Dear Friends,
On Saturday, May 11, we will be in New Haven, CT at the Westville Village Artwalk.
We will be on the main stage at 2:30 PM, so come on out and see us!
And the price is right, it's a free show.
We recently recorded an old Ian Tyson song I have always loved, called "Summer Wages".
Back in the sixties, when I first started doing "folk" music, whatever that is, I bought every Ian and Sylvia record and wore them out.
I learned how to sing imitating Ian and hoped to someday be half as cool as he was, being not only one of folk's best voices, but a real honest to God cowboy!
So here I am with the sincerest form of flattery, my best Ian.
You can listen to this unreleased MP3 by clicking here (or right-click to download).
The download is free.
Enjoy!
All the best... Rob, Vinnie, Paul and Sam
