    Rankins

    O.K., I know this has nothing to do with great big sea, but how do you feel about the Cape Breton group the Rankin family debanding? Is'nt it sad? uhDo you think it was because of the death of John Morris?

    Re: Rankins

    They've been touring for quite a while after the death of John Morris, so I doubt that is the reason. Probably they want to do some individual stuff. JImmy has been touring solo for years.

    Re: Rankins

    Heyyy, I believe they actually decided to separate before John Morris passed away because they wanted to pursue more solo-based music projects. They just finished a reunion tour last year though and have a Reunion CD in which John Morris's daughter plays a song on. Look it up on their website, you'll like it!! Also Jimmy Rankin is still plugging away and has released three AMAZING solo records. He is the one person who i believe can rival GBS for being able to change your mood with a simple lyric.

    I discoverd The Rankin Family by listening to  QJYQ an AM station from St Johns on the internet. They caught my attention and were, with Ryan's Fancy the first two CDs I actually orderd from Fred's Records in St J.

    I got Rankin Family ReunionSo this may not be the first time they took a lay off, or Reunion may just be a good word to put after FAMILY in a title.

    I like em!
