"BLUENOSE" Point Est, Ile
la Vache, Haiti, 1976...A stranded 19-year-old staring out at the raging
sea that claimed the mighty vessel...Like Bluenose, he too was abandoned
to that desolate island reef. While engaging in a
treasure hunt to pick
her bones clean and turn her famous remains into furniture, the project
failed. Michael Beans stayed behind to watch camp for a crew that would
never return. In his loneliness, he wrote these songs to pass the time
and keep his spirits up. Ten years later he recorded "Bluenose" in St.
Croix with his band, "The Beans Traveling Minstrels" to mark the end of
an era. Featuring the ballad "Bluenose," the music on this CD is a
honkytonk and contemporary medley of folk, country and spiritual music.
Song List: Bluenose, By the Sea, Janalin Sails, Michael Row,
Lazy River, 45th Parallel Blues, Caribbean Feeling, Star and the
Tumbleweed
"CAPTAIN'S LOG" 1980 - 2005 - 25 years of Beans'
greatest seafaring hits. Music to sail by...this collection of
original songs are tunes that were written about the sea, from his
early days of treasure hunting in Haiti to living aboard and
touring the Caribbean on his island sloop "Esperanza." This CD is a
compilation of favorites from the charter boat captain's point of
view, arranged by the artist in a way that tells a long-winded
sailor's yarrrrn.
Song List: Sailor's Hornpipe, Esperanza,
Regatta, Bluenose, By the Sea, Diddle Doe, Down by the Bay, Caribbean
Blue, Island Bound, Soper's Hole, Janalin Sails, Ballad of Jason Black,
