His accomplishments made us not only pleased to find his name was spelled the way it was (more about that below), but gave us inspiration to create strong music with an emphasis on honor, courage, and valor. We hope, in fact, he would be proud to be remembered and honored through music we feel reflects his spirit and world view.
We had deliberately chosen the M-o-h-r spelling as we were well acquainted with the Glengarry Bhoys, a Canadian Band who use the “h” in question prominently in their name and promotional materials. We decided honoring them with professional respect and courtesy confirmed the choice of the spelling we use.
Thanks for clearing that up. And welcome to X Marks the Scot!
