John and Buffy played at Cameron Church in Denver just two blocks from my
house. It was an unusually warm night in December (they did Christmas
songs as an encore). We walked over fully an hour before curtain time and
there was already a long line of folks awaiting. It was sponsored by
Swallow Hill Music Association and I will never forget what a wonderful
venue that church was.

Subject: Back Home
Just talked to John and Buffy, finally back home after their time in Phoenix.
Buffy's doing great. Her face is still in a temporary paralysis, and she
needs a lot of rest, but if her attitude and laugh are indicative of her
strength, she will have a speedy and full recovery. John said she wanted to
go in and do some recording today. Her voice and balance were at risk in
this operation. Asked how her voice is, she said "Honey, I can sing really
good." She was reminded that she always could.
John said the margin of error in the long hours of delicate surgery was the
width of a thread. She had an operation that wouldn't have even been
possible just ten years ago.
Both were overwhelmed by the support and prayers that poured in, especially
from this 'Line. Buffy said she could feel the strength coming her way right
up to the surgery. Keep up the prayers for her speedy and full recovery. I
don't know if the word `miraculous' applies here, but it sure seems like
something very special has happened for her, for them, for all of us.
It gives us all so much to be thankful for.

Unfortunately, the Vogues' song is a different song. The one I'm looking for
is just called "Turn Around". Part of the lyrics go something like this:
"Turn around...turn around...turn around and your a baby with babes of your
own." And I think the opening words are:
"Where are you going my little one....little one. Where are you going...my
baby my own......turn around and your......"
Just in case you're wondering, I know someone who wants to play this song at
her daughter's wedding, and she's hoping it's the one she remembers from the

This is indeed a great version, and I have two of Michael Martin Murphey's
cowboy song CD's. However, the best version in my book was done many years
ago by Bill Staines. Does it fantastic live and on record. If anyone out here
hasn't discovered Bill Staines you owe yourself a listen, particularily his
older stuff, which can be hard to find. (It was on Folk-Legacy Records). If
you want a quick sampler check out his CD with a title like "The First
Million Miles". This guy knows the road all too well too.

Subject: Turn Around
Not watching much TV myself these days so I haven't even seen the Kodak
commercial. However, the version of Turn Around that I remember as being
popular in my youth, at least on San Francisco radio, was the version done by
Mike Douglas (the guy with the television show). My grandma even had the
album, and I remember the album cover for some bizarre reason. I have the
Belafonte version stashed away somewhere. I've always been a big Belafonte
fan. He's still got the stuff too. Saw him at the Paramount in Oakland about
2 years ago and the guy was utterly amazing. I took my mother-out-law to the
show as a birthday gift. Ended up as a treat for me.
Did someone say the Vogues 5 O'Clock World is on a TV show? I loved that
song. Must have been about Christmas 64 or 65, and I had to choose which
album to ask for as a gift. I gave my mom a list of several. On the list was
the Vogues as well as Beatles 65. I hoped for the Vogues, but ended up with
Beatles 65. Alas....

The secret shame and the Beach Boys comes about from many of my friends
believing that the Boys were exceptionally light weight and just not
significant enough, especially in a vein of our friend Mr Stewart...
Of course they weren't...they were of a completely different
genre...and some of their music and all of their arrangements vocally as
well as harmonically are truly astounding.
The hits are fine...but is in such albums as Pet Sounds, Sunflower,
Surfs Up, etal where their brilliance really is.

I belive it was the Vogues version used in the tv commercial. It was
also used, if I remember correctly, in some kind of public service ad
involving people helping people...something like Big Brothers or
something along those lines....my how the mind grows foggy.
Just to note the difference...the Turn Around song by the K Trio etc was
a a different song... the tv song was Turn Around Look At Me, a song
actually written by Glen Campbell but sometimes credited to Jerry
Capehart. It was also recorded by the Lettermen on an early lp in an
arrangment similar to the Vogues but simpler.
Back to the Beach Boys a sec....John's friend (and banjo borrower)
Lindsey Buckingham is a huge fan of the BB's and Brian Wilson...I
understand they are performing a version of the BB's Farmers Daughter on
the current Fleetwood Mac tour. The version that was on their live album
a few years back was stunning. And I repeat, Lindsey's version of All My
Trials from his Out of the Cradle cd is worth the price of admission.

