MMario,

Any progress on putting a few samples online?

Mario,

I received your CD in the mail today. Thank you. I immediately tore open the case and tossed it in the player. I like your take on The Mother's Kiss very much. Your un-accompanied style does this song justice. I haven't been able to listen to the rest of it yet tho'. I am sitting here dripping wet between the shower and the bedroom as I change and get ready to do our fourth performance of this week end. But I had to express my thanks to you for adding my humble effort to your CD.

Don

Mmario and I are working on one approach to getting sound clips online, and there's another trick up my sleeve if that doesn't work or if he doesn't find another friendly spot.

sorry - had some social obligations which have kept me fro putting the samples up - there shouldn't be any problem posting them - I just haven't had a chance to rip them from the cd.

a couple tracks are avaialbe at www.smallstuffstudios.com

Don - thanks for the comments - glad you liked my effort. Your song has had me in it's grip since I first read the lyrics.

we are "experiencing technical difficulties" getting playable mp3's up on the site - however I do have some clips available by e-mail ([e-mail]) if people want to request them.

And I have heard a couple of the clips-- it's just like having MMario in your living room or car. Can't wait to have my CD!

I just heard from a gentleman in England who is plays my CD for his classes. He says the kids favorite is 'The Wolfhound' - though a Welsh collegue complained about my spelling Beddghelert 'Beth Gelert'

I got a copy of my own, and was privileged to meet MMario in person, at Mystic. If you have not yet heard this, you have missed a truly good thing! I love unaccompanied male singing, and he has a lovely rich expressive voice and some excellent song selections.

I will have it available at the VERMONT RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL on their opening weekend - June 26 and 27

okay - blatant self-advertising - but if anyone gets to the Sterling Renaissance Festival I will have this (and the Blue Bottle CD) available. Not available in the gift shop - only direct from me- and since technically I can't "sell" it onsite I'll have to trade it to you in exchange for cash. or meet outside the gates

if anyone is interested - the preliminary track mixes for the first couple cuts of the next CD (of Christmas Carols) are at

Small Stuff Studios

I swear there's an organ playing in the background...and I KNOW there wasn't one there...

refreshing because the site has changed and I got my own sample page now!!!!

some new stuff up at SmallstuffStudios.com

BTW- check out the rest of the site - Steve is doing an exciting project based on his father's old recordings...

just a reminder to folks in that neck of the wood -

I'll have my CD with me at Maryland Renaissance Festival (though you will need to catch me outside the gate unless we have pre-arranged) for Pirate Weekend (Sept 25/26) and again next month at the Getaway.

refreshing just in case there is anyone who'll be going to Pirate Weekend at MD this weekend. Sorry for the blatant advertising - but I had to buy new tires this week.

Had a recording session for the next CD wednesday night - 13 songs are in post-production - 5 still need additional tracks cut - either instrumental or additional voices.

Christmas Carols - so strange to be doing them this time of year - we recorded one number in August because that was the only time we could get the group I needed together.

And apparently MMario can sell CD's on reputation alone, even beyond Mudcat-- he left a few at our church. Hardi put it in the newsletter that they could be had through the church office-- sold a set of three already! :~)

I just ordered another box of these to keep passing around to people I think should hear it, and have the Christmas one to add too.
If you have not heard Mmario sing, you should. Wonderfully warm expressive voice, great song selection, simple unaccompanied and unaffected style. And the best version of "Mist-Covered Mountains" ever.
