Speaker 2: I have Johnny and Dairy from the band Honeymoon Sweet. Now, guys,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna admit to something here. You were in Sioux Falls,
Speaker 2: I think it was like twenty thirteen for Ribfest, And
Speaker 2: when I was chatting with the guys from Honeymoon Sweet,
Speaker 2: I discovered some of you were from the Canadian side
Speaker 2: of Niagara Falls, and I was telling them that the
Speaker 2: Soup Falls, the falls that we have in sup Falls,
Speaker 2: were far more impressive than Niagara Falls, and the guy
Speaker 2: was like, I've never heard of these, I'm not sure
Speaker 2: about this. So I had convinced him that Sue Falls
Speaker 2: and our falls were way more impressive than Niagara Falls.
Speaker 2: And there was a whole bustload of people who went
Speaker 2: down to the falls to check it out, and there
Speaker 2: was actually a photo of you guys at the falls
Speaker 2: in the newspaper the next day and it said that
Speaker 2: you were pranked by a local radio station. That was
Speaker 2: actually me, So I was the one that sent you
Speaker 2: on the Wild Goose Chase to see our falls.
Speaker 3: Hey, well, nice to talk to you, John, I'll remember
Speaker 3: I was just talking to Darren prior to this.
Speaker 4: We played there. We've played there with Love.
Speaker 2: Her Boy absolutely and it was a wonderful show.
Speaker 3: And another Canadian band, April Wine. Yeah, April Wine.
Speaker 4: Okay, they're friends of ours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent. Well thanks for having us on.
Speaker 2: John, Yeah, excited to chat you guys. Got all kinds
Speaker 2: of fun stuff you're working on. So first of all,
Speaker 2: you've got an upcoming cruise or two, because it looks
Speaker 2: like you're on the Eighties Cruise and on the Blues
Speaker 2: Cruise as well.
Speaker 4: Is that right?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Sure, So let's talk about the Eighties cruise first. Is
Speaker 2: this the first time you've done that.
Speaker 5: It's the first time we've done the Eighties Cruise, but man,
Speaker 5: we've done three. We've done several cruises. There's so many
Speaker 5: of them out there.
Speaker 3: But we've done a few before.
Speaker 1: But this will be our first one of that kind
Speaker 1: and you put on one heck of a good show,
Speaker 1: and we saw you at the Sands and it might
Speaker 1: have still been called Eighties in the Sands at the time,
Speaker 1: but we've been to that many, many years, and I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure have you been there a couple of times now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 4: I remember anywhere where it's warm time.
Speaker 2: And I sound like a stalker all these places that
Speaker 2: I've been bumping into you guys, but I think that
Speaker 2: what you do and the music we like are just
Speaker 2: such a good fit. So and then let's talk a
Speaker 2: little bit about the Blues Cruise or the Blue Cruise.
Speaker 2: What is that? And I've not heard of that one yet.
Speaker 5: That is in late August of this year. It leaves
Speaker 5: from Boston and it actually goes up to Canada for
Speaker 5: three or four days and bounces around up there in
Speaker 5: eastern Canada to sub cities, and then it goes back
Speaker 5: to Boston. And there's a lot of cool bands on it.
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure. I don't have the list in front.
Speaker 5: Of me, but if you go to Bluescruise dot com again,
Speaker 5: a lot of great, lot of great players on there,
Speaker 5: and we're well, you know, we're excited to do it.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Honeymoon Sweet. You guys have been
Speaker 2: doing this now for a bit. How long has Honeymoon
Speaker 2: Sweet been together?
Speaker 3: Johnny I started the band out of Toronto, Ontario, early eighties.
Speaker 3: I'm talking like eighty eighty one, you know. It was
Speaker 3: a cover band, and I played and built a pretty
Speaker 3: solid foundation Frost across Ontario basically basically cross Canada. Then
Speaker 3: then I met up with yours truly who's on the
Speaker 3: other lying Dairy, who had some great songs, and one
Speaker 3: in particular was a song called New Grove. Now, long
Speaker 3: story short, we recorded it, but sent it out, sent
Speaker 3: it to this one radio station and Toronto called Q
Speaker 3: one O seven started playing. They had a contest or whatever.
Speaker 3: It was our first uh you chance to radio. When
Speaker 3: they started playing the track, they got a lot of
Speaker 3: call and call in. It was a contest and it won.
Speaker 4: And this created like even a bigger buzz.
Speaker 3: And then once Jerry and I got to be in
Speaker 3: the band together as writers and he was a guitar player,
Speaker 3: we started hiring what we have now is our original
Speaker 3: band pretty much, which is lasted over three decades. We
Speaker 3: still have bands and these it like this.
Speaker 4: Not to go on.
Speaker 3: But these cruises there's gonna be people from all over
Speaker 3: the world coming to see our band, which is like
Speaker 3: really really cool.
Speaker 4: So Dary and I and the rest of the band are.
Speaker 3: Very excited to get on these cruises and we're luck
Speaker 3: we can still go play big live shows and you.
Speaker 2: Guys do such a good job. Every time we've had
Speaker 2: a chance to see Honeymoon Sweet, it has been just
Speaker 2: an amazing performance. And one of the things that was
Speaker 2: fun with Eighties in the Sand, they always wanted to
Speaker 2: make sure they had eighties bands from Canada and nineties
Speaker 2: bands from Canada as well, because they have such a
Speaker 2: following of people from Canada. One of the things that
Speaker 2: was really cool when they have like a Honeymoon Sweede
Speaker 2: or a lover Boy. You guys were huge in Canada,
Speaker 2: but you were also huge in the United States as well.
Speaker 3: We did we did okay, just let me say this,
Speaker 3: we did okay across most of the USA would have
Speaker 3: royal fans like across you know, cross, but we didn't
Speaker 3: have all the hits. I know that, I feel it again,
Speaker 3: uh charted the billboard, I know that what does it
Speaker 3: take charted?
Speaker 4: We just needed like.
Speaker 3: That one breakthrough song which we didn't have. But we're
Speaker 3: lucky enough to do other American TV shows like what's
Speaker 3: the name of that? Don Johnson ops.
Speaker 2: Miami Vice, Miami Vice.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, like cool listening watching that series, which
Speaker 3: was a really cool series, and they're playing Bad Attitude
Speaker 3: a bunch of different songs. Anyways, just needed that one
Speaker 3: big song. It would have put us over the top.
Speaker 3: But it has to happen, yea, but who knows. Let's
Speaker 3: see what happens to.
