“In White Light” CD by Mae and Cally Robertson
“In 2005, I was asked to perform a benefit concert celebrating mothers and daughters to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama. This cause was close to my heart for several reasons: my friend, Rachel Bissex, who wrote this album’s title song, had recently died of breast cancer; Penny Nichols, who sings most of the harmonies and Irene Young, who took all of the photos, had both recently been diagnosed (I’m happy to report that both are now cancer free); and my mother-in-law, Jennie Robertson, was a longtime breast cancer survivor. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to lend my voice to the cause. For me, it was literally a celebration of mothers and daughters. This new recording, In White Light is a joyful extension of these concerts, which have become a continuing tradition,” says Mae. (For more information on the upcoming October concert, please visit the Events Page)
In White Light includes 8 previously unreleased songs - four sung by Mae and four sung by Cally. The additional 12 songs appeared on previous albums of Ms. Robertson’s.
“We are so very grateful for the release of In White Light,” says BCRFA President, Dianne Mooney. “Mae recorded and produced this CD with the intention of raising awareness and funding for breast cancer research, and 100% of the purchase price of this CD will go directly to fund breast cancer research.”

Cancer is a simple illustration of hope and tenacity, utilizing ancient and modern symbols to describe the conundrum of this often devastating disease process, and the ongoing search for a cure.
Hippocrates called malignant tumors carcinos, Greek for crab or crayfish. The term describes an apparent similarity of these many-legged aquatic creatures to certain malignant tumors, having a hard round center surrounded by pointed projections. The Latin word for crab is Cancer.
This cancer consists of a Gordian knot, an ancient metaphor for an intractable problem. The knot itself is a tangle of ribbon, which today represents a bond of unity and support, and a badge of solidarity against a common challenge. The crab-shaped knot thus signifies both an extremely difficult puzzle to untangle, and the determination to arrive at a solution. Fortunately, one of the legs of the crab is slowly beginning to unravel...
