Thanks Kev! I'm rather sick, I'm afraid, bad flu, hard time waking accross the room tonight, but I'll be better soon and take your recording of Engine 33 to Engine 33. For those who don't know... Kev recorded a WONDERFUL CD, which includes my song for the lost firefighters of Engine 33 Ladder 9. I'm going to have to sign off now old friend, but your CD really gave me a pick up.
Cheers Larry

Now Larry has started, you might as well fill in some details, Kevin. Tracklist, instrumentation, other musicians contributing, price, outlet...

Wolfgang

(Psst! Larry, he said on another thread somewhere that he doesn't like to be called "Kev"!) (at least, not on the Forum...)

Kevin, let me echo what Wolfgang said. How do we in the States get a hold of this recording?

You're welcome to call me anything you like, Larry. Glad you like the CD. Especially what I did with your song.

Now the thing is, I've just learned how to work the CD recorder on my computer, so I put some of the songs I have on tape through the machine - the tapes are there to help learn the words. (You'd think if you wrote a song you'd know it, but it's not like that at all, because you have different versions of the lines milling around inside you.)

Then I got a thing for making pretty labels for Christmas, so I made up a few and sent them of as a New Year to a couple of people. (There's a couple more I should have sent to, but I had a computer lose a lot of stuff recently, including addresses.

So it's not what you could call a general release. It's playing around with the technology we've got these days.

So if anyone wants one, send me a PM about it, and I'll see about making a few more. But what might be quicker if you want to hear it is I've just been putting a bunch of songs into RealAudio (aka RealPlayer)files to stick up on a website. That should be up in a few days, when I can get the free webspace sorted out. (If anybody's got any recommendations on that, let me know - I need about 100MBs space, and a server who isn't too restrictive about bandwidth, because even with Real Audio song files tend to be a bit big.)

Well done McGrath! - can you give us a track listing please. Does it include Kippers by Post?

It does, Kitty.

Marmite
The strange conversation
Body in the bag
Paddy John
Green Heart of Harlow
A Sailor's Dream
Kippers by Post Cockasaurus
A dreadful disaster
Towers of Heaven
Engine 33
(InOBU's September 11 song)
White Snow
(sung by me, and sung by Áine and Layne
The spring I was six
(Áine's tornado sung - sung by her, and sung by me)
A licence to sing
Stand up at last.


As for instrumentation and other musicians Wolfgang, that's simple, it's just me and a guitar.

It really really is good, I am straining at the bit to be out of bed and take it over to the neighbors at Engine 33. Cheers Larry
