Tim Barry live Ms. Kieslers 2nd Grade Class [mp3s]

[Guest Admin]

Tim Barry and Josh Small were recently invited to play Mary Munford Elementary, for Ms. Kieslers’ 2nd Grade Class. They not only played 3 songs which included 2 Woodie Guthrie renditions, but they also did a Munford Style version of “Shoulda Oughtta”. Their buddy, Dave Watkins, recorded the entire thing and the songs are available in mp3 format. I highly recommend everyone take a listen, the recording sounds great and the songs are so much fun with the backing gang vocals of the 2nd grade. After listening to the songs, I had the idea of asking Tim to let us put this out as a 7″. Tim and Josh could pose with the 2nd grade for the cover art. Let me know what you think.

hahaha this is why this guy rules.

at fest i was walking down the street and saw a guy on bike ride straight into a van with trailer. Since it was fest time i knew it was a band that the guy had ran into. I see Tim get out of the van help the guy on the bike up pull his bike from under the trailer. I sat and watched for about 15 minutes while all this happend. Later that night i asked tim about it and he said "If that kid would of been seriously injuried, Avail would not of played tonight..... i would of went home"

[lydiawesome]

HAHAHA That's amazing! I love the cover art idea, it could be like those old class photos you take in elementary school with the little board saying:

Mary Munford Elementary

2nd Grade

Ms. Kieslers

2008

It would be so rad.

[Guest Admin]

I just emailed tim, will let you know what he says. Maybe we will have it out in time for the Revival tour with Chuck Ragan and Ben Nichols. Speaking of, I am working on a repress of "Laurel St Demos" which we should have by the end of July. I will post a pre-order soon.

[scooterist136]

I hope Tim and Josh are down to release this. It's awesome and heart warming.

[gravitylovesdrunks]

that venue looks a lot like the kathedral.

[geezfools]

hell yes!

[adamlikesmusic]

So good. I'd love more Tim Barry releases.

[dante3000]

Am I the only one who read it as, "Tim Barry Vs. Ms. Kieslers 2nd Grade Class"?

That'd be much different.

[devilstrombone]

This is really cool. I wish my school would have had neat things like this when I was in second grade.

[ps]

These songs are so awesome.... I want Tim to come to NH and play for my kids. The 7" would be awesome.

[devilstrombone]

Oh yeah, and the 7" would be really great. I would pick that one up definately.

That'd be much different.

haha i'm glad i'm not the only one.

[murgorgoroth]

I really, really hope these get pressed. that would be amazing.

oh and thanks for the mp3's Virgil!

[AsleepOnRocks]

this is so good.

[qskapunk]

you should never hesitate about putting out vinyl, JUST DO IT!

[Guest Admin]

you should never hesitate about putting out vinyl, JUST DO IT!

it isn't my hesitation, but rather Tim not being sure about it. I forwarded him a link to this thread and hope that the reaction to this will help sway him.

[bouncingsoles123]

This is amazing.

Some artwork and stuff to go along with this would be awesome!

HOW BOUT EVEN A BOOK!!!

...okay maybe I'm going to far.

[jawbroken]

so fucking awesome! the 7" idea is great

[dante3000]

If Tim does read this:

Tim, you need to realize 7" records are the way of the future, just ask O' Pioneers!!!. Seriously though, kids have been clamoring for more Tim Barry music since 10 minutes after the last album they got (could have been either one depending on when they started listening). Sure a few live songs isn't entirely new music but it's enough. Besides if you don't sell 500 of these things in a month, I'll personally buy every remaining copy to make total sales 500.

That's the truth.

[kyle]

I'd buy this 7" in a heartbeat.

[aarondanger]

Think of the children tim...think of the children

[adamlikesmusic]

I'd definitely be up for a copy of a 7". It's awesome he played for a 2nd grade class, and I think it'd make for an awesome 7".

[vinylme]

He should give a 7 to all the kids in the class. I can see it now 10 years from now kids going through there old school pictures, opening up the envelope with 2nd grade class pictures in it and finding a record. Curiosity peaked, they play the record and smile.
