15 Feb 00 - 10:11 PM (#179122) Subject: 'Arkansas River' anyone know it? From: BK I've looked in the data base; I go to a (nominally) bluegrass jam some thursday nights; an older couple sitting across from me sang a very nice song by that title. They don't come very often (me too, it seems) so I'm unlikely to be around them for a while. They thought other regulars would know it, but not so. They did say they'd never heard it on a recording & had no idea where to look - I only asked them just as they were leaving - as the music was stopping for the night. I'm sure they'd be willing to teach me, but I might not see them for many months.. Any ideas?? Thanx, BK |

15 Feb 00 - 11:48 PM (#179189) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: 'Arkansas River' anyone know From: harpgirl ...BK..I lived five years in Arkansas and I have racked my brain to remember hearing such a song. I did a folk radio show for three of those years in Fayetteville and sang at Jimmie Driftwood's barn and in MV. I was an Almeda Riddle groupie...and I am a card carrying (inactive) member of The Rackensack Society, but I have never heard a song by that name...the closest I come is The White River Valley which I will post on a new thread...harpgirl (maybe Arkie has heard it, or Dave or Cathy Para)... |

16 Feb 00 - 12:09 AM (#179207) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: 'Arkansas River' anyone know From: Arkie There is a group called Joe Sasser and Friends, among other things, who do, I believe, the song you are looking for. Very nice song. May take me a little while to find Joe, but I'd like to have the words as well. Good tune, but I can't do much with that at this time. I believe that the song is of relatively recent vintage. Seems like there is a line about where the Arkansas River runs..., but my memory is on a leave of absence right now. |

16 Feb 00 - 03:54 PM (#179546) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: 'Arkansas River' anyone know From: GUEST,Arkie Gene, since I primarily deal with music from the first half of the twentieth century on back, I consider anything from the fiftys and sixtys to the present as "recent" vintage. The 80's are quite recent. |

16 Feb 00 - 06:53 PM (#179678) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: 'Arkansas River' anyone know From: BK Incredible! & thanks.. I'll need to hear the tune at some point. Will also bring the words to the jam 'n see if some of the guys can put a tune to it. Gonna do a sing-along sometime in the next month or so at our church 'n thought it would be good to do a song related to this part of the country.. (also just a nice song to know) Obviously I suspect the song above could be it. If I finally get hold of that couple, 'n if they can let me tape it 'n it's different, I'll try to post it here. Again, muchas gracias, BK |
