Now that Halloween is over and the elections are mostly done and hopefully people have a little more brain time XD and also because I don’t have a new song this week (I’m working on it! But it won’t be done ’till Monday) I wanted to remind everybody about my gig coming up on November 20th at The Lyons’ Den in Bothell, Washington. It’s a no-cover show, starts 8pm, runs until 10; two sets with a break in between. I’d love to see some of you there!<\/p>\n
Also, if you missed it: I’ve got a new toy for you! Trad o\u2019 th\u2019 Week, or maybe Month, or It\u2019s Up To My Schedule. Once a week or two, I’ll do a single-day recording of a traditional song \u2013 usually Newfoundland folk \u2013 and members of the Crime and the Forces of Evil mailing list will be able to download it free. And none of this 96k preview bullshit, either; it’ll be a high-quality mp3. ^_^ Once I’ve got enough of them I’ll probably make a compilation and put it up on the Bandcamp site for sale, so these aren’t throwaways; fans just get ’em free, and first. XD The first song \u2013 \u201cCaptain Kidd,\u201d a song about the famous pirate \u2013 is already online, and you can get it by signing up to the CFoE mailing list at Fanbridge:<\/p>\n

These are like live recordings, but without the audience – it’s me, a zouk or mandolin, and maybe a drum or flute if I have the time budget for it. This particular recording has the zouk, my vocals, and me on bodhran, which is genuinely as Old School Newfoundland Folky as I get. But it\u2019s about criminals \u2013 pirates, in particular \u2013 so what\u2019s not to love? Clickie and sign up!<\/p>\n
