It has been a while since the Dalai Lama was in town and we still haven't heard a peep from him, but know he's a busy guy. We checked his schedule and there's no mention of The Eddies.

The audience with The Pope has does not look good. No word from our "agent" and he's not returning calls. This does not bode well for our Italian Tour.

The Eddies' latest (and first) CD is now available!
"Hold Fast" - Songs of Work, Love, & Death: Volume 1.

Check out the Online Liner Notes and How To Purchase.

Quotable Quotes Department

"...I soon got used to this singing, for the sailors never touched a rope without it. Sometimes, when no one happened to strike up, and the pulling, whatever it might be, did not seem to be getting forward very well, the mate would always say, 'Come men, can't any of you sing? Sing now and raise the dead.' And then some one of them would begin, and if every man's arms were as much relieved as mine by the song, and he could pull as much better as I did, with such a cheering accompaniment, I am sure the song was well worth the breath expended on it. It is a great thing in a sailor to know how to sing well, for he gets a great name by it from the officers, and a good deal of popularity among his shipmates. Some sea captains, before shipping a man, always ask him whether he can sing out at a rope."

-Herman Melville, Redburn, chapter 9 (1849)
