Honestly, It wasn't planned...

Wilkes-Barre, PA.

It started of like every other
cellular telephone call with one exception, this
one had been one year in the making. Nick "the Captain"
Prokopchak had landed in Philadelphia Saturday afternoon
and was setting a course from India to his home in Northeast
Pennsylvania. He called Kevin McGroarty and invited him to
a local pub to share a drink. After all these two original
members of SE7EN SOUTH had not been together since the
release of the first album : Alblumo Uno, in March of 2006.
Nick said some friends were playing as an acoustic duo at the
bar, and he was eager to see them. McGroarty agreed, but said
it would be late when he could attend. Later that evening
McGroarty received a voice mail from SE7EN SOUTH guitarist
George Stuscavage, that George was in a crowded pub and thinks he
sees Nick "The Captain" on stage playing congas with an guitar
duo who just happen to be (studio bassist on Alblumo Uno Dave
Cupano) and area guitar legend Big "Daddy Dex". Around 11:30
McGroarty arrives and four of the ,Jane Adonizio from the first album
are together in over a year and a half. During the music intermission,
someone had dropped a few quarters in the jukebox and selected
"Jane Adonizio" off the first album, and the four stood looking
at each other as to who was the culprit, turned out to be just one
of those strange dynamics that happens. Drinks, and toasts were
shared and a few short stories, including the upcoming schedule
for Nick "The Captain" who is landing in Bagdad some time in February.
The evening ended on a musical first Guitar George joined the band
for a curtain call of "Tush" by ZZTop. (Only George doesn't know the
words...again . :)

Straight Jacket Blues

This theme song for the Se7en South Band is also the fifth featured song on their Alblumo Duo CD. The vocals of Kevin McGroarty allow us to travel, with a humorous roundabout, to odd and strange places to stay, e.g. the psychiatric unit of a local hospital. The subject of the song, which can be girls in straight jackets or people in straight jackets, find they are all tied up with no where to go...except in their head. Communication in psychiatric hospitals seems like a foreign language on holidays to strange places.

Tomato Whoopie at the green tomato festival juliette

Kevin McGroarty's parady of loving the tomato growing process on Se7en South's Alblumo Duo CD has, by far, the best tomatoes growing tips. From a little rain, a little earth, a little seed, a sunshine burst all of which can lead to the best growing fall tomatoes, especially russian red tomatoes. It doesn't matter if the harvest is from an outdoor tomato garden, indoor tomato garden or container growing tomatoes, the fresh and sweet tomatoes can be used to make homemade tomato soup, used in whoopie pie recipes or made into homemade sauce for the big tomato pizza co. I can only say it's...just like magic on a vine!

Kentucky Diva who likes Moonshine

Se7en South Alblumo Duo features vocals by Kevin McGroarty and some mean violin playin' by Kyle Hiedacavage on the third track entitled Kentucky Diva, a goddess-like woman who likes the home-finger-lickin goodness of kentucky moonshine. The seven herbs and spices is very similar to those used in kentucky fried chicken that is eaten by many a vistor to kentucky state parks. The endangered species in kentucky learn to make moonshine at an early age using grandpa's easy moonshine recipe especially his favorite moonshine mash recipe. Many of the university of kentucky cheerleaders and the university of kentucky football team have many stories of wild off campus moonshine parties. For proof of the good times just visit the somerset kentucky gallery.

Gas Pumping Girl

Gas Pumping Girl is the second song on the Alblumo Duo of the Se7en South band and was brought out of the Se7en South archives originally recorded in 1997. When listening to the vocals delivered by Kevin McGroarty, many people would probably envision a photo of naked girl at chevron gas station pumping gas; when, in fact, it is actually a story of a motorcyclist who watches from his rear view mirror the filling station vanish where his heart has stayed swooning over an angel pumping gas (female mechanic) or generally, people pumping gas. Not to be confused with female gas pedal pumping or plain ole gas pedal pumping. However, the motorcyclist has received many tips on pumping gas, the most important of which is the danger pumping gas with cell phone.

Visit Coconut Island with Tropical Sunsets

The first cut of the Se7en South CD is Coconut Island and it rolls like a travel agency ready for a tropical cruise. Jim Frushon suggests that the song on a Coconut Island is best used for conga lines around the office, played at a maximum volume or try it on a rainy day.

You will find that the music cd case covers quite a unique cd baby. You can picture tropical island photos from the air, as well as visualize a tropical island sunset, all while eating a cheeseburger in paradise. Or maybe you are more into searching buried treasure maps in library or while sitting under coconut trees, looking through buried treasure maps for buried treasure on Florida's west coast. No matter what suits you, this song will have you humming along in no time.
