I saw Pete Seeger perform three weeks ago at the Ash Grove in Santa Monica,
CA. What a special treat. He was doing a benefit to raise money (and pay
back a favor) for the owner, a friend who helped organize concerts for Pete
in the 50's when Seeger was being blacklisted during the Communist witch
hunt. Pete's in his 70's and performed and sounded better than when I first
saw and heard him in the 1950's. I don't know if he still performs
eleswhere, but if he's ever in your area I'd sure recommend taking the
opportunity to experience a living legend. He's one of the seminal
performers who could take much of the credit for starting the folk era. I
learned to play the banjo from his book. I'll bet he had an influence on
the Kingston Trio, and maybe John too. What a contribution this beautiful
man has made. And with more than his music.

Just hearing the names of great musicians like Gordon Lightfoot, Mickey
Newbury,Stan Rogers, Ian Tyson, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Van Morrison, John
McCutcheon, Mason Williams et al warms my soul. I'm sorry there aren't
more radio stations willing to play these classics in addition to the
traditional oldies formats.
Now I have a new one for some of you. I don't know much about this guy; I
think he's from Rhode Island. He recently performed at a club near me,
The Birchmere, outside of Washington, DC. His name is David Olney. He's
sort of a blues-folk-rock type. The liner notes on his great CD called
"Roses" were written by Townes Van Zandt and I believe they have performed
together a lot. He records on Philo (Rounder Records) label. I purchased
my copy through Elderly Instruments in East Lansing, MI. (A great source
of all kinds of CD's, printed music, and instruments-- all on discount.
E-mail me if you need their phone number.) He may have more CD's- I only
know about "Roses."
Here's an example of his writing:
"It was in the morning paper, in the evening paper too
And I saw it on TV, so I know it must be true
This ain't no idle rumor, they've got the cold, hard facts
At the lab they checked it out on little mice and rats
Just in case you haven't heard I'll give you the bad news
That love's been linked to the blues"
-from "Love's Been Linked to the Blues" on "Roses" CD
Enjoy!

(Nothin' like chiming in after the train pulled out.) Nice going, Nick!
Great response to a very simply question.
And YES to Warren Zevon, too! Along with Jackson Brown, Tom Rush, Pete
Seeger, Phil Ochs, David Ackles (yes, indeed, whatever happened to him after
the all-time classic, "American Gothic"?), Kris Kristofferson (esp. his
earliest stuff), Joni Mitchell and Janis Ian.
And here's a guy you may not think of outside of his songwriting: Jimmy
Webb. (He's still around and he did much, much more than "MacArthur Park."
"Highwayman" is an out-and-out classic and he has produced a few more
numbers in recent years. His voice, though something of an acquired taste,
has an incredible edge and heart to it, all its own.)
Anyway, to wrap ...
The Kingston Trio
and of course, John.

Hallo Bob!
Yeah! That's the consert I arranged all right. I did live in Garphyttan at
that time (In Gothenburg now).
It's not me singing "Wheatfield Lady" but a guy named Totte Bergstrom. His
band accompanied (is that the right word) John in Sweden that summer.
I guess that my introduction is not on the tape, if it were you wouldn't
understand it anyhow since it's in swedish.
It was great a great time never the less because I told about the day I
found "Bloodlines", understood it was THE John Stewart from KT, took it
home to a friend of mine and how we happened to put on the B-side and just
played "Mother Country" the whole night long.
Of course I thought it was an extremely good show and I remember Andy
Fergus saying that in fact it was.

Again these are personal choices feel free to argue
#1) You Light Up My Life
#2) Unchained Melody (I know everybody loves it, for some reason it
irritates me)
#3) Any disco by Donna Summer

By the way, the lists of favorites did give a chance to go back and

As everyone has commented, our tastes in music all seem to pretty much in

However, to add my own two cents, two of my long time favorites are John
Martyn (Solid Air is indescrible) and Nick Drake.
In another vein, I have become a big fan (make that HUGE fan) of John
Doe...formerly of punk band X. His solo material is intense, as are the cds
he did with X members as a country band, called the Knitters.

That song is more of an exception than the rule on the album. Songs like
"Highway Song" (if you search the web that song still shows up on college
radio playlists), and "Prisoner" are what sold that album. I have a friend
who is a Jayhawks fan and he was stunned when he heard the album. He thought
the Jahawks had an entirely new sound. (he's youngish). Once again I'm
surprised to find in one listserve (in less than one week) people who have
heard of two artists who I thought were fairly obscure. I guess I'm in good

If I had more time, I'd run a percentile analysis of how many singers/groups

Leonard Cohen, but of COURSE! And can't leave out dearly departed Harry Chapin.
And I committed a significant sin in omitting Mason Williams, an integral
part of the Kingston Trio-Smothers Brothers-John Hartford thread.
And JOHN HARTFORD! How could I forget him! (He still navigates an occasional
steamboat by the St. Louis when he visits for a show.) Meanest banjo-picker
alive and a tremendous songwriter all 'round.
Anyone ever hear of Biff Rose? Funny, quirky and warm, to boot. Another
great 60's folksinger.
And 'course, I still love tuning in to the Peter, Paul & Mary shows on PBS ...
And on 'round we go ...
Missouri Bird,
Kent

Just off the top of my head, the song that sends me screaming from the room
is: Rock the Casbah - or whatever its name is!

Gee, I'm gone two days and I miss a whole new train of thought. I ditto many
of the artists already mentioned, but I need to add the reinvented Paul
McCartney. I just love "Flaming Pie"!
