Da Yoopers - New Cd 2006!

IT'S HERE!
DA YOOPERS NEW CD FOR 2006!

WE'VE FINISHED OUR DOUBLE CD EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

Hoolie wonders if track 41 should have been moved to track 9 while I question If I should have burped instead of farted on track 31... the headache pills only achieved in giving me a considerable gut -ache...

We've worked hard in the studio on our latest Cd, a double CD in fact! Lots of songs and skits, great comedy, great musicianship, catchy tunes and to top it off, a great concept; 21st Century Yoopers In Space!
It all takes place in the future, a time when the earths fresh water is at an all time low, and Da Yooper crew of the space ship "Lougy II" are on a mission to protect the Great Lakes from water pirates, most notably, the despicable water pirate, Borus-Da-Sprinkler.
Of course the songs cover today's important worldly topics such as:
Fishing, hunting, beagles, beer, babes, etc, and feature Da Yoopers fine musicianship, along with other area Yooper musicians who are part of Da Yoopers recording team.

Below are pics of some of Da Yooper's Recording Group at work...

Here's our good friend Goofus performing in our studio for our new album, 21st Century Yoopers In Space, "Da Water Wars." He played his "Polka-chella" and sang lead on two cuts, which really made those tunes alive and vibrant...

Here I am with our good friend Jerry Kippola in our studio. We were fortunate to have him perform some pedal steel for our new album, 21st Century Yoopers In Space, "Da Water Wars."
Ok, this was before he performed, I took advantage of the moment and had him work on my axe. Before he played I asked him not to show me up, of course he did though, he's so damn good...

Here's our good friend Ray Adamini performing in our studio for da album. Let me tell all you jazz, metal and fusion shredders out there,
THIS MAN CAN OUT SHRED ALL OF YOU!
I'm not kidding! In between takes I requested "Flight Of The Bumble Bee," he asked which key I wanted it in! I said any key, he then floored me with his own rendition!

Here I am preparing Ray for the song he's about to perform on,
" Ok Ray, It's like dis, da part should be fast, yet slow... hard, yet subtle... legato, yet staccato...
um, never mind, just play..."

Here's Ray and our long time friend Glen Adams. Glen is a fine musician and has graced many of our albums with his fine talents...

Here's our good friend Tanya Stanaway performing in da studio. She waxed magic after slapping Hoolie and I for burping...

Here's our good friend Sandy Longfellow performing in da studio. She took part in the intro for the CD...

Here's our bass player and good friend Reg, he sang a tune and played some hot bass and did some skits for the CD...

Here's Lynn, the tough female of the band, not to mention "the educated musician" of the group (she's always reminding us to watch our pitch) singing and playing for the CD...
