Bonavista on a Saturday night, there's shed parties, small house parties where you can go and listen to the latest mtv disaster. Not my cup of screech and coke should I say. Theres really nothing like listening to live music and having a few drinks and laughs with a crowd of people dancing a jig right next to ya. Thanks to Steve Abbott, Bob Little and Walkhams Gate Pub we all have a great place to enjoy great Newfoundland talent and music. Many nights I've been on the other side of the bar throwing beer from corner to corner as Steve and Bob belted out the tunes that we love and have grown on us. Every now and then me and Sharon could take a break and lean up against the bar and listen to Either Steve or Bob do what they have done for Bonavista for years, sing everything from traditional Newfoundland music to Steve Earle to Stan Rogers. After all the years of playing the pub Steve and Bob finally released an album of theirs and your favorite songs. Starting with one of my favorite Dubliner songs called Dirty Old Town that was most famously covered by the punk/irish group The Pogues. Ending with their most requested songs Venice Is Sinking. In between is a array of hand picked by Steve and Bob favorites from Bob Dylans Wagon Wheel to Stan Rogers Fogartys Cove. They also throw in there Walkhams Gate Pub's owner Harv Templemen favorite St Olav's Gate, a Tom Russel staple. The cd has beautiful production all done by Bob Little in his basement. The sound sounds professionally done in one of Canada's best studio. You can drive around town listening to Just BS with your windows down or just sit back and listen to them at home. You can find the album at Walkhams Gate Pub at anytime and this weekend the 18th of June you can come to the official CD release party at Walkhams Gate Pub and listen to Just BS in person. They will be selling cds there while supplies last so come on down and have a jig or two and sing along to Steve and Bob.
