Tony's own words:

A few years ago I did a little playing out, and became known as "the Banjo Man" at our local open mikes, mainly because no one else around here would play that "God-forsaken instrument". Played in a local band called (very aptly) the Chapter Eleven Band. We did a mixture of pop, Irish songs, sea chanteys, and drinking songs. We were pretty bad, but we had fun.

Most of my stuff here is "older" stuff. Stuff I've had on tape for years, but never really shared. Even when I did play out, I rarely did any of my own stuff. Of course, most of the places where I played there was a Hockey game going on over my left shoulder. Every once in a while I'd get a great round of applause from the audience, only to find out it was because the Bruins scored a goal. http://snoupi.googlepages.com/snoopyrolleyes.gif

The first time I played in a coffee house where people actually listened, I was scared to death!

 

Instruments:

Guitar, acoustic and electric
Twelve-String Guitar
Five-String Banjo
Lap Dulcimer
Harmonica
Kazoo http://snoupi.googlepages.com/snoopygrin.gif

I also occasionally noodle on the recorder, piano, and keyboards.

Don't do much playing or recording now, but it's really neat having a site like this to try my old stuff out on. http://snoupi.googlepages.com/snoopysmile.gif

Hi Tony, I've visited your site from time to time and sincerely enjoyed what I've found! "Sundrops" and "Some Men Seek Their Fortune" are particular favourites, but you have so much good music!! "Rain Raga", "Once He Was a Man", the list goes on... Thanks for the music! :-) Steve.

Hello Tony, Glad that you liked our music! I liked "If I had a yard of tulips" and "Sing a happy song". I was out mood in the morning but your music has raised my spirits! Fatima%)

Tony - Thanks for reading my blog. This essay really means something to me. I understand how playing for folks with Down Syndrome would really bring to the forefront the physicalness of music. I remember that when I would sing to folks with DS or other developmental disabilities. Now I have to figure out how to harness all this energy. By the way, I never thanked you for the wonderfully encouraging note you sent me. It helped a lot. Thank you much, friend.

Hello Mr. Provencher, I really like your song "Like the Wind". I was wondering if I could get a license from you to perform it and maybe put it on a CD. Jeremy Allen

Hey Tony - Just used your new Paisley skin for my page. Very cool - sixties! Thanks for making it (I'm assuming it was you - had Snoupie on it :) Thanks for the note. Talk to you soon I hope. Amy

Ma Normandie.... such a pretty piece of music. Haunting. I felt hollow and saddened when it ended. I have much to learn... and such splendid mentors in ezFolk. Thank you. Smiffy.

Hi Tony - Stopped by to hear Cruel War/How Can I Keep From Singing. How I love this piece. While I was here, I just had to listen to Ma Normandie and your poem Marguerite as well. Keep going, my friend! Keep going! Amy

Merci pour tes encouragements au sujet de mon petit film. La suite ne va pas tarder, je vais t'envoyer la totalité du scénario même si je ne mets le film que par petits épisodes (pour conserver un certain suspense!) Chris
