"The Mizzen Men In The Studio"

After performing on New Years Eve in Sydney, and a week later doing a three night gig at The Old Triangle Pub in Moncton, Tom, Ray and myself headed to The Sound Expression Studio's in Lake Utopia, NB, with our producer, Christian Gay... We recorded all our music tracks during the week of January 15th to 20th, and we're really pleased with the outcome... Now for the downside!!!

Around December 20th, I came down with strepped throat, courtesy of my boys bringing a "bug" home from school... My 'Doc' had me on antibiotics, and although they helped a little, I was still well "under the weather" for the New Years Eve and Moncton gigs... So to make a long story short, we put the recording of our vocal tracks on "pause", and will get back at it, hopefully in mid March sometime... No sense in ruining what's going to be a great CD, with poor vocals... And I must have given the "bug" to Tom and Ray, as both of them were far from 100% as well with their vocals... HA!!! Sorry Guys!!!

So don't fret folks!!! Our new CD, "Folk Songs & Sea Shanty's" will be completed, just a little later than sooner... "Slainte"...

"Off To Moncton & Saint John"

My trip back home to Cape Breton proved to be a great time, aside from battling strepped throat and the flu, ha!!! The Mizzen Men (Wayne, Tom & Ray) performed at The East Bay Legion, (just outside Sydney) on New Years Eve, and although it was a struggle for my voice, we ended up having a pretty good gig, and "all hands" seemed to have a grand time...

The attached is a picture of my new 2006 Pontiac Torrent, which I bought a few weeks ago... She and I will be enroute to Moncton bright and early tomorrow morning, for a three night Mizzen Men gig at The Old Triangle Irish Ale House... I'll also be doing a solo spot on Saturday afternoon... Then on Sunday, we're off to Saint John, and The Sound Expression Studio's in Lake Utopia on Monday, (with our Producer Chris Gay), to start recording our third and new CD, "Folk Songs & Sea Shanty's"... So keep us in your thoughts and prayers everyone, and I'll see you in a few weeks, when I get back home to Murray River... "Slainte"...
