13 Sep 00 - 08:58 PM (#296813) Subject: RE: Bok, Muir & Trickett Farewell Tour From: Naemanson I believe the logistics of getting together have overun the fun of singing together so they are letting it go. I think I've also heard rumors of ill health on Ann's part but I emphasize it is just rumor. |

13 Sep 00 - 09:45 PM (#296844) Subject: RE: Bok, Muir & Trickett Farewell Tour From: Midchuck You have to keep in mind that 2 male/1 female trios are one of the most stressful types of singing groups - look at PP&M - 2 out of three have lost all their hair... Peter. (if you haven't realized that the above was an attempt at humor, come to a Woodchuck gig.) |

13 Sep 00 - 09:59 PM (#296853) Subject: RE: Bok, Muir & Trickett Farewell Tour From: Sandy Paton Annie now lives in southern France; Ed has just moved from Maryland to Chicago (teaching at U of Illinois/Chicago), and Gordon is still in Maine, but doing more programs with his wife, Carol Rohl and with the January Men. Getting together to rehearse and to perform has been increasingly difficult these past several years. The guys still have their hair, or most of it. Annie's husband, Claude Graf, has had some serious health problems, but is doing okay. It's just that the time had come. So be it. Sandy |

I'm sorry about her husband being ill. That's probably why she had to go right back to France at the end of camp. |

14 Sep 00 - 08:59 AM (#297088) Subject: RE: Bok, Muir & Trickett Farewell Tour From: Big Mick I saw them when they came to E. Lansing, and I would suggest that you get to one of their farewell concerts, if possible. The bright side is that there will continue to be music from them in new ventures. Mick |

Bokless in Seattle, O..O |

14 Sep 00 - 10:11 PM (#297698) Subject: RE: Bok, Muir & Trickett Farewell Tour From: Sandy Paton Bok'll sure be out to Seattle again, both to sing and to attend the guitar workshops, so you won't remain Bokless out yonder for long. Ed often performs with Cathy barton and Dave Para. His new home in Illinois will probably make this happen even more often than it does now. He is also scheduling solo performances within spitting distance of the great hog butcher of the world, and farther afield. I'll watch for Annie to drop in on some of Hot Soup's gigs, too, to share a song or two with her daughter, Christina, and the others in that trio. All is not lost, friends. As for a farewell CD, it's likely, but it will be on Timberhead, and marketed by Folk-Legacy, as we now offer all the other Timberhead releases. Sandy |

15 Sep 00 - 01:22 AM (#297858) Subject: RE: Bok, Muir & Trickett Farewell Tour From: Mark Cohen Mousethief, you're Bokless no more! Gordon will be at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle on Sunday 11/12. Check the Timberhead link for more details. (See, sometimes it helps to follow the links in these here threads!) Here are the rest of Gordon's NW dates: Thu 11/9 Toledo, OR Fri 11/10 Astoria, OR Sun 11/12 Seattle, WA Fri 11/17 Victoria, BC Sat 11/18 Pender Island, BC I know Gordon has been to the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop (I was there when he was there in 1989), and he may have been there since, and perhaps will be again. (For those who don't know about PSGW, that's another wonderful story...) So, Mousethief, go to the site, get on their mailing list, and you will be Boklessnessless henceforth. Aloha (and a special hello to my old Seattle buddies) Mark |
