          Janice:   Maggie, you have just released a new single, Holding Me.  I believe this song had interesting beginnings and a lovely collaboration.  Can you share with us how it came into being?  Maggie: I’d made friends with a Scots gal Yvonne Jay who now lives in Texas, USA. Yvonne sent me an unreleased demo of a song she’d been working on, a duo with a friend of her husband. I then re-wrote it as a solo and at the suggestion of the wonderful Sydney, Australian Saxophone player Andrew Oh I recreated the melody and lyrics keeping a couple of Yvonne’s original hook lines. Yvonne sent me what she had retained of the bed tracks, I don’t know who played. The next step was Scott French, Engineer/Producer at Lovestreet Studios on the Gold Coast created new Drum, Guitar and String tracks.    Janice:  Who are the musicians on the track Maggie and where was it produced? Holding Me is an international collaboration thanks...
