He had an amazing rich, deep bass voice, was a fine guitarist ans songwriter. Didn't record much, but they've recently put out a CD of his stuff. Next thing you know, somebody will be asking about whatever happened to Mark Spoelstra or Dick Rosmini. Jerry |

06 Jan 02 - 09:48 PM (#622478) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: fred neill From: GUEST,frankie Whatever happened to Dick Rosmini? You must be pschyic, Jerry. Seriously though, I've only heard one recording of Rosminis' (that I was aware of). It was on some collection of 12 string instrumentals and it was dynamite. Ditto on what you said about Fred Neil, what a voice. I think he passed on last year and I seem to recall there was a thread about it at the time. f |

06 Jan 02 - 10:09 PM (#622485) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: fred neill From: Stewie Jerry, there are now 2 double CDs available that cover all his albums. The most recent one is 'Tear Down the Walls (with Vince Martin)/Bleecker & MacDougal' a double CD set of his 2 Elektra albums (I can't give specific reference as I have lent my copy, but it is available through Amazon etc). His 3 Capitol albums are on 'The Many Sides of Fred Neil' Collector's Choice Music CCM-070-2. There is a Fred Neil site: By the way, whatever did happen to Mark Spoelstra? I have several of his LPs which I enjoyed immensely, but have not listened to in years. --Stewie. |

06 Jan 02 - 11:06 PM (#622513) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: fred neill From: Jerry Rasmussen Stewie: I'm not aware of much being available by Dick Rosmini. He was a fine guitarist but seemed happy to stay in the background. Frankie: No idea where Mark Spoelstra was.. when in doubt, go on eBay. I had three albums by him, including one which was on a major label, and had my friend Ed Trickett playing hammered dulcimer on one song. I still like Mark's Working on a Building and Dead Thumb Roll. I believe that he was a Conscientious Objector in the Vietnam War... I had an album of his after that called (From What I remember, Four and Twenty Questions.) He was one of the finest 12 string guitar players and had a great voice. Jerry |

21 Jul 03 - 01:35 PM (#987559) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: fred neill From: PoppaGator Harpgirl, Is this in response to my request for "The Dolphins" lyrics, posted just a couple of hours ago? Or just a coincidence? Either way, thanks. I had never heard of Dick Rosmini before today, nor had I seen Stefan Wirz' excellent web site. Pops |

21 Jul 03 - 01:40 PM (#987561) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: fred neill From: harpgirl PG...I remembered that I had posted the lyrics last year and that we had some interesting stuff on this thread. Not synchronicity but as I said I will tape the record, which I found in the .25 bin at the public library last year and send it to you if you like. |

21 Jul 03 - 02:56 PM (#987609) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: fred neill From: PoppaGator What a very generous offer! I'll send a PM. Interesting observation, reading between the lines: back in January '02, Sorcha's quick response to the ambiguously terse question "Fred Neill?" was: "Is this an artist, a song or a tune? My ignorance is showing." 18 months later, she had an immediate and complete response ready when I posted my question about Fred's "The Dolphins." I'm impressed! |
