Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Jeri Date: 30 Dec 00 - 10:48 AM I wouldn't call her a recording artist, because she wasn't primarily known for recording. Just singing. Jeannie Robertson. Jean Ritchie, too. I'd probably just sit there slack-jawed and wide-eyed though... In my younger years, I probably would have picked someone like Jackson Browne, or (don't laugh) Elton John. These days, it's getting harder to find people who grew up in a firmly rooted family singing tradition, and I would love to just sit there and listen to stories and songs illustrating how it was. |

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: kendall Date: 30 Dec 00 - 01:30 PM Guess I've been lucky having spent time with Tom Paxton, Pete Seeger, Wilf Carter (he let me play his custom Martin).Tommy Makem, Gordon Bok, Dave Mallett,Ramblin' Jack Elliott the Patons, Joe Hickerson, and a host of less well known but excellent musicians. I'm still looking forward to meeting Rick and Seamus. |
Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Rick Fielding Date: 30 Dec 00 - 01:57 PM Wilf carter! What a gentleman he seemed to be. My gawd he sang for a long time. Kendall, any chance you could share some of the dynamic of your meeting with him? I opened for him once, and he was very friendly. Must have met thousands of fledgling singers but he took the time to shake hands, ask where I was from and tell me to "warm 'em up for me, son". You bet I was thrilled! Rick (avoiding the snow shovelling I MUST do) |

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Dec 00 - 02:41 PM Mozart, if only to fool myself that he wrote that aria from Queen of the Night for me to sing...... and only if I get to wear the costume she wore in the film 'Amadeus'.... Hildegard of Bingen is not difficult to find, I have at least 4 of her CDs, very relaxing, very thought provoking and extremely beautiful. Try reading her books too. She even has a cookery book, based on the recipes she allowed in her convent, simple, wholesome and nutritional. Wish I could find a copy of it..... LTS |
Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Morticia Date: 30 Dec 00 - 03:06 PM Sandy Denny.....oooooh, or Richard Thompson....but then there's Kirsty McColl and Joni Mitchell and Stan Hugill and Cyril Tawney and .....oh man, this is too hard for me. |

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: kendall Date: 30 Dec 00 - 03:45 PM I met Stan Hugill...I was supposed to send him a tape but, alas, never got to it... My meeting with Wilf Carter was brief. At that time, I was about 16 and had grown up with his music, living so close to Canada and all. He was quite impressive, tall great entertainer... I told him I was just learning guitar, and he handed me his Martin. While I was making love to it, he told me the history of it. And, we also got into why he drove a Chrysler instead of a Cadillac. Claimed he had worn out 3 Caddys, and the Chrysler held up better over all. Anyway, Rick, he came across as a genuine nice guy who really appreciated people who liked his music. (kinda like you) That was 50 years ago, so, the memory is dim. However, the lasting impression is, I'm so glad I met him. He is still a hero of mine. |
Subject: RE: One hour ... From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 30 Dec 00 - 05:12 PM "Recording" includes writing, and always has. So Hildegarde and Wolfgang are available choices.
Just because we've got other ways of geting a record as well these days, we don't have to junk the language. (The same way "computing" includes doing sums in your head or with pencil and paper as well as with these clever electronic devices.)

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: GUEST,Steve Latimer Date: 30 Dec 00 - 06:12 PM There are a number that I would like to meet. Dylan, Johnny Winter, Taj Mahal. Would have liked to have met Robert Johnson, Son House, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Little Walter. But to spend an hour of conversation with? Willie Nelson, hands down. I think that Willie would be more multi-dimensional than the others. He just seems like such a fine person, it would be a treat to talk to him, we might never get around to music.

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Susanne (skw) Date: 30 Dec 00 - 06:33 PM MAG, don't kid yourself! It didn't help me, anyway - I'd still spend another hour with him, preferably on our own so his bloomin' girlfriends don't get in the way ... |

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Ebbie Date: 30 Dec 00 - 10:37 PM Jon, I forgot about Mick. He's a fascinating man I would gladly talk with again. And Tommy Sands- maybe even especially Tommy. Rick and Kendall, I almost chose Wilf Carter at the beginning- He was my second musical hero right after Elton Britt. I never met either of them, of course. Ebbie |

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: kendall Date: 31 Dec 00 - 07:56 AM I forgot about Elton Britt...Played his guitar too, on a tv show back in the 50's. It was a Gibson Jumbo. He was very kind to allow that. Stan Rogers..spent a weekend with him..in company of others. I doubt that you would like him in person, but, he was an outstanding artist. |

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: rangeroger Date: 31 Dec 00 - 08:37 PM I got to spend 15 minutes talking with Emmylou one time. She signed my high school annual from '59. We both went to the same high school but different years.We did go to the same elementary school at the same time, however. An hour wouldn't be long enough. Have a picture of Richard Thompson next to my trailer at Strawberry. His wife and family camped next to me til he got there. Still, if I had an hour to pick with someone, I think it would have to be Tom Rush.Been doing his songs for almost 40 years. He's been a major influence on my style |

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Smok Date: 01 Jan 01 - 08:14 AM In my circle of friends I am concidered unique because I can identify Pete Seeger at 50 paces, knew that there was a Guthry before Arlo, that county and bluegrass are not the same but who the heck is Hildegarde von Binger? |
Subject: RE: One hour ... From: kendall Date: 01 Jan 01 - 09:10 AM She is old..very very old, and a hell of a song writer too. |
Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Smok Date: 01 Jan 01 - 06:55 PM I'm always amazed at what I learn on Mudcat. Now I get to go to the library to try and find a English copy of St. Hildegard's musings. I hope the cookbook is with it. I will sparkle the next time something musical comes up. I'll drop St. Hilda's name and watch them gasp. |
Subject: RE: One hour ... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 01 Jan 01 - 07:43 PM Hildegarde of Bingen was the prioress of an abbey at Bingen, in the 1100's or there abouts. She wrote a rule for the abbey, and her philosophy has been handed down in her writings. She also had a hand in the music performed there. LTS |

Subject: RE: One hour ... From: GUEST,kendall Date: 03 Jan 01 - 03:29 PM Ebbie, as I understand it, Wilf Carter left Nova Scotia for the west where he did some rodeo stuff. He was thrown rather hard, and knocked out. No one knew who he was, so, they referred to him as Montana Slim. Thats the story HE told. |
