Kendall's final CD

03 Mar 12 - 10:53 AM (#3316628)
Subject: Kendall's final CD
From: kendall

I have a cd that I'm calling SWAN SONG. It's a collection of old songs that I recorded years ago, and I'm thinking about offering it for sale.
It's not a great recording, guitar is a bit loud and the equipment wasn't the best. Who is interested?

Songs:
Rambles of Spring Tommy Makem
Before they close the minstrel show. Bob Coltman

Lonesome Robin.Bob Coltman

Whose gonna buy you ribbons Paul Clayton
Rye whiskey Joe Bill Staines
Old Buddy Goodnight Utah Phillips
The faded roses of December Utah Phillips
Last letter home McDade/Brown
I remember loving you Utah Phillips
I don't look good naked anymore   Sheb Wooley
Patrick Spencer Bob Coltman
Grig a lee Matt McGinn

Geeziz Kendall...Have you got a screw loose or what? Swan Song? Could you possibly think of something more depressing please? What kind of major funk are you in? Call it "Old Shit Poorly Recorded" or something but SWAN SONG? You need some Prozac or something.............Swan Song my ass........or your ass..........................When you settle in on a price and a better name, let me know and I'll take 'em both.

Are you planning to use the final track as the theme for the cover art?

I thought Swan Song was appropriate because I will never make another. It is highly unlikely that I will ever get my voice back.

The time consuming thing is making labels. That's Jacqui's job and she has to be in the mood.I hope to have some for the DiMillos gig. I also hope to have a few copies of my book on CDs.

Charlie, I want people to buy them, not burn them! :-)

Tell ya what, Kendall: In those days (and those days were not that long ago) no one knew what mixing and mastering were. Mostly we were trying to get the words, voice and instruments on the tape. If ya did that, ya done good.

I hope this doesn't detract from this thread. Forty some-odd years back I was on a record. Since then I've done four or five recordings. My next one will be voice and guitar, because I am fuckin' fed up with all this digital crap. Field recordings? Yeah. I have one of them and lemme tell you what: it ain't bad.

In the parlance, I can do it with my guitar and my words. THEN if ya don't like it, I ain't very good at all. Or you cain't listen worth shit.

As I've said earlier, and as I've said before to you--in public and private--you have the best timing I ever heard in song or speaking, and if anyone wants to argue that with me, get in touch.

It will be worth the bother once the guy gets Kendall's pc back working properly. Right now it won't recognise that there is a blank disc in the burner. Same discs as we've used for recording in the past and once on this new machine. Hopefully the repair guy will fix it.

We're waiting on Bob Coltman to agree that we can use his title for the CD. Once we've got that done we'll be in business.

well, Jacqui would take Umbrage and more.

It's back and working like a charm.
Now, let's see who is serious about ordering this rare set of two CDs.

We will be coming to the UK in May, so if anyone in England, Scotland or Wales wants one we can either hand deliver or mail them from somewhere in England. That will save you the international postage rate. A personal check in pounds Sterling will do, we can cash them over there.
So, my mailing address is: 120 Sawyer road, Scarborough Maine 04074
USA
All I need is a check for $12.00 and a return address. Your move.

By the way, we settled on a name. DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH. I was looking at my Granddaughter's dog at the time it hit me. Her name is Diamond. The dog, not the Granddaughter.

LOL

Kendall, I'm in for two. However, please let Jacqui know it's gonna be about ten days, so wait to do the CDs on my behalf.

What I would love to hear/read is you talking about your life in music. I have had the pleasure and honour of listening to your music and choice of songs for about seven or eight years now. You're a gruff old sob, but you have class. And timing.

I will admit that although you do not have the best singing voice I ever heard, and although you choose songs I wouldn't necessarily have chosen, you are truly great, because you trust and believe in the songs you do. I love your work, and because of that, I think you'd best get yer ass off the stove and do the job, else we all will miss a piece of history we should have. I mean that.

BM

PS I 'borrowed' one of your tales from the book; I mentioned on a few occasions that you wrote the tale. The applause? well, I accepted them on your behalf. I also mentioned you told it half as well as I do. LOL!

Sandra, I'm not quite ready to announce my next project in a separate thread, but I'll tell you here that it is a double CD of me reading my book back about 20 years ago. It's renamed from Stories told in the kitchen, which was in print for over 30 years, to MAINE LIES DOWNEAST.
I expect the first delivery in about a week.

Guest999, I feel a bit silly addressing you like that because I know who you are. Anyway, I've never given that idea any thought but I might consider making a tape just for you. I doubt that it would have broad interest.

I want one! (...and one of the "Diamonds in the Cellar" CD,of course.)

Seriously, you sing songs that aren't exclusive to you. The stories you have are uniquely yours. It's not just that no one else can tell them, but no one else even knows them. True, you can't steal them, but you can sure tell a story! You probably have enough so you could put a book together and you won't have to leave things out to make them fit, but it would be worth doing, IMO.

Kendall, my attempted humor got a little too dumb. I have relatives who always make banana cream pie when they know I'm coming. I generally take a piece, finish it, and then say "Something about that isn't quite right; I need another piece, to see if I can figure out what's wrong". The pie is always to good to have just one serving. So is your CD. : )

I want you all to know that, fool that I am, I actually ordered this and received it! I spent several days preparing myself for the listening experience;read---Steeling myself to tolerate Kendall for as long as required.

As it turned out, much to my surprise because Kendall had so many bad things to say about this CD, it was fine! My head didn't explode nor did my nutsack and this generally means that I like something.   When I remove a cd and give it a frisbee sling you ccan believe I hate it and will never listen to it again. Kendall's did not suffer that fate and I would begrudgingly tell all of you that the old fart is an okay listen.

If you can, you need to get one!!!!
