http://pernicebrothers.com/manny/Listen to a fun song, make a donation to Boston First Night.
This is a new song by Joe Pernice , recorded in South Boston . He had help performing it by Bob Pernice, Jose Ayerve, Laura Stein and Kara Pernice Coyne. It's called Moonshot Manny (Pega Luna).
It's an interesting time to be in Boston. Red Sox Fever is palpable. Every other person on the street is dressed in Red Sox gear. The public gathering places without big screen TV's are dead any night the team is playing. The hope that a Red Sox fan carries in his or her heart for 364 days a year is surging. Possibilities exist. Dreams come true.
Dreams do come true, as was witnessed last Wednesday, when a guy named Frank called the First Night Boston people, after reading in the Globe that they couldn't afford the midnight fireworks this year, and said he was sending them a check for $50,000. We don't have $50,000, but since the cheap digital recording equipment we used to record this was largely paid for with money from First Night gigs over the past few years, and the Red Sox are as Boston as First Night, the Fourth of July on the Esplanade, the Zakim Bridge, the Marathon, and so on, we thought we'd take this opportunity to exploit one Boston Institution (the Sox) for another (First Night) thereby maximizing the exploitation of another future Boston institution, Dorchester's Ashmont Records, home of Joe Pernice 's recording projects. It's really just a cheap publicity stunt. But it's also a great song. And a great cause. All proceeds will go to First Night Boston.
We thought this was especially appropriate, since the aforementioned hope that Red Sox fans carry throughout the year, is similar in quality to the hope with which Bostonians greet the New Year on First Night.
So, if you download this song Moonshot Manny (Pega Luna Manny) we ask that you donate at least $1.00. Clicking the button below will take you to Paypal where you can make your donation. After payment, you will be returned to the download page. There are no plans to make this song commercially available, because it was just recorded last Thursday, and by the time we get it replicated, the Sox will have won the World Series, and it won't be as timely.
