Just noticed this thread is mostly 4 years old.
Never mind, it's a topic that doesn't age fast....

Ry Cooder. He can play any song in any style. And I'll bet he's just full of stories.

I was with Marje on the choice of John Kirkpatrick, but then I thought the suggestions of Mozart and Marta Sebestyen were good calls too.

Well I would echo banjiman, not his misses but mine, not that his misses hasn't a good voice cos it is sublime but having put up with me for forty years I could sleep easy in my bed, and with no one else on the island she would chirrup away which absolutely she refuses to do in front of anyone else but me in spite of having a half decent singing voice.

Anyone who plays a double bass. We could use it as a boat to get off the island.

Well, I like Mary's vision....

But if I HAD to pick ONE... probably Stevie Ray. I would never, ever get tired of hearing him play. If I wanted someone to sing though, probably James Taylor.

We'd do some great duets : )

I won't embarrass him by mentioning his name here, but I think it would be a person I went to highschool with. Sometimes I would put my fingers on his guitar and feel the vibrations while he played & sang.

Hiya,

Maddy Prior or Rob Halford – both could be heard 100 yards away. I love Halford but he seems as if he might be quite boring to chat to. Only thing is their coats would be ruined. If I heard both of them doing a duet I wouldn't need to worry about getting off the island because I'd be dead from sheer happiness.

That's something to imagine when I'm anxious (them doing a duet, not me dying)

I debated between Christy Moore or Don Sineti, and since Don is a friend of mine, I know we'd get along. And I would definately stop if I heard Don's voice coming from anywhere.

Harrison Ford.

He actually used to play guitar in college, and was friends with one of the Everly Brothers. So I wouldn't lack for music.

And he was a carpenter. He can build us a house. And even a boat.

But who needs to get off a deserted island when you have Harrison Ford?

But I'd have nowhere near enough songs to trade...

My husband Tom Hall (Curmudgeon)...he STILL (after 25 years of married life) sings songs I've never heard him sing before.

Don Sineti. we could yell for help as boats pass within a couple miles of the Island. Plus he's a great guy, I'd never tire of singing and talking with him. Unfortunately my wife doesn't sing.

Actually my choice would be Kendall and AllanC. Between the two of them I would have a roof over my head, a clean and functioning kitchen, plumbing, food on the table and eventually a boat. All the while lots of entertainment. Jacqui and Gordon can come too. It is starting to look like Gilligan's Island.

My oldest best friend, Gordon Bok. We have known each other for 49 years and I never tire of his writing and singing.
Plus, the two of us could probably build a boat.

I'd need to keep more than my ears alive, if I were to be stuck on an island with another for any amount of time


I'd have to keep my eyes delighted too.

Any other needs I'd keep to myself about

Loved Elvis. Learned to Jive because of his music. But now that I'm older I would prefer to have someone that wrote their music. To my knowledge Elvis didn't write but interpreted songs that others did. Big Mamma Thorton wrote Hound Dog as an example. Give me someone that can write,sing and arrange music. Like the following.

David Massengill
John Prine
Ray Materick
Guy Clarke
Tom Russell
Iris Dement
Ron Hynes
Bruce Murdock
Gordon Lightfoot
Dolores Keane
Tom Waits
Jerry Jeff Walker
Tom Paxton
Arlo and his Father
Just to name a few.Great thread by the way. Keep it up.

Elvis....just think, he could sing Hound Dog to you daily, forcing you to spend countless sleepless nights trying to figure out what he means when he sings "you ain't never caught a rabbit, and you ain't no friend of mine". Can someone enlighten me here?

Probably Sam Hinton, a local folk hero of some magnitude who has recently removed to a retirement home. Sam, who I had the pleasure of meeting and swapping songs with in the home of mutual friends years ago, was a treasure of song and story and a wonderfully broad based conversationalist on subjects from literature to oceanography. I first saw him perform at the old Ash Grove, in Los Angeles, in the very early 1960's, along with Mike Seeger and the New Lost City Ramblers, Ramblin' Jack Elliott and a new singer making her debut, Jackie DeShannon.
