And now a moment of shameless self promotion

June 13, 2008 8:25 pm / colin

Rare chance to experience the music of the Two Old GoatsThe highlight of 2007, for me, was recording a CD worth of music… something I have always wanted to do. I grew up in a house that had a fair amount of music in it – A Heinztman piano from the 19th century was a household fixture and I started playing it when I was 6 or 7. After a couple of years worth of lessons, a guitar started to seem way cooler – and easier to pack around too. That was in the mid-Seventies.

By the mid-eighties I was playing around with a small collection of garage and jukebox bands. In the late eighties, I had a hand in on producing a couple of small folk acts – one such project netted about 4000 units sold – which was not bad for a self-published recording completed on a budget less than $500 in a borrowed studio in a University radio station.

Fast forward to last year and a 10 year hiatus from playing much of anything.

A chance meeting with another troubadour led to a recording project and a duo called, affectionately, the two old goats. Long story. Short story: We are not that old!

We pressed 1000 units and have sold 1/2 of them… but we would love to keep up that momentum if possible – things have slowed down some…
because between the 2 of us (Charlie and I…), I am sure we only had 500 friends.

Anyway – if you are a regular reader of the CoffeeCrew blog (I know that there are about 3 of you out there…) and you want a piece of music history – pop over to our website and buy a copy or swing by CBC Radio 3 on the internet and hear a few of our tunes.
