Bragging Rights

The Better Half has a band, the Flying Fish Sailors, and they recently won the Houston Press 2007 Award for "Best Pirate Band." I don't know how much competition there is for the award, and I kind of suspect that someone made up the category in order to give the guys an award but hey, who's complaining? An accolade is an accolade. They've collected many honors in their two decades as a band but another one is always welcome.

On a related note, band member mrkamikaze has vintage, out of print, live recordings of blast from the past events: 1995's Blarney Fest and 1996's Son of Blarney Fest -- they're available for FREE download. Thank you, mcroft, for making these rare recordings available! As always, the in-print Flying Fish Sailors catalog is available from Amazon. :)

Not worried about credit, just interesting.

Saw Clandestine last night in Bethlehem, PA. Talked with EJ and Gregroy. They talked about all the old CDs they had (and which ones were out of print). After the show, I mentioned that they'd skipped one very early recording. EJ still has a shrinkwrapped copy.

Too late. The credit is already added. ;) I appreciate your finding them and making them available because now I have some more free stuff to tempt people with when I try to convince them to give the band a try. :)

Hope they're all well. Just last week Joe and I were talking about the reconstituted Clandestine while walking Brinkley. Is Al touring with them?
