A letter from the Editor...
Hello, my name is John Carey and I have been a fan of the
music of Steve Curnutte for years and years and... sorry,
I'm just now realizing how this sounds like I am standing
in front of a support group. "Hello, my name is John and
I... I... well... I am addicted to the music of Steve
Curnutte.." only I have no idea who is standing in front of
me, just numbers on a statistics page really.
But seriously, I am a fan and I have been for years and one
day a few months back I bought the domain stevecurnutte.com
with the intention of starting up a fan site and I finally
have sat down and made some time to get it going. This site
is going to be a place for news, music, and stories from
the musical career of Steve. You will find some rare songs,
some songs from albums, some live songs, and whatever else
I manage to find hiding between.
I have been lucky enough to be on the fringe of Steves
career through the years and so I have seen him live more
times than I can remember. I have been in and out of touch
with him directly countless times the last of which was to
get his blessing to start up this site to share music and
try and get his help with a few stories here and there to
make things interesting. Thankfully he seemed reluctantly
excited about it and so here we are today. Turns out he has
been looking to get out and perform again from time to time
which is wonderful and even more of a reason to get things
started around here.
So as for the music, I have pretty much the end all
collection of music from the history of Steve including
every one of his albums both with and without a band, a
handful of recordings of live shows, and some rare demo
like recordings. While I would love to simply make all of
that available online I feel it will be best to pace things
a bit because I really dont want to have people tear
through here, steal all the music and never look back. The
idea of the site is to share the great stories behind the
music as well as share the songs along the way. This does
not mean that the albums will not be made available somehow
in the future digitally because I would love to see it
happen again so just check back from time to time for new
songs, stories, and who knows what else.
So sit back and enjoy the site, please feel free to get in
touch with me at john(at)twistedsun.net with any
questisons, ideas, comments, or stories
you would like to share or anything else of the sort.
Heres to a new site and the future of it..
