07 Aug 01 - 01:07 AM (#522388) Subject: What's your dream gig? From: Marion Survey question: tell us about the gig you dream of doing someday. Could be a question of place, or occasion, or who you share the stage with... I thought of this question because Little Neo has mentioned Carnegie Hall a few times - is that still the goal, Bonnie? I wouldn't mind playing a dance at the West Mabou hall in Cape Breton some Saturday night. I'll need an accompanist, so if there's a pianist or guitarist out there who can't think of an answer, you can volunteer to come with me. Marion |

It's another hall I've dreamed of since it was built. West Mabou Hall in Cape Breton on a Saturday night? If I'm ever in the area, I'd love to accompany you! BMW |

For me a dream gig is any gig where people really enjoy themselves. That can be 20 people or less or 1000 and the venue is immaterial for me. All the best mooman |

07 Aug 01 - 10:40 AM (#522558) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Big Mick I know a fair amount of performers of varying degrees of reknown. But the gig I would give anything to perform in would be in an Ark (folk club in Ann Arbor, MI, USA)type setting. I would be performing with Caroline and Sandy, THE FAIR ONE, Dan Milner, Art Thieme, Tony Burns, Justa Picker, KT, JenEllen, Chanteyranger, The Johnson Girls, Bok-Muir-Trickett, Rick Fielding, Jed Marum, Seamus Kennedy, Arlo Guthrie, Kendall Morse, Max, Bert, MaryMac, THE FAIR ONE, Liam Tiernan, Peter T., Kath Westra, Jeri, Barry Finn, Curmudgeon and Bat Goddess, Naemonsen, momnopp, LaMarca, Shula, El Swanno and the formidable Miss Pam, Bill Sables, Wolfgang, THE FAIR ONE, and anyone else I have left out. The audience would be Spaw, Spaw's family, and friends. Shit, ......... I have just described the FSGW Getaway. Mick |

07 Aug 01 - 11:53 AM (#522603) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Rick Fielding Any gig that didn't depend on a Rock-oriented sound person getting the music out to the audience. Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,!! (apologies to officer Toody) A concert for twenty REALLY interested people who'd payed 100 bucks a head....with NO sound system! Rick |

07 Aug 01 - 12:06 PM (#522617) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Clinton Hammond The Ark, sure... Better... Austin City Limits... with Stephen Fearing as my opening act! LOL!!!! Failling that, I'll take Ricks last option, for 500 Alex... ;-) |

07 Aug 01 - 12:11 PM (#522620) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: GUEST,harvey andrews I have a dream..... I've opened the concert, all has gone well. Job done I settle in a front row seat to watch my fellow performers do their stuff. First of all Harry Chapin, then Stan Rogers, then a cameo performance by Kate Wolf..interval... followed by Steve Goodman, followed by the legendary 66 year old singer/songwriter Buddy Holly doing an acoustic set with a guest appearance by John Lennon. Then I go backstage to join them for a final song to a packed house....and wake up in a cold sweat. |

Failing that, I like Rick's idea of playing for twenty really interested people who paid $100.00 each, and no sound system. I could almost live on the proceeds of that concert for a year. Almost.

07 Aug 01 - 12:21 PM (#522629) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Jack the Sailor For me it would be some benefit or occasion where I have been commissioned to write the theme song. "Save the toddy cats" something like that. |

07 Aug 01 - 12:32 PM (#522636) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Rick Fielding Well.....Harvey let me open for HIM in Toronto, so I was guaranteed a full house, and that's always nice. But last year I HAD one of those dream gigs, and I'll always remember it. Almost 10,000 folks in the audience. 9,995 of them were there to see Gordon Lightfoot return to his home in Orillia, but I was thrilled to be on the program. Harvey, how 'bout if Phil Ochs showed up at your "dream show", just to "keep 'em honest"? Rick

07 Aug 01 - 03:27 PM (#522796) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Justa Picker Doing a concert and performing on stage with Doc Watson, Merle Travis and Chet Atkins, and then backstage after the show in the dressing room, all three of them picking my brains wanting me to show them all my different licks so they could steal them for future use. |

07 Aug 01 - 04:54 PM (#522891) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Benjamin I've always wanted to play on Letterman. As for others I'd like to play with, Al Green tops the list. Then Ana Vidovic. Or maybe it's the other way around. The nice thing about dreams is they come out exactly the way you want them. Unless it's the kind that you have in your sleep. Those can take a turn on their own. |

07 Aug 01 - 07:19 PM (#523006) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: Rick Fielding Sounds fine John, but I hope you'll wait for Yoko to leave before you start the last part! She would NOT be amused. Rick |

07 Aug 01 - 07:50 PM (#523042) Subject: RE: What's your dream gig? From: GUEST,Harvey andrews How could I forget Phil Ochs? I've just found in my loft a tape of him teaching me two of his new songs "Flower Lady" and "Cannons of Christianity" and I realise this is a precious artifact. The next time it's played it goes straight to digital. |
