Deer Camp Prequel

I don't want you to get the impression that I'm superstitious or anything but I never begin my gun deer camp without the Cowboy Junkies.

It is a really, really long story; yet do not ever provoke the wrath of the Deer Hunting Gods by switching-up tradition.

This is a nice tune.  Live in Liverpool. 

Enjoy.  

And safe travels if you're on your way to camp...

I don't want you to get the impression that I'm superstitious or anything but I never begin my gun deer camp without the Cowboy Junkies...

Never provoke the wrath of the Deer Hunting Gods by switching-up tradition.

This is a nice tune.  Live at Canada's iconic Massey Hall (Toronto, ON) on May 24, 2018. 

Enjoy.  And safe travels if you're on your way to camp...   

 

Friday Music

I don't want to leave the impression with the reader that I am superstitious or anything.  Nevertheless, there is a long-standing tradition of listening the music by the Cowboy Junkies in the run-up to the gun hunting extravaganza. 

As a consequence there is today's musical selection from the second album of the Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session.   

The original recording was made inside Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity on November 27, 1987, with the band circled around a single microphone.  The band was unable to rehearse with most of the guest musicians before the day of the six hour session.

Considering the method of recording and time constraints, this could have been disastrous for the numbers which required seven or more musicians, but after paying a security guard twenty-five dollars for an extra two hours of recording time, the band was able to finish, recording the final song of the session, Misguided Angel, in a single take.  -Wikipedia

Stoke the fire and top up the wine - this clip from the Trinity Sessions Revisited with vocals from Margo Timmins and guest artist Natalie Merchant.

If you are hunting this weekend take all precautions to shoot straight and be safe....

Deer Camp - The Prequel

Arrived today.

Shopped for groceries and other supplies and am working thru my list of preparations for when the guys begin to arrive tomorrow.

The girls are resting by the wood stove and I'm indulging in a refreshing glass of Merlot.  Not that I'm suspicious or anything - but per tradition I've got the Cowboy Junkies on Pandora.

Never provoke the wrath of the Deer Hunting Gods by switching-up tradition.

This is a nice tune.  Skydiggers perform "To Love Is To Bury" with Cowboy Junkies on CMT's Dakota Sessions.  Filmed live at the Dakota Tavern in Toronto, ON in 2008.

Enjoy.  And safe travels if you're on your way to camp...
