   About Lake of Stew
The Lake of Stew began in September 2002, when Pope John Paul II issued a papal bull against the re-establishment of the Magdelene blood-lines. Eight musical warrior-monks were summoned to Mile-End in the holy city of Montreal to defend it’s children against the church of Rome. In their spare time these warrior-monks founded a magical singing congregation and composed many an ode to bodily fluids, animals and food. Currently the Lake of Stew has become disappointed with the limited pursuit of excellence it views as Roman infiltration and has decided to let its light shine in public in order to cast out the usurpers and bring joy to the masses.

My dear, dear friends

I have diminishing hopes -- not in general, not in reference to all things -- but specifically, I have diminishing hopes as regards arriving in yr country in time for albumsmas...

tremendous good will to you and all of yours.

I will drop in unexpectedly at some point in this life or in the one that follows.

I have had 'farther along' stuck in my head for almost a full year now thanks to y'uns.

Hey guys and girls,
It was a fun time playing L'Esco the other night. I enjoyed your set a lot, hope you enjoyed ours as well .I'm loving the little 45 RPM record. What an awesome sound. If your old time orchestra ever needs someone on pedal steel, lap steel, dobro or autoharp ..give me a shout !

I want to play this on Radio 3!
