folk music painting by steve McManaman |
In the early
80’s my friend Doug and I, in an act of economic desperation,
ventured on to the streets of Montreal with our instruments, I played
banjo and Doug played guitar and sang, and we ended up making a decent
living, well, at least it was high living for a student. At the end of
a several-year run we recorded some of it for posterity. I got some
other musicians I knew to record with us to spice it up a bit. You can
download MP3’s or email me to buy a cd for higher quality. I
wrote a small book about our adventures. It's a mixture of humour and
philosophy. People have found it enlightening to get inside the head of
a musician. I might put up a chapter sometime in the future. And
if you really want a copy email
me, but it'll be expensive, although it is a nice looking book and even
has a map inside. |
