Pied Pear Tour and CD release

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 14:53:00 GMT

Hi Pear Peeps! (this is not a tweet cause its too big)

We've just heard from our manufacturing team at Spin Digital Media that the new Pied Pear Collectors Edition 2011 CD �Sounds fantastic! Particularly notable is the quality of the original recording."* It's good to hear when carpenters are enthused about the building they are working on.
For our next Pied Pear tour, we're combining two vinyl albums, �The Pear of Pied Pumkin� and �Pied Who? Pear What?� on a�single CD.�CDs will be available by the end of March from our website and at our shows.
Assembling these tunes after all these years brings back memories. I vividly recall playing �Tapioca Pudding� at the Vancouver Folk Festival in Stanley Park.�The accapella section has long silences between phrases and�with thousands standing in silence in the darkness awaiting the next phrase, the stillness was magic. . .at least that's how I remember it.
It will be great to hear what memories come to your mind as you hear these tunes again.�They include many of Vancouver's most amazing musicians** and Shari took the time to be our special guest on these recordings, though her stellar career was just beginning to unfold with the Hometown Band.
The Pied Pear Spring Tour is� almost finalized with shows�in March and April in Vancouver, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, Gibsons and�Calgary, details at http://www.piedpumkin.com/piedpear.shtml.�
We are so looking forward to�seeing you soon. �We'll keep you in touch as soon as it's all together.
Joe

PS We just heard that the two albums would not fit on one CD., So "Caught in the Rain" featuring Shari Ulrich has been removed and made availabe as a free download on the web page. It takes a minute to download because it is a high quality wma file.

PPS�I happened to notice that this Chinese New Year is a rabbit. Rabbits have big (y)EARS. All the best to everyone!

*The originals were recorded by the late Geoff Turner of Pinewood Studios and Little Mountain in Vancouver.
(Wikipedia exerpts) Turner was a long-time audio engineer and studio designer from England by way of New York. Geoff Turner first came to Vancouver to design, build and manage Little Mountain Studio. Little Mountain recorded albums by Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Metallica, Bryan Adams, M�tley Cr�e,David Lee Roth, Loverboy and the Cult among many others. (including us Pied Pears).�
To us Geoff was a mentor, calm, patient and generous with his talents. Though he brought with him a world off class and professionalism he was not beyond the challenges of carrying a recording unit to an elementary school to capture the joyful energy of our children's concerts (Pied Pear Elementary). We thank him big time for our times together and for the quality he gave to our recordings and the music community.
Also deserving special mention in the recording department is Sy Garber of Gold Rush Studios. Sy had to baked the orginal masters so that they could be played and transfered to digital.Then he a Rick tweaked and twiddle to bring out the best of what you will be hearing.

Tis 12th day of Christmas and a wondeerful opportunity to say hello.

For the first time since we started rolling a few years back, the Pumkin has come to a rest. Shari put is nicely when she said that Pumkins don�t roll very well. If this were a "ga-lump, ga-lump", we are presently more "lump lump" than "ga-ga." . All this re-inforces the feeling that every meeting has been, is, and will always be another miracle. There are rumours of a return in 2012.

In the interim, the Pied Pear 2011 tour is coming together nicely. There are dates, places and music on the web page. More specifics will be added in the future. We hope to see you in the New Year.

Happy Season's Best!
From Rick, Shari and Joe

(the �deer� thing was not intentional. . .so I'm not messing with it)
