CD Downloads
Our
music page features our 7 CD's and you can play some songs from each
one - hope we have your favorites.
MORE MUSIC! Many
of you have asked for more ORIGINAL MUSIC, as well as some of our earlier
stuff, recorded when we were living in Key West. Previously, we have not
had any available in CD form, except for the "Burning Flame" CD. We are in
the process of converting our first 2 original recordings to CD, one of
which will have a cover design by the very creative Mike Pettit! We hope
to have them available by the end of February.
 Check out:
www.keysweb.info, an info
guide for the Florida Keys, which is extremely handy, especially for those
of you who are not here year round and may not be quite as familiar with
all there is to know about where things are. It is also helpful to those
who have small businesses, if you are not already listed with them, as the
listing is free! You can contact
Don Patterson, who also happens to be the
person that is designing our web site of which we are so very proud.

You too can learn every chord there is to
know with this very comprehensive online chord book. After a few short
weeks you can be playing on Duval St. in Key West. Just kidding folks, but
it is actually a very great site for anyone who does play the guitar. |
Thanks To:
In this first newsletter, we would like to give credit and thanks where it
is due, to our good friend Doc Ferland, who has been our computer
guru from day one and taught us everything we know about these music
programs, which have much potential for frustration. Through his help and
many countless hours on the phone, we have managed to broaden the variety
of our music which has grown into what it is today. So, THANKS DOC! And we
wish you and Sally all the best up there in Southport (for those of you
who don't know, it's just outside Panama City.)
Doc Ferland
We would also like to credit our good friend Scotty of
Scott Design & Advertising, for the many hours he has spent in
creating much of our graphics which include, most of our CD covers and
more recently our "byouville" header on the web site. You can contact him
off our links page if you are in need of expert
work in graphic design. Also, Scotty's wife Lissa is launching her own
gourmet dog biscuits, called "For Pet's Sake." Gotta say, if those
biscuits are as good as the fantastic meals that she has prepared for us,
there will be a lot of happy dogs out there.
For more information, contact (305) 743-2389.
Pat, Jerry & Asia
Last, but not least; How do we begin to thank you Pat & Jerry Gibbs, our
dear friends in Rotonda? Without you guys we wouldn't be building our new
home and we probably wouldn't even have this web site, because after all,
it was you two that talked us in to it in the first place! You have our
deepest love and respect. |
Welcome!
We are really excited about our new site. With the upcoming move
to Florida's gulf coast, we were really worried about losing track of all our friends and
fans we were so fortunate to make over our years here in the Keys. Now, we
can let you know where we are and what's happening in "Byouville." If you
haven't already added your name to our newsletter list,
click here. We can
send you a brief email heads-up when our quarterly newsletter comes out.
As we have told many of you in person, when we depart from the keys, late
July or August and settle into our new house in Rotonda, we have every
intention of returning to the keys at least once a month to perform at
different venues. So, please continue to check back with our schedule page
to see when and where you can find us.
Our Name?
Many people have asked over the years, where did the name "Blue Byou" come
from?
Well, back in Key West on June 28, 1992, we had our first gig scheduled
and at that point, we had no name. We thought of calling ourselves D & D,
and asked many of our friends, what they thought of it and all in all got
a less than wonderful response. And besides that, it dawned on us that
there is a trash removal service in New York, called D & D's. Playing
trashy music is the closest we've ever come to trash removal, so we trashed
that idea, no pun intended.
The song "Blue Bayou" by Roy Orbison, has always represented a place in
paradise, where carefree living and warm sunny weather is the norm.
Good-bye snow, we're ready to go. We decided "Blue Bayou" was the name for
us! We went down to the local printer to have a cheap banner made (and I
do mean cheap) and after putting our order in, we returned 3 days later,
hours before our first gig, only to find that the sign read "Blue BYOU",
oops, where's the "A"? Did we mention it was a cheap sign?
Anyway, the rest is "Blue Byou" history. Kinda' catchy, don't you think?
