Aztec Two-Step

November E-News Highlights

My Fellow Americans, please vote on November 4th, 2008. It’s the greatest expression of freedom in any society, even if you dislike the candidates up for election, even if you think your favorite candidates are going to win (or lose!) with or without your vote, even if you have to wait in line for a long time before casting your vote. Also, regardless if your candidates win or lose, let’s all roll up our sleeves and get involved for the common good in our communities, our country, our world. And please, let’s end the shocking divisiveness that is strangling our great nation and come together reasonably with respect for each other and our differences, peacefully for a better America, a better world and a better way of life for this and subsequent generations. These troubled times demand that we do.

In case you missed it, our Simon & Garfunkel Songbook CD,
Time It Was will be available November 1st on our website http://www.aztectwostep.com/store.htm and at our Little Theater concert with Pete Fornatale in White Plains, NY. Here is an excerpt from the Kennebec Journal in Augusta, Maine, our first review so far:

This 28-track, 76 minute, 17 seconds-long CD was recorded live in 90.7 WFUV’s studio A and features just the two guitars and voices of Shulman and Fowler… period. And guess what — they don’t need anything else. Taking the music and lyrics of Paul Simon with the Aztec Two-Step signature style of vocal harmonies, you have not a carbon-copy of these classic songs but a true and distinctive — as well as loving — translation/transition of past to present. Add to that the thoughts, observations and narration of Pete Fornatale (he also contributes the liner notes on the booklet, as well as some fancy whistling on “Punky’s Dilemma”) who marries the music with the history of the famous duo throughout the entire album. You have a slice of musical memories realized by these equally impressive singer-songwriters. Lucky Clark, 10/23/08 http://kennebecjournal.mainetoday.com/news/local/2084305918.html

Thank you Lucky and thank you Scott Yonan of Rhode Island for suggesting the CD title, Time It Was. Thank you all for your on-going support - we couldn’t possibly do it without you!

PEACE if we want it, Rex & Neal
