Subject: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Mark Cohen Date: 30 Apr 03 - 07:15 AM I just got an email from Selkie O'Mira of Timberhead Records, announcing the upcoming release of Gordon's latest CD, called "Herring's in the Bay." She says it includes some songs by Mary Garvey. Would that be the Mudcat's own Mary Garvey? If so, heartiest congratulations! Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Mantid Date: 30 Apr 03 - 12:11 PM I've just gotten my copy through the mail (It wasn't available at the concert). Mary's songs include Astoria Bar, The Boats of Peter's River, and Cannery Shed. Great listening to them. The rest of the songs are wonderful especially One More Morning by Bok. Congratulations, Mary |

Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Big Mick Date: 30 Apr 03 - 02:12 PM Mary...............I can't think of anything that makes me happier to hear than this. What wonderful news!! I will order this one straight away. Congratulations, my friend. Mick |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Barbara Date: 30 Apr 03 - 02:58 PM Congrats Mary! You deserve it. Now, how about a Mary Garvey CD? The Boats of Peter's River is here in the Forum, soon to be in DT. How about it, Mary, can I post Astoria's Bar, too? (and Cannery Shed when I get through transcribing it)? Mary has just bunches and bunches of wonderful songs. I keep taping them and maybe soon I'll get more of them transcribed. She's hard to keep up with. Blessings, Barbara |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Ed. Date: 30 Apr 03 - 04:26 PM Thread drift: Over the years I've come to realise that Gordon Bok is a big favourite for a number of Mudcatters. I'd like to hear him, but with money being very tight right now, I can't justify buying a CD because several people that I don't know think he's great. Are there any audio clips available online? (even 30 second real audio ones) I've tried www.gordonbok.com but there don't seem to be any there. Anywhere else that I might look? Thanks Ed |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: catspaw49 Date: 30 Apr 03 - 06:10 PM When I saw this thread this AM, I thought...."Our MARY GARVEY???" I believed it possible, just couldn't believe it if you know what I mean. I imagine you might feel that way a bit yourself, but there it is in black and white and along with everyone else here.... CONGRATS MARY and WAY TO GO!!!!!!This is just the best. I hope you have a huge smile on your face!!!!! If not you can borrow part of the one I've got on mine! Treat yourself to something special and tell us all about it!!!!Spaw |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: katlaughing Date: 30 Apr 03 - 06:17 PM Ed, lots to listen to at Folk Legacy. Scroll down. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: SINSULL Date: 30 Apr 03 - 07:33 PM Congratulations!!!!!!! Sneaky though. How long have you been keeping this a secret? |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Miken Date: 30 Apr 03 - 08:07 PM Well done, Mary!!!! I'm buying this one sterrrraightaway. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: David Ingerson Date: 30 Apr 03 - 08:20 PM What a great honor, Mary, and affirmation of your song-writing work and inspiration! May there be many more! And thanks, Mark, for letting us know. DAvid |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Art Thieme Date: 30 Apr 03 - 08:49 PM Ms O'Meara is very probably the "Great Selkie" in person. It seems completely fitting that she has found quiet harbor and a place of repose at Timberhead. I was just about to order a copy of this CD. Now I think I'll go and do that very thing. Mr. Bok is a great artist. Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Deckman Date: 30 Apr 03 - 09:48 PM Good for you, Mary! CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: mg Date: 01 May 03 - 12:57 AM Thanks everyone...there are some really great songs on this c.d., as you can expect...and such a great voice (voices plural) singing them..mg |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 May 03 - 01:41 AM Congratulations, Mary! |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: GUEST Date: 01 May 03 - 05:07 PM The Boats of Peters River was the second song that Mike Regenstrief played on Folk Roots & Folk Branches this morning from CKUT in Montreal. The first was Sweet William & Lady Margaret by Jean Ritchie. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: KathWestra Date: 01 May 03 - 05:19 PM Congratulations, Mary. I've been listening to "Herrings in the Bay" for about three weeks now and noted to myself and to friends on several occasions what a talented songwriter you are. Gordon knows how to pick 'em! I'm especially partial to "Boats of Peter's River"--an exceptionally well-crafted song. The others are also fine songs, although I have to admit that I enjoyed them better with Gordon's solo singing of them in his recent Washington, DC, concert than I do with the big chorus (especially on Astoria Bar, where the words get a little muddied by the numerous voices). The chorus obviously is having fun, though, both on that song and on "Cannery Shed." Hooray for you! Kathy |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Barbara Date: 02 May 03 - 01:58 AM So, Mary, can I post it? Blessings, Barbara |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: kendall Date: 02 May 03 - 09:33 PM I'm listening to Herrings in the Bay. Lovely stuff. I only have one problem with it, his voice is so deep my cd player is shaking like a dog shittin' razor blades. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Don Firth Date: 03 May 03 - 02:11 AM Way to go, Mary! I'm ordering up a copy. Don Firth |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 04 May 03 - 10:09 AM He was at my other folk club last night & was fantastic. As I was in the front room collecting the money I didn't hear the entire concert, but enough to know what a great entertainer he is. The only problems was the CDs sent to his previous host didn't arrive, so we couldn't buy 'em!! buggerbuggerbugger. My wallet was full of money, so all I have to do is contact another of of his hosts who did receive CDs & get one. Which means waiting patiently. And what is even worse, I returned a heap of CDs to Bob Bolton last night (including Harbours of Home). sandra (looking forward to getting a copy |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: JennyO Date: 04 May 03 - 10:23 AM Yes I was there too - inside watching the concert fortunately. I had never heard him before, and now I understand what all the fuss is about. I was totally moved, both by his voice and that lovely 12 string guitar. I would have bought his new CD too, on the spot, but couldn't. Like Sandra said - buggerbuggerbugger! Jenny |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: SINSULL Date: 04 May 03 - 12:06 PM I just purchased a copy of Gordon Bok's first LP on Ebay. This one slipped by the $40+ bidders this time. A coup! |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: sharyn Date: 04 May 03 - 01:00 PM Hi Mary, Congratulations. I didn't know that "Boats of Peter's River" was your song -- my friend Valentine in Connecticut sings it. Yay! |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: Barbara Date: 08 May 03 - 11:08 PM Here's the link to words and tune for Astoria's Bar. Blessings, Barbara |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok records Mary Garvey songs From: musicmick Date: 09 May 03 - 04:33 PM I will be reviewing "Herrings In The Bay" in next month's TUNE UP. The review will be posted on Mudcat after it is published and sent to the member/subscribers. I usually send a prepublication copy of the column to the artist but, if she sends me her e-mail address, I will zap one off to Mary Garvey too. She can contact me at musicmic@earthlink.net Mike Miller |
