Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Ag Pleez Daddy
Regerding Jeremy Taylor, I became enchanted with his songs when I saw "Wait a Minim" in Chicago in 1968. I learned his "Piece of Ground" and spent the next 32 years looking for anything about its author. I found Jeremy a few years ago on the web (JeremyTaylor.info) and corresponded with him. The upshot of all that is that I am helping him come to the US (Chicago area) for a number of appearances which I lined up for him. If anyone wants to know about these they may contact me. (Jeremy_info@Yahoo.com) He'll be here in the month of March, 2005, very soon.
And if anyone wants music from "Wait a Minim: or "Minim Bili" it can be procurred from Andrew Tracey (Prof), International Library of African Music, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa, 6140. Tel: +27-46-603.8557. His email is: A.Tracey@ru.ac.za. Andrew Tracy with his brother Paul and Jeremy were the beginnings of the Wait a Minim epic, along with its producer Leon Gluckman. The show ran for 7 years on 4 continents. Spectacular. There is a webpage about the show at: http://users.bestweb.net/~foosie/minim.htm.
