody and I sang the song. It took over four hours to get a reasonable version which he then produced for sharing.

“We also spend another two hours reminiscing over coffee about him as a kid in my 1960s Central Y gymnastics club and Stephens, of course.”

And please watch a tribute to Ric.
