Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 08 Aug 01 - 12:20 AM You didn't specify if it was a GOOD dream or a BAD dream. My BAD dream gig would be where my guitar was strung with all "B" strings. (Thanks, Kendall.) Seamus |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: alison Date: 07 Aug 01 - 08:11 PM funnily enough Mick I was thinking of the same thing *grin*... I'd love to be able to meet up with a heap of mudcatters and have that gig......... slainte alison |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: kendall Date: 07 Aug 01 - 08:01 PM I think it already happened to me, The TODAY show. However, for pure pleasure, a gathering of Mudcatters with each one performing for half an hour. |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: GUEST,Harvey andrews Date: 07 Aug 01 - 07:50 PM How could I forget Phil Ochs? I've just found in my loft a tape of him teaching me two of his new songs "Flower Lady" and "Cannons of Christianity" and I realise this is a precious artifact. The next time it's played it goes straight to digital. |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Rick Fielding Date: 07 Aug 01 - 07:19 PM Sounds fine John, but I hope you'll wait for Yoko to leave before you start the last part! She would NOT be amused. Rick |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: GUEST,John Lennon Date: 07 Aug 01 - 05:04 PM Lots of feedback, some avart-garde screaming from Yoko, making love on the stage after everyone left John |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 07 Aug 01 - 04:59 PM A command performance for the English Queens. Elizabeth and Elton John |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Benjamin Date: 07 Aug 01 - 04:54 PM I've always wanted to play on Letterman. As for others I'd like to play with, Al Green tops the list. Then Ana Vidovic. Or maybe it's the other way around. The nice thing about dreams is they come out exactly the way you want them. Unless it's the kind that you have in your sleep. Those can take a turn on their own. |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Justa Picker Date: 07 Aug 01 - 03:27 PM Doing a concert and performing on stage with Doc Watson, Merle Travis and Chet Atkins, and then backstage after the show in the dressing room, all three of them picking my brains wanting me to show them all my different licks so they could steal them for future use. |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: jmdornan Date: 07 Aug 01 - 03:10 PM hee hee they don't have the right to bear arms or arm bears for that matter. :) |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 07 Aug 01 - 02:33 PM I have I nightmare that I move the audience to tears with my voice an dthey can't get out and they are armed! :) |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Big Mick Date: 07 Aug 01 - 02:33 PM Damn Harvey.........you would give up the gig I described for THAT bunch of neer do wells????????? hahahahahahahaha. What a night that would be, eh? Mick |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Rick Fielding Date: 07 Aug 01 - 12:32 PM Well.....Harvey let me open for HIM in Toronto, so I was guaranteed a full house, and that's always nice. But last year I HAD one of those dream gigs, and I'll always remember it. Almost 10,000 folks in the audience. 9,995 of them were there to see Gordon Lightfoot return to his home in Orillia, but I was thrilled to be on the program. Harvey, how 'bout if Phil Ochs showed up at your "dream show", just to "keep 'em honest"? Rick

Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: jmdornan Date: 07 Aug 01 - 12:25 PM I guess i'm very selfish here... I want to stun an audience and move them to tears with my voice... and get paid to do it... Jill |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 07 Aug 01 - 12:21 PM For me it would be some benefit or occasion where I have been commissioned to write the theme song. "Save the toddy cats" something like that. |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Jim Krause Date: 07 Aug 01 - 12:15 PM A Prairie Home Companion with the Euphoria Stringband. Failing that, I like Rick's idea of playing for twenty really interested people who paid $100.00 each, and no sound system. I could almost live on the proceeds of that concert for a year. Almost. Jim |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: GUEST,harvey andrews Date: 07 Aug 01 - 12:11 PM I have a dream..... I've opened the concert, all has gone well. Job done I settle in a front row seat to watch my fellow performers do their stuff. First of all Harry Chapin, then Stan Rogers, then a cameo performance by Kate Wolf..interval... followed by Steve Goodman, followed by the legendary 66 year old singer/songwriter Buddy Holly doing an acoustic set with a guest appearance by John Lennon. Then I go backstage to join them for a final song to a packed house....and wake up in a cold sweat. |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Clinton Hammond Date: 07 Aug 01 - 12:06 PM The Ark, sure... Better... Austin City Limits... with Stephen Fearing as my opening act! LOL!!!! Failling that, I'll take Ricks last option, for 500 Alex... ;-) |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Rick Fielding Date: 07 Aug 01 - 11:53 AM Any gig that didn't depend on a Rock-oriented sound person getting the music out to the audience. Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,!! (apologies to officer Toody) A concert for twenty REALLY interested people who'd payed 100 bucks a head....with NO sound system! Rick |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Big Mick Date: 07 Aug 01 - 10:40 AM I know a fair amount of performers of varying degrees of reknown. But the gig I would give anything to perform in would be in an Ark (folk club in Ann Arbor, MI, USA)type setting. I would be performing with Caroline and Sandy, THE FAIR ONE, Dan Milner, Art Thieme, Tony Burns, Justa Picker, KT, JenEllen, Chanteyranger, The Johnson Girls, Bok-Muir-Trickett, Rick Fielding, Jed Marum, Seamus Kennedy, Arlo Guthrie, Kendall Morse, Max, Bert, MaryMac, THE FAIR ONE, Liam Tiernan, Peter T., Kath Westra, Jeri, Barry Finn, Curmudgeon and Bat Goddess, Naemonsen, momnopp, LaMarca, Shula, El Swanno and the formidable Miss Pam, Bill Sables, Wolfgang, THE FAIR ONE, and anyone else I have left out. The audience would be Spaw, Spaw's family, and friends. Shit, ......... I have just described the FSGW Getaway. Mick |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: MMario Date: 07 Aug 01 - 08:35 AM a) paid, at a decent rate...anywhere.... b) Maryland Ren-faire - in a duet with Bosun Peg! c) FSWG Getaway |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 07 Aug 01 - 04:06 AM ...and Lonnie says:"Take a kazoo solo, Roger"! RtS (more realistically, one where someone says:"Hey, Roger, that was in tune and you remembered all the words"!) |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: mooman Date: 07 Aug 01 - 04:03 AM Dear Marion, I know West Mabou hall and would be pleased to accompany you there next time I'm in CB. For me a dream gig is any gig where people really enjoy themselves. That can be 20 people or less or 1000 and the venue is immaterial for me. All the best mooman |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Peter Kasin Date: 07 Aug 01 - 01:48 AM Going to heaven and singing chanteys with Ewan MacColl and A.L. Lloyd. |
Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Benjamin Date: 07 Aug 01 - 01:28 AM Sidney Oprea House. Not entirely sure why. Carnegie would be great as well. I'll be playing Benoroya next month! It's another hall I've dreamed of since it was built. West Mabou Hall in Cape Breton on a Saturday night? If I'm ever in the area, I'd love to accompany you! BMW |
Subject: What's your dream gig? From: Marion Date: 07 Aug 01 - 01:07 AM Survey question: tell us about the gig you dream of doing someday. Could be a question of place, or occasion, or who you share the stage with... I thought of this question because Little Neo has mentioned Carnegie Hall a few times - is that still the goal, Bonnie? I wouldn't mind playing a dance at the West Mabou hall in Cape Breton some Saturday night. I'll need an accompanist, so if there's a pianist or guitarist out there who can't think of an answer, you can volunteer to come with me. Marion |
