            <title>Catfish Hunters / Bosnia / New Recording</title>
            <link>http://bobryanmusic.com/news.html#8</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Well I've definitely not been keeping up here, but I'll try to bring things up to speed quickly. <br /><br />First of all, The Catfish Hunters (Terry Hann & Myself,) returned in the first week of June from a whirlwind tour of Bosnia where we played in 2 venues in the city of Mostar, 2 venues in the city of Sarajevo and one venue in Breza, about 35 minutes outside Sarajevo. The trip went amazingly well and I should probably post some pics. <br /><br />We put together some new material for that series of gigs, all of which came together rather well. So I have begun planning a new series of recordings, which we'll do together under the "Catfish Hunters" name.  <br /><br />Some of the song titles we're considering:<br /><br />Susanna (a re-working of an old folk standard)<br />Wire in the Sky<br />It's the Law<br />Somebody Already Walked that Road<br />Mirror (originally intended for "The Spirit of Andy Devine")<br />Sleeping Through the Night<br />The World's Longest Train<br />My Lost Love's Cry<br />Maricopa Blues<br />The River And the Road (Originally appeared on the demo disk "Down Here On the Surface")<br />No Distance (Originally appeared on the demo disk "Down Here On the Surface")<br />Before the Winter Frost (Ha! Surprise, Terry! you haven't heard this one yet!)<br />Outlands   (originally intended for "The Spirit of Andy Devine")<br /><br />We hope to start recording before the end of July.]]></description>

            <title>Trip to China / New Song</title>
            <link>http://bobryanmusic.com/news.html#4</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Just recently returned from 10 days in Kunming, China (and a brief stop in Beijing)  Now, I'm not a youth worker but I had the opportunity to do a couple of "Chapel" times for the International school in Kunming (thanks to Daniel Tannous and Danielle Zinn for use of their guitars...) and I ended up writing a new song for the occasion when I was there. So here's the lyrics:<br /><br /><br />You&#8217;ve Got it Wrong<br /><br />You may think you know me<br />But you don&#8217;t really know me<br />You can&#8217;t see inside me<br />To the part of me that&#8217;s holy<br />Past the skin and bone<br /><br />I can see you&#8217;re lonely<br />Though you say you don&#8217;t want to know me<br />I can see you feel so small<br />You have to pin me to the wall <br />So you don&#8217;t feel alone<br /><br />But you&#8217;ve got it wrong; you&#8217;ve got it wrong<br /><br />You may think you can deny me<br />Climb above me; make me nothing.<br />You may think you&#8217;ll prove you&#8217;re better<br />Laughing at me; tough and bluffing<br /><br />But you&#8217;ve got it wrong; you&#8217;ve got it wrong. <br /><br />There&#8217;s someone who knows me<br />Someone who really knows me<br />There&#8217;s someone who says He loves me<br />Says he&#8217;d pay a ransom for me<br />Someone who is strong<br />Says you&#8217;ve got it wrong<br /><br />Someone who is strong says you&#8217;ve got it wrong.<br /><br /><br />March 10, 2009 / Kunming, China<br />Â© 2009 By Bob Ryan, published by Leaping Armadillo Music (ASCAP)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[my myspace page now contains a video created by my sister, Amy Arend (ajarend.com) using video footage and an occasional still shot of our family -- containing some footage directly referred to in the song "All the Good Things." Some of the early video footage dates back as far as 1955. You can see the "little roadside tavern (Leslie's) my grandma counting the change, we "walking with my mother down along a river where the leaves were green and yellow," and my grandfather's old blue Buick --- The "Blue Goose."<br /><br />The YouTube link:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X56cCTkW3w">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X56cCTkW3w</a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[If you've enjoyed either of the CDs you've purchased from me -- you haven't? hmmm OK that's a different sales pitch. Go buy the CDs and come back here:<br /><br />If you've enjoyed either of the CDs you've purchased from me -- or both -- tell a friend. We've got lots of disks to move here and the more we sell, the faster we can crank out another. <br /><br />OK that sounds a little mercenery, but I've got two disks worth of stuff percolating and new songs coming all the time. What's a guy to do?<br /><br />And thanks for supporting the music!]]></description>
