Hi there. Hope you are all doing ok/well. Went from cool to hot to cold and rainy, here. Yuck…
Anyway, our friends, Mike August, and Ern Saunders joined us- The Magtones- to have fun w/ a classic… Fire On The Mountain…. Hope you like it…. We had fun doing it…
SO, for fun, we did the ‘getaway house’ thing, for a couple days, in western Michigan… It was fun! Tiny, but, it was nice for a couple days….
Well worth the size, and such, to get away… Google Getaway House, for the url…
Hi
Been a week or two, but, w/ spring here, we’re doing more things, like playing music, between doing yardwork….
This is a tune, by the band, ‘Kickin’ Grass’… Good, no, great bluegrass band… We took a turn, for fun, on their tune Backroads. Our amazing friend Mike August joined us to spice it up…. Check his Youtube Channel… Hope you like it!!!
A tune from 1984, written by Bill Staines, and recorded by Nanci Griffith… Roseville Fair… This is the Magtones take on it, on uke! Big thanks, to Mike August, for great harp touches…. Hope you like it…
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…
Hey there… Happy Holidays- There’s a lot of ‘em. We are fond of Merry Christmas, and, Happy Yule… Anyway… We, with the help of our friends, Ernie, and Mike, our our spin on a Chuck Berry classic- Run Run Rudolph… Hope you like it…
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….
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…
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…
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’…
