01 Dec 02 - 03:06 PM (#838392) Subject: RE: Review: Big Micks CD 9Conking Celi Band) From: Big Mick John, thanks very much for your kind comments. I am glad you are enjoying it. For all the performing I have done, this is the first time we have done a CD. Very similar to Don Meixners wonderful CD. His is a veteran band, that just never got around to recording. But I can recommend his CD highly. And I could care less how you spell it, I just appreciate the nice comments. Thanks, my friends. Mick |

30 Jul 03 - 10:49 PM (#993901) Subject: RE: Review: Big Micks CD 9Conking Celi Band) From: Big Mick We are in our second run of this one, and in the planning stages for number two. I love the description given by Willie-O. We have never tried to be pure "Irish", rather we try to be a group of very proud Irish Americans, mixing our musical influences with our takes on the songs/tunes and being as original as possible in our arrangements. Or we take a great old song and blend with a synergistic (howzat fer a word)tune, as in the Carlow/Swallowtail arrangement. As musicians, we all understand how important validation from our peers can be. You have all made me feel very good. Thanks. John, I appreciate your comments very much. Thanks for your ongoing support. When I get to your neck of the woods, the Guinness is on me. All the best, Mick |

30 Jul 03 - 11:13 PM (#993916) Subject: RE: Review: Big Micks CD 9Conking Celi Band) From: Big Mick The instrumentation on the CD is 6 string guitar, 12 string guitar, bass guitar, 48 button concertina, 22" bodhran, Irish bouzouki, whistles, banjo, mandolin, and hammered dulcimer. John, we don't have a trip planned yet, but we have talked about it a bit. It would be great to do Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England, and catch a gig or two along the way. But the real fun would be in the sessions. Got to go to bed. Early day tomorrow. All the best, Mick |