Merle,
You and I ought to take this act on the road!
Dick & DeeDee's first hit was The Mountain's High. Their other top 40 hits
were Tell Me / Young & In Love / Turn Around (the song in question) and
their last hit reminds me of a story I heard about a guy arrested for
shoplifting an LP. He was caught lifting a Dick & DeeDee album called "Thou
Shalt Not Steal". True story.
River Deep Mountain High was a great Phil Spector hit that never caught on
in North America but was a hit in Europe. It was written for my favorite
60's girl singer....Darlene Love; made the top 40 by the Supremes & the
Temptations. Ike & Tina did the best job. The story has it that due to this
flop Phil Spector quit the biz.
By the way, Darlene Love had a couple of hits under her own name and was
the lead singer for The Crystals, The Blossoms and Bob B Soxx & the Blue
Jeans all at the same time. She was also a backup singer on songs too
numerous to count.

Subject: venue for AngelBravo
I've been reading the posts about possible venues for JS and performing
in a church came up. I'd like to suggest taking it a step further.
Today I attended the funeral of a good friend, coworker, and Brother
from Vietnam. It's been a hard time but the church service was at his
church, which is predominently black.
I was sitting there, having had to say a few words about him at his
wife's request, thinking about how I was never going to see his big
smile or feel his great bear hug again, at least not on this earth, when
the choir began to sing.
It's been awhile since I heard good gospel music, not since I was
living in southern Ohio. And these folks could realy deliver! Modern
black gospel has taken on some rock and this chorus had enough energy to
light up a good sized city, or a heart that was feeling dark.
They honored us with several selections and really put their hearts and
souls into it, maybe because he had been the leader of the men's chorus,
and maybe because they knew how healing it was to hear their singing.
Afterwards, while I was back at work earning your tax dollars, I
realized that their music might be worth an exploration by AB,
especially his newer music. Earthy, rocking, deep running roots, with
power and meaning to hold you.
I wonder if he's ever done anything with such a group? It might be
worth hearing.
Take care,

Roger-
I've never had the honor of seeing MM Murphey in concert, but have been a fan
of his ever since "Wildfire". Truth be told, several albums dueled for dibs
on my turntable in 79- among them were Fire In The Wind, Bombs Away, Dire
Straits, and the one that probably won, Michael Murphey's "Lone Wolf". Of
course he was just plain ol Michael Murphy in those days. Loved songs off of
that album, especially "Loners", a good one to crank up with it's driving
beat. If you haven't checked it out, look for it. Gave it and Cowboy Songs
III a spin. Don't you love that duet they did up with Marty Robbins? "Big
Iron" is a genuine classic, original Marty Robbins and redone Marty/Michael.
Other great songs on that disc....Rhymes of the Renegades, Riders In The
Sky, El Paso, Sonora's Death Row (great one that, although I like the
Moonlighter's version a heck of a lot)....
What I have come to realize from Bloodlines, especially with the recent
posts, is that what we have in common besides Mr Stewart, is a similar
appreciation for other good artists and music, regardless of genre.
It's funny, I bought the cowboy discs originally because I wanted the kids to
hear some of the good old "cowboy" songs. Saw MMM on TNN playing a couple and
talking about the project a few years ago and sought it out. Ended up liking
it a heck of a lot, but I don't know if it did much for the kids. Considering
our appreciation for Rick Nelson and Walter Brennan, I suspect we have
quite similar tastes in music Blue.

Just at the time we learned of Buffy's illness there was a lot of enthusiasm
for this tab collection idea and I voluntered to host some in Clack's Cellar.
The initial response was so favorable that Eddie volunteered to coordinate it.
The general idea is that we will have a couple sites with diferent tabs and
have them linked together. A large collection would be beyond my capacity. So
I encourage all who expressed interest before to contact Eddie to get the tab
collection together and organized.
Also, technical difficulties beyond my control at present keep me from adding
the new tour dates and other new info to Clack's Cellar. I will upate it as

many questions. The exit came without a sign of directed thought, and only
the review mirror of the past can explain how we go there in the first place.
It is as if we must get lost before we can be found, and we must accept that
which we had exception too.
"Yes there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot see." JS
