We're Back!!!!!!!

posted ‎‎Apr 30, 2009 12:02 PM‎‎ by Bob Millett

Here it is, spring again. Flowers are blooming, the robins are back and I can see my driveway again! And we are rarin' to rock and roll. We spent most of our winter since New Years studiously recording some of our songs so we can produce a CD that feels like us. Each song was recorded in their entirety at one time so we could reprorduce that "live" feeling. Our goal is to have a recording that represents us, as you hear us in the audiene. All that is left to do, now that the hard part is done, is do what is called a "mix down". This is a process where we listen to the song and adjust the volume levels for each instrument and balance the sound before we commit it to a CD. Our hope is we'll have a complete, finished version by early June. After that you'll be able to have your very own official Passport CD copy to enjoy any time you like!
 
We are starting back with an open dance that is held at the Penetanguishene Curling Club on May 9th. This is a fund raiser and your help would be appreciated. And you can have a good time with Passport. Dance and sing the night away.
 
Hope to see you soon.

Happy Holidays!

I can't believe that winter, Christmas and New Years is here already! It seemed like I was just in shorts, sandals and tee shirt, writing the wrap up to the 08 summer season and thanking everyone for their participation and here it is snowing and blowing with only 27 days to New Years.
 
This holiday season we are performing for many private holiday functions and I'm sorry to say no public events. We do have a very limited number of tickets available for a New Years dance, less than 20, but these are going fast. Please see the past announcements on how to purchase a ticket.  But never fear we have a bucket full of open events starting in 2009 and hope to see you all there. We are still discussing the possibility of an open dance for the spring that will be a theme dance. Maybe Valentines or perhaps St Patrick's Day or even a Spring Into Summer dance, but at this time all these are just ideas with no substance. Please watch this site for any more information about these events.
 
So having updated you as to what we are doing for the next couple of months, it is now time to say, "Have a safe and fun filled holiday season with best wishes from your friends of Passport."

Time Off and Thank You!

Well, it's that time of year where we, Passport have our holidays and catch up time. As most of you know we play almost every weekend and some week days during the summer months of May through September. So we use this early fall time of inactivity to recharge our musical batteries (so to speak). So Bruce is off on a Caribbean cruise (LUCKY GUY!)  A couple of the Gang will be taking vacation time to go north for hunting and fishing fun. Some of us will be enrolling in night school activities and with the rest of our "free" time, as we all hold down full time jobs during the day, we'll spend with our families and friends.
 
It's now time to concentrate on learning new tunes to be played during the up coming holiday season. And also, due to many fans requests, we are going to spend some time laying down some tracks for a CD which we hope will be available shortly after the new year. This recording will by no means be a professional job, just something we'll cook up in the practice dungeon! Don't forget to add your favourite song to our request list from the link on the left of the page.
 
This summer was one of the best times we had as a group and we are  happy that you joined us on our musical journey this summer. From the island shores of Giants Tomb Island and the Aquapalooza gang, to the Summer Dock Party in Midland to those very festive and relaxed gigs of Music in the Park, Little Lake Midland and the Friends of the Centennial Museum in Penetanguishene, our musical appetite has been filled! For now.
 
Thank you all for a great summer and we hope to see you all this coming holiday season. Be safe and well!
 
Your friends from Passport - Bob, Dana, Roy, Rene, Claude, Bruce and Mike
