The Ferryman
Hi there… Sorry we haven’t posted anything since the end/beginning of the year… Been a lotta stuff happening… But, we’re fine, and, we’re back to posting, playing, doing….
Anyway, here is a video we did, to celebrate St. Patrick’s day… The Ferryman… About the people and land, round the River Liffey, which runs through Dublin Ireland… We first heard the tune in a 300 year old pub, when we were on a trip… Hope you like it…

Merry/Happy Christmas
Hi there… Hope you have, all things considered, a good holiday season. Not here to argue about holidays, the economy, etc, just to wish you all the best that the Season can offer, by bringing out the best in people…
We have tried to do more holiday like things, to offset the heaviness of the pandemic, strife in politics, and all the dark of this year… Be baked cookies, like we haven’t in 20 years.
We have played more music, to lighten the season.
We have tried to be more kind, to all around us….
You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere
Morning, kids… This… may be the perfect tune for our Covid Quarantine… We got the band together- Mike August, Gail Herrera, Elizabether Safley Brinker, Diane Poole, my lovely wife, Maggie, and Ernie Saunders- all amazing tune smiths on their own, and did a Dylan tune, ‘You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere’ (Easy Chair). Turned out pretty darn good, I believe… Hope you like it…
Mr Spaceman
Hey there… Our friend Ernie joined us for an old Byrds tune, Mr Spaceman… Had a great time… Love playin’ w/ Ern… Hope you like it…
Time of the Season
Our friend Diane Poole rounded up the troops- Elizabeth Safely Brinker (check out her YouTube page), Jim Allen, and Franco, and pulled off a great cover of the Zombies tune, ‘Time of the Season’…
Itchycoo Park
Have loved this tune since it was released in 1967. Itchycoo Park, by The Small Faces. Steve Marriott, and Ronnie Lane. Marriott went on to start Humble Pie, one of the greatest hard rock bands in the late sixties, early seventies…Lane went onto The Faces- no, I’m not sure how that works either- with Rod Stewart…
Hope you like our version….
