Well, it's good to be back here in Woody Point. Just doing Sharecropper shows and two Passing the Time's in Trout River and a show at Jenny Galliot Studios called "A Woody Point "Time" with folk singer Mike Madigan" has been wonderful. Everyone I know goes to work....but I go to play......is so true for me. Kathy and Scout have been wonderful and patient with me and my "focus" moods. Each show is a wonderful experience but takes thought and ideas!
Next is a show on Aug 19th and then The Writers Festival on Aug 25th.....an event I am truly looking forward to experiencing. The Sharecroppers play two 20 minute sets while authors Tara Manuel and Donna Morrissey do the authors' presentations. I haven't sung my song The Kyle in quiet a while, so I'd like to sing it that night for the writers. That's the abandoned coastal steamer that is still grounded in River Head in Harbour Grace. They actually repainted this ship in 1997 for the Cabot year! Wonderful as my last verse to my song written in 1977 suggested they do this!
We're at www.thesharecroppers.net so drop in and see. Next year...2013...we are doing a 25th anniversary tour. More to come later. We started this trio in 1988 and next year 2013 will be 25 years together!! Amazing!!!
I'm at mike_madigan@yahoo.com if you need to get in contact with me!!
Cheers
Mike
