The Death of Moe

The Death of Moe

Cancer, Events, Health
Movember is over and so rings the death knell of Moe, the moustache that took up residence under my nose for the month of November. Moe was conceived to support the Prostate Cancer Canada fund raising event that's turning into a global phenomenon, prompting politicians, celebrities and men from every walk of life to let the lip hair spring eternal and sport a cheesy face fender. The world witnessed a variety of mo's from large and unsightly to small and unsightly.

The Lynn Canyon Band visited our home a few weeks ago to record a few demo tracks and the results are below for your aural stimulation. Keep in mind that these tunes were recorded on only 8 tracks and we didn't have the luxury of a soundproof room or any of the other accoutrement associated with a modern recording studio. But I have to say that the results were better than we expected but you be the judge by clicking the play buttons below to listen.
