Tales for Tosh

For those of you who hasn’t realized it yet (it can't be many) - my favorite band is Great Big Sea. One of the members (Sean McCann) of the band has released a couple of solo albums, but that is not all he does. McCann is also blogging, both as himself on his own website and as his beloved beagle Tosh on Great Big Sea’s website.
Today Tosh declared war on his master – telling the world Sean is not the great songwriter, he tries to convince the world he is (maybe Sean forgot to feed him this morning?) Anyway Tosh has presented his owner with a challenge (and somewhat his fans too). He asks the fans to tell a tail of their own choosing and Sean will have to translate the very best of these into a song.

This is one challenge I can’t pass up (and I am glad Sean couldn’t either). If you wanna either read this somewhat schizophrenic argument or take part in the challenge you can do so here:

I have on a few other occaisions shared some of McCann's music on my blog - but if you should have forgotten who this brilliant (and a bit silly) songwriter is take a listen to this:
