Re: Newfoundland Guitar

Yeap sure do, Jerry and Blair Mac Lean were from my home town, Blair died about 6 years ago. Their dad worked with my dad in the coal mines of Glace Bay, They were two real funny guys and played all over Canada and the U.S.A.Remember the song, "Pubic Hair". I think I have one of their albums in a box in the attic.

Did you ever catch one of their gigs?

Take Care....Badeye.

Re: Newfoundland Guitar

I think I have an old cassette of the ''Take the O out of the Country Show'' in a box somewhere. The Fox was a good song also. I never saw them in concert but I would have love to.
They must have been a hoot!

Re: Newfoundland Guitar

Yes Mike they were a real hoot. If somebody went to use the bathroom while they were on stage when you came back you were the vocal point for the rest of the show.They made you feel small in a funny way.My pop said that their dad was an underground comedian they were always laughing in the deapths of Cape Breton. I guess you needed a sense of humor to go five miles down and five miles under the atlantic ocean.

Have a good day Mike....Brad.
