Well I hope that McCarty is better than Don Cherry! Remember "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Techno"? Yechhh...

But you gotta love it when hockey players decide to get a music career going. Makes for some damn fine recordings!

One record I would love to get my hands on is "Schony", by 1970's Buffalo Sabre Jim Schoenfeld. I've never listened to it but it's mostly made up of cover versions of tunes like "All Along The Watchtower" etc... Sounds like a classic to me!

Another one I would like to hear is a song about the NHL (I don't remember its name) recorded by "Beachcombers" legend Bruno Gerussi!

I saw Darren's band in Detroit a few month's ago and really liked them..not a novelty act. The Cd is quite good also.. Classic Motor City Rock from someone who has done his homework!
