Assembly Line Concert 3rd Shift Hour 24 - Alan Cayn, Fly Fishing Folk Fisherman

The Assembly Line Concert, live from AJ's Music Cafe in Ferndale, Michigan has kicked off in its third run at the Guinness Book of World Records attempt for World's Longest Concert.   This is my second year following the concert via U-Stream.  This year's attempt is 360 hours of live, continuous music!  My blog is going to cover some of the fine musicians I met last year and who will also be appearing this year.

Cheryl and Alan Cayn at AJ's last May

First up is one of the best friends I met last year - Alan Cayn.  He will be performing during Hour 24 on Sunday, March 20 at 4 pm EDT.  

Cayn is the only fly fishing folk musician I have the pleasure of knowing.   Last May, on a visit to the Detroit area, I was in house for an almost command performance by the man himself at AJ's Music Cafe. 

Alan Cayn writes fishing songs.   One listen and it is apparent he writes fishing songs because he loves to fish and he loves the stream.  He also has a touch for taking the simple act of fishing, along with his love of nature, and crafting songs with a charming philosophy of life. The sweet tones of Cayn's mountain dulcimer add to that magic. The world needs more fun songs, more sing-a-longs, and more children's voices and his album Streamside Confession delivers all that.

Cayn has said that he wants to tell stories. The stories he tells are quite interesting. Check out "Streamside Confession," "Big Ugly Bug," and the haunting fisherman's tale "Demon Angler." The most poignant offering is "In Between the Stars," which any listener will certainly relate to someone they miss, yet feel close to under the night sky. Also close to my heart is the final track on Streamside Confession, "River of Sand," a beautiful melody with references to creation and the timelessness of the cycle of the river and of life.

Join us on The Assembly Line Concert for a live Alan Cayn performance with some fishing songs and other songs that will surprise you and make you smile.
