He’s never gonna leave me, he’s never gonna lie, cuz my little darling…he’s one of a kind. This week's new release is about my one man band and constant companion, Mark Sheldan. (www.marksheldan.com) There's something about a one-of-a-kind love that makes you see nothing but blue skies and feel hot like the summer heat. Or is that just my menopause? This track went on our 'Smokeywine' Two of a Kind album in 2007 - a play on words...get it? (www.smokeywine.com)
Can you tell I love my guitars? The electric beauty you see me playing with my pink beret on is what you hear on this recording. I put my telecaster on its smoothest setting and went to town with a declaration of love and all that jazz. With thirteenth and ninth chords dominating the melody, I put my one-of-a-kind eclectic style into action. The expert saxophone played by Mark Dowding mimics the guitar riffs, needing no drums to keep up the beat; enter - egg shakers anonymous. I had to shake the eggs so many times my arms nearly fell off. This happy story about a boy and a girl and finding the ‘right one’ begins with a bang and ends with a twist that leaves you hanging.
The photo shoot in Penticton with my dad was all blue skies and sunshine. We used his multitude of instruments as props and went to the beach where we found a swinging chair that proved useful as well. * See bottom pic. * By then, Mark had gotten rid of his glasses and his moustache, cleaning up pretty good, I'd say.
Shout out to my dad who is the greatest photographer I know and a darn good luthier too. He's fixed and built so many instruments now I believe he's going for a record. Strangest instrument or weirdest thing used for an instrument - there's got to be a category for his kind of courage. A cardboard guitar? That's another story and another song for later...
Thanks to my new listeners in Pretoria, South Africa of all places. Keep on supporting homegrown, organic music and local artists - we appreciate it. Until next time, be one of a kind and Love, Laugh and Dance! ~*.*~ Lea Sheldan

Sing along with the lyrics below:
One of a Kind
Nothing but blue skies
How I love summer heat
Here comes my baby
Waving at me
With a sparkle in his eye
And flowers in his hand
He’s the one, he’s my kind of man
He’s got that one of a kind look
One of a kind smile
His sweet talkin’ gonna make me high
One of a kind lover
My one man band
The one that loves me like no one else can
You know he is (one of a kind) You know he is
He’s the only one for me
Only one I see
Picture perfect, baby, I believe
He’s never gonna leave me
He’s never gonna lie
My little honey…is one of a kind
You know he is (one of a kind) You know he is
You know he is (one of a kind) Well, I know he is
He’s the only one for me
Only one I see
He's picture perfect, baby, I believe
He’s never gonna leave me
He’s never gonna lie
My little darling…is one of a kind
You know he is (one of a kind) You know he is
You know he is (one of a kind) I know he is
You know he is (one of a kind) Oh yes he is!
