ETERNAL BASSLINE

At the bottom of a song, steady and deep.
A rhythm to carry, a promise to keep.
Each note that he played, each song that he knew,
Was a heartbeat in time, his love shining through.
Now the notes may be silent with his strings at rest,
But his music lives on, as his very best.
Although he has left us, we'll never part  --
The rhythm of his soul and the love from his heart.





Brian Sellar performed with the following Winnipeg-based bands:
In his later years, Brian was the bass player for the house band, as well as the resident sound tech, at the Royal George Hotel in the Winnipeg suburb of Transcona.
