Folkish/Rockish Album with a lot of Whistle on it
Posted: Wed Oct 09, 2019 1:47 pm
I am very happy to announce that the album I co-produced with my most excellent friend, Chad Yarborough, has been launched. I am most grateful that Chad asked me to play on this album, which contains 12 of his original songs. We used a good recording studio right here in Brooklyn. I am happy to be a part of this endeavor. Chad is a fine singer/songwriter and guitarist. He is also as fine a friend as one could have in this life. I don't think many folks release their 'first' rock and roll album at the age of 73, so this is a big deal for me. Likewise, I don't know how many folks would be willing to take a penny whistle player (me) along with them on such an endeavor. I am joyous at having had the opportunity to be a 'whistle in the mast' of the schooner that is Chad's music. Hop on board and enjoy the ride. The album is currently available on CD Baby and I-Tunes. I think the snippets of each tune are a bit longer on the I-Tunes version. The title of the album is "A Whistle in the Mast" and refers to the 'singing sound' that the wind makes when blowing through halyards and such-like lines on sailing vessels. Chad is the sailor, not me. The CD Baby link is: http://store.cdbaby.com/cd/chadyarborough3 On I-Tunes, just search on the title, Whistle in the Mast. I would like to acknowledge that the C & F community helped me get up and running with respect to playing the penny whistle, including finding a teacher and solid fellowship with a number of whistle makers and players over, roughly, the past two decades.
Thank you,
