Subject: RE: Roy williamson From: Rick Fielding Date: 18 Jul 01 - 11:23 AM Hi Joe Clone. "I'm not familiar with his music".... Get familiar...the guy was an absolute "MONSTER"! Brilliantly innovative (check out the instruments he designed and built, called "Combolins") with a lovely sense of harmonic arrangement. One of the best things about this music is that constant new discoveries await us all. In the late sixties I first heard the Corries, but being somewhat "anti-commercial" I never really checked ALL their stuff out, figuring if they were so popular they wouldn't be that interesting. 10 years later I bought an album, and LOVED it. Yup, their biggest cross to bear was that they sold lots of of records...but they did some wonderful stuff. Try some, you may love it too. Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: Roy williamson From: TamthebamfraeScotland Date: 18 Jul 01 - 10:14 AM When I put the BS thing on about Roy Williamson, it should be a celebration of his life. I removed the BS. The BS is mainly for discussion unrelated to music in any way. I'm not familiar with his music, but I'd guess Roy was related to music in a big way, and I hope to shortly read about it. --JoeClone |

Subject: Roy williamson-memories From: TamthebamfraeScotland Date: 18 Jul 01 - 09:54 AM As it's fast approching August, eleven years ago Roy Williamson of the corries died, I was just wondering if there was any one out there who has fond memories of either Roy or the corries. Tom |
