Kathy-

I'm delighted Ed's concert went well, and so sorry to have had to miss it. Our evening in the emergency room was not a good substitute for music by and with old friends! Thanks for arranging the concert.

Pleased to hear everything worked out, I'm now fully recovered from the wretched cold and Judy's about half way through it. We really thought long and hard about bring our cold to share, but it's not a good thing.

Next exciting event is Sidedoor Coffeehouse in Brunswick with Roll & Go (proceeded by open mic) on Friday, May 19, followed by another Shanty Sing at Press Room in Portsmouth on Saturday, May 20. Be there or beware!

Sorry I missed that, Kath. Ed has the words to Captain Kendall but I suspect that Gordon's delivery adds something.

Ed did a wonderful, sold-out evening at Bob and Beth Stuart's home in Rockland the next night. There was some stellar chorus singing--among the harmonizers in attendance were Gordon Bok (who sang/played several songs with Ed), Carol Rohl, Anne Dodson, Lynn Hickerson, and lots of other lovely voices. Funniest moment of the evening was when Ed and Gordon set out to do "I Knew This Place" by Dave Mallett. Gordon lost the words on the verse that begins "I REMEMBER EVERY WORD of every song I ever heard...." They both collapsed in laughter, and each time they almost got it together to start again, one of them would chuckle and they'd be off again. They finally got through the song in fine form, but not without a lot of laughter by everyone. Mary, you also missed Gordon and Carol trying to explain to Ed after the concert about G's interpretive reading of "Captain Kendall..." Much hilarity there, too. It lives!

The next concert will be Joe Hickerson on Friday the 19th, also at the Stuart's. Anyone wanting to attend should let me know, since seating is limited, and we've already taken quite a few reservations.
Cheers, Kathy

How wonderful to be in the home of Sinsull enjoying the company and music of a bunch of 'catters and the great Ed Trickett, it was a brilliant nite. You guys who didn't get here missed a rare treat. Thanks for the entertainment guys, thanks for the opportunity to meet Kendall & Jacqui & Bat Godess (again)and especially thanks for your hospitality Sinsull.

I would add that Kendall's gift was an LP by Twisted Sister. He just had to see the name to know that it was not his kind of music.

We had a great evening. It is such a treat to see good performers in these settings. We've just seen Ed off on his way to Camden to spend the rest of the day with Gordon Bok.

We've already told him to come back next year, and try and save us a Saturday night - we could get a bigger turnout as people don't have to work the next day!

Everyone is gone or gone to bed. The silence is deafening. Ed put on a wonderful concert with a number of old favorites and many I had never heard before. He is a joy to watch. Talented, knowledgeable and oh so modest. Wish it could have gone on for a few more hours but everyone is off to work in the AM and Ed has a concert tomorrow and another Saturday.

My favorite moments - a song requested by Kendall about love in old age and Richmond/The Last Letter Home. And of course "DArk As A Dungeon" with a new/old verse.

We had a birthday cake for Ed and Kendall. Both received gifts. Kendall refused his outright. Have to see if Ed leaves his in the back seat of someone's car.

Mary, what time?

It looks like my best bet is to drive up right from work. Concert. Spend the night. And hit the road around 7 the next morning directly to work. (Argh.)

Tom, of course, won't be able to make it (and probably won't be that thrilled about me being gone for so long -- from Thursday a.m. until I show up at The Press Room Friday evening.

Is Bradfordian coming? He was at The Press Room last Friday and said his other stops in the area were to see Animaterra and Ed Trickett.

I am planning on really making it this time and will need a bed. Are you planning to go to the concert in Rockland on Friday? If so, could I tag along? If you are not going, perhaps I'll just go up myself.

Hey Kathy, if I come up for Ed on Fri. where is the best place to stay?

Looking forward to finally getting up for one of your gatherings.

See you at NEFFA.

There are a few singers whom I can listen to for protracted periods of time and never get jaded with their voices. Tops on that list is Ed Trickett. He has the smoothest, easy-to-listen-to voice you are ever likely to hear. His choice of material is a wide selection of all sorts of interesting songs. Wish I could be there.

If Tom doesn't think he can do it (not sure what his work schedule will be like then), I might very well come up for food, concert and BED (skipping song circle) so I can up early and drive to work the next morning.

Put me down as a tentative, but needing a bed if I do.

House Concert in South Portland, ME on Thursday, May 4. I believe there is another tentatively scheduled further north for Friday, May 5.

Some of you met him at the Getaway last year. For those who don't know Ed:

Ed Trickett has been collecting and interpreting traditional and traditional-based folk songs for over 30 years, and has appeared on over 40 recordings and appeared on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion and other public radio broadcasts. His repertoire includes a wide range of ballads, sea songs, songs of love and protest, and an occasional song of no consequence whatsoever.

Ed Trickett is well-known to New England audiences, primarily due to his singing with New Englander Gordon Bok and Ann Mayo Muir. He accompanies himself on 6 and 12 string guitar and hammered dulcimer, an instrument that he helped popularize. Ed has a beautiful unaffected tenor voice that lulls you into enjoying a marvelous evening of music, as if joining him in his living room.

Discography for Ed Trickett:
The Telling Takes Me Home [ Folk Legacy Records ]
Gently Down the Stream of Time [ Folk Legacy Records ]
People Like You [ Folk Legacy Records ]
Echo on the Evening Tide [Folk Legacy Records ]


Recordings with Gordon Bok & Ann Mayo Muir:
Turning Toward the Morning [ Folk Legacy Records ]
The Ways of Man [ Folk Legacy Records ]
A Water Over Stone [ Folk Legacy Records ]
All Shall Be Well Again [ Folk Legacy Records ]
Fashioned in the Clay [ Folk Legacy Records ]
Minneapolis Concert [ Folk Legacy Records ]
And So Will We Yet [ Folk Legacy Records ]
Language of the Heart [ Folk Legacy Records ]
The First Fifteen Years, Vol. I & II [ Folk Legacy Records ]

Ed has also appeared as an accompanying musician for numerous other folk artists: Don McLean, Mark Spoelstra, Rosalie Sorrels, Bob Zentz, Harry Tuft, Joan Sprung, Sara Grey, Cathy Barton and Dave Para, and Sandy and Caroline Paton.
