"A COUPLE OF BLAGUARDS"
WITH MALACHY MCCOURT
"A Couple of Blaguards" is a
two-character comedy with
incidental music, created by
the brothers Frank McCourt
and Malachy McCourt. These
master raconteurs have laced
their combined experiences
growing up in Ireland, and
their escape to America into a
vaudeville of comedy, Irish
songs and a gallery of
relatives, rogues, fools and petty tyrants - priestly
and otherwise. - Lynne Heffley, Los Angeles Times |

PIANIST GEORGE WINSTON
Winston is best known for his
melodic rural folk piano style and
has always acknowledged that his
main piano influences are the great
New Orleans R&B pianists.
George Winston is a consummate
Contemporary composer and
performer who's achieved both
commercial and critical success. His
lilting, lyrical piano style is perhaps
the defining sound of the Windham Hill label,
conjuring seasonal images in impressionist, musical
paintings. Winston draws on jazz, blues, pop and folk
for his compositions, creating a sparse, dynamic and
moving blend. His music is so intensely personal and
draining, it makes sense that so much time passes
between each of his albums. Winston has also written
emotive music for films such as The Velveteen Rabbit
and Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. - Jeff K. |

The "Cast" is the first, the
original and one-of-a-kind
representation of the
musical power and prowess of the Beatles, featuring

closest thing to the real thing." - Boston Herald |
