Argonotes Musical Repertoire
Spanning the musical gamut from A to B....
Listen in RealAudio to Our Big Appearance on National Public Radio's Only A Game, also heard Canada-wide on the CBC and around the world on US Armed Forces Radio in November 1998. It's amazing how desparate sports journalists can be for a story, and we thank reporter Dave Naylor for scraping the bottom of the barrel to put us on the air!
The band would like to state for the record that:
it has absolutely no idea what the goofy song at the end of this interview is
and furthermore
if you think the band sounds bad in this interview, wait until you hear us in person.
But wait, here's more! These stellar performances are available as MP3's or streaming RealAudio, and some of the older really lame ones are also in au or snd format.
 Surfin USAThis and the following two recordings are between 1.5 and 2 Megs in size and may take a while to download. They were recorded by our fearless leader whilst standing a little too close to the trombones at our staging area in 2002. |

| Go Toronto Argos Go Go Go It's not us playing. We found this on an old radio broadcast. We are thinking of learning this one but we're not sure if anybody can stand to hear it. Note the editorial comments by the late, great, Dick Beddoes at the end of this clip. |

| My Sharona You should see the choreography. The only way to get this band to play piano is to get them to point their horns straight into the ground. |
