Styrofoam Flyer on Ebay

You may be unaware of a little known promotional item that circulated with the release of the "Wonder of Birds" single. In fact, I was sent dozens of these things styrofoam flyers from A&M, which subsequently were circulated to fans as freebies. There were a dozen birds, from Jays to Seaugulls, and yes they really fly.

The complete list: Jay, Eagle-Hawk, Nightingale, Great-Eagle, Garrier-Pigeon, Shrike, Buzzard, Swallow, Crow, Pergrine, Great-Tit and Seagull.

One was recently available on ebay.

Don Peris - Echoes Podcast

Last year we mentioned an interview with Don Peris on "Echoes" via WXPN. Echoes now has a podcast available for download of that interview.

"Guitarist creates parlor music for home movies in nostalgic tones
Don Peris grew up and still lives in Lancaster, PA, where he works with his
wife, singer Karen Peris in a band called The Innocence Mission. But recently
Don released a solo, mostly instrumental CD called Go When the Morning Shineth.
It's a wistful, nostalgic recording of intimate guitar melodies and subtle
backing. He says the initial concept of the album was to create soundtracks for
old Super 8 home movies, of people he didn't even know. We screen his vision in
an Echoes interview."

Looking Closer Review

Jeffrey Overstreet reviews We Walked In Song at Looking Closer.

"While I admit that this release does not have the range of subjects and sounds that have made their best releases -- Umbrella, Glow, and Birds of My Neighborhood -- such enduring, revealing volumes, I still find the delicate and evocative lyrics, the beauty of Don's guitars and Karen's voice, and the technical precision of their performances to be a generous helping of grace at the end of a noisy, wearying day. They're faithful friends who know how to restore my spirit."

Update on Japanese version of We Walked In Song

I received the Japanese version of We Walked In Song yesterday. Although some stores list the album as an 11-track CD, some list it with 12-tracks. Both are correct. Although the artwork suggests there are only 11 tracks, there is a hidden 12th track: "Shooting Star (sketch)".

Guitar tabs added

Guitar tabs have been added to the Other page for the "Black Sheep Wall", "That Was Another Country", "Everything's Different Now", "Now In This Hush", and "Revolving Man". "I Hear You Say So" and "Brave" have been edited.
