Subject: RE: rave on From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 25 Jul 01 - 12:00 PM Spaw, the cover photo on my "Chirping" Crickets album reeks of the image George H recalls. I was only ten at the time, but I don't recall Buddy causing consternation like Jerry Lee Lewis did, among others. |

Subject: RE: rave on From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Jul 01 - 10:49 AM I dunno' George.........Parents didn't find him all that squeaky at the time and most DJ's originally thought he was black. Spaw |

Subject: RE: rave on From: pavane Date: 25 Jul 01 - 10:41 AM Jen, I think your Rave On words may be slightly inaccurate in places. I will look it up later, but I think it was WITH ME rather than TO ME. And it is not present at all, the first time. Or am I being too picky? |

Subject: RE: rave on From: GeorgeH Date: 25 Jul 01 - 10:16 AM The Steeleye "Rave On" is also the title track of a compilation LP (mainly of those "usual suspects"). Not at all sure about Holly as the King of Rock and Roll, though; far too much of a smooth, approved by parents image, IMO. (Not a comment about the standard of his work, merely about where it should be positioned in the music of that time . . and so not really relevent to anything!) G. |

Subject: RE: rave on From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Jul 01 - 11:02 PM February 3, 1959, 5 miles from the airport in Mason City, Iowa. Garrison Keilor's monologue on PHC about it was one of his very best. Spaw |

Subject: RE: rave on From: GUEST,Marymac Date: 24 Jul 01 - 09:51 PM I was gonna say that I had just heard it was the anniversary of Holly's plane going down, but then I remembered--I heard that on a REbroadcast of a Prairie Home Companion show from the winter of 1999, which marked 40 years since that fateful night.... But then, that's getting into another song! |

Subject: RE: rave on From: mousethief Date: 24 Jul 01 - 01:35 PM He was an innovator par excellence. It's sad he had to die so young. Who knows what he might have invented/discovered? Alex |

Subject: RE: rave on From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Jul 01 - 01:33 PM I just liked Buddy....period. The real king of rock 'n roll............I play Buddy every couple of weeks just 'cause I need a "fix." Hard to tell where he might have gone. Spaw |

Subject: RE: rave on From: JenEllen Date: 24 Jul 01 - 01:21 PM He's right, that version is wonderful too. It's probably my favourite cover of all time. Worth looking up the album for. Best of luck, ~J |

Subject: RE: rave on From: 8_Pints Date: 24 Jul 01 - 01:00 PM Hi Rasta, I have a vinyl LP, "Cloggs" circa 1972 on which Steeleye Span (including Martin Carthy, Maddy Prior, et al) sing a totally unaccompanied version of Rave On ... and it is tremendous! Bob vG
