My book and our Stompin' Tom Show are touring together 

Last week at this time, we were preparing for our sold-out show at the Moonshine Cafe.  A few hours after we left the stage, we began to drive east to begin our 4th tour of Eastern Canada.

Our soundman at the Moonshine show was Brian McCullough, a legend in our industry having produced sound for the Good Brothers and many others for decades.  He took my book (My Good Times With Stompin' Tom) home that night and a few days later, he sent me this review:

Hottest new act coming to Ontario - Over The Moon Band 

Whiskey Jack alumni (from the 1980's), Craig Bignell began to appear on my feeds a few months ago.  Along side his wife and music partner, Suzanne Leveque, they call themselves Over The Moon.  The first time I really sat up and took notice was when they began to post photos of their tours of China and Great Britain.  "Holy shit" I said to myself.

Then new recordings, Juno nominations and more began to appear.

My new (second) book was sent to the printer and will be available soon.  

Stories Not Fit For The Stage - An Anthology

56 Stories by 37 Authors including Adrienne Clarkson, Jim Cuddy, Gordon Lightfoot & more.

 

 

Whiskey Jack supports the national boycott of all things American and since Bezo's company Amazon is selling pirated, unauthorized copies of Duncan's first book, this new book will only be available in hard copy in Canada.    To learn more about the Amazon theft, click on this link.   

"STORIES NOT FIT FOR THE STAGE - An Anthology" 

56 stories by 37 authors

by Duncan Fremlin & Guests  

Available at www.helloOutThere.ca or...email me at info@hellooutthere.ca

It is a collection of tall tales, confrontations, anecdotes and encounters—some accidental, some not—with music and entertainment figures - familiar names contributed by the Canadians who were in the room.   

The book might have been called "Name Dropping 101" since the stories are about or written by.... Johnny Cash, Donald Sutherland, Eddie Shack, Mr. Dressup, Paul McCartney, Bob Hope, Farley Mowat, Prince, Ani DiFranco, the Hells Angels,  Steve Martin, Gordon Lightfoot, Mr. Tease, Mac Wiseman, Milton Berle and many more.
