06 Apr 06 - 01:58 PM (#1712003) Subject: Looking for a hunky folk music collector From: GUEST,Dolores Mac Mahon Hi, I'm one of those godforsaken gals who's never happy unless she can lay her hands on a mean-looking, notebook-wielding, microphone-holding folk-music-collecting kind of guy. Let's face it, the USA is currently the pits for this (Springsteen has a lot to answer for), so I've turned my attention to Ireland. I've been told that there are some truly wild collectors in Clare and Antrim. Does anyone know how to contact them (and I really do mean 'contact them') or should I turn my attentions to Cork and Kerry. |

I have been sworn not to tell whether they're hunky or not, but they definitely did collecting. Jerry Rasmussen, did you do some, too? -Joe Offer- |

07 Apr 06 - 02:58 AM (#1712401) Subject: RE: Looking for a hunky folk music collector From: Big Al Whittle from the little I know about folksong collectors - I think I'd widen my terms of reference if I were you. another solution might be to get a hunk, get him a notebook, pencil and old fashioned uher taprecorder with a microphone, and earphones - keep them in a secret drawer in the bedroom - and every now and then get him to wear them. |

So, how can we meet, and what might you be willing to do/be? Is this a new "meet a friend site"? I'm game. (Not of the deer variety!). Please PM me with your proposal. Thanks! :>) |

From: Severn Bela Bartok took "Hunky" Folk Songs and put them in Classical Settings, if that counts. ....But enough of this bar talk! They just called "Last Round"! "Bela up to the bar, boys!

Mere hunks are so much easier to find than folk song collectors. I suggest putting candles in the bedrooma and lighting them. I remember so fondly the night I went into the bedroom and the DH was lying there smiling at me while candles glowed here and there and here and there and here and... |

08 Apr 06 - 09:37 AM (#1713123) Subject: RE: Looking for a hunky folk music collector From: Azizi This sounds like a BS thread to me. A gal on Mudcat lookin for a hunk? Hmmm. Well it worked for Jacqui and Carol, soooo. ???? [Not that that was the reason those two aforementioned ladies were on Mudcat] But it "sounds like" to me that GUEST,Dolores Mac Mahon is more interested in the hunk than the music collecting Then again, I get the sense that she wants to make beautiful music with some special hunk. More power to her. |

08 Apr 06 - 10:05 AM (#1713136) Subject: RE: Looking for a hunky folk music collector From: GUEST,Judy Dear Dolores, Or may I call you Dolly? I don't think you would describe Jim Carroll as hunky, more honky than anything. Plus, I've heard it said that he's got the smallest microphone in the business. Love, Judy. Ps., we girls must stick together. I've heard that Jimmy Carroll in Clare is the dog's biscuits! Is that true and is he really the man I'm looking for? |

08 Apr 06 - 08:56 PM (#1713462) Subject: RE: Looking for a hunky folk music collector From: GUEST,JTS I'm more for making them up than going out and finding them, but many of my compatriots back in Newfoundland are avid colectors. Kelly Russell comes to mind and the folks in Figgy Duff and Ryans Fancy have notebooked a tune or two. |

09 Apr 06 - 12:00 PM (#1713789) Subject: RE: Looking for a hunky folk music collector From: GUEST,Dolores Mac Mahon Hi, folks, and thanks for the suggestions, but I really need a man who can take me to the darkest cott and coax a ballad from the most reluctant old farmer. I want to smell the sweat and reek of the tape machine's whirring and the ballpoint's scribbling. Plus, of course, he must have a big microphone. |

09 Apr 06 - 02:08 PM (#1713879) Subject: RE: Looking for a hunky folk music collector From: GUEST,Judy Dear Dolly, Oh dear, I've just been looking at my email of earlier and I see I've got my wires crossed. I wrote hunky where I meant to write honky and honky where I meant to write hunky, so I said Jim Carrol was more hunky than honky, where I meant to say he's more honky than hunky, if you get my meaning. Well, you know the kind of thing that can happen when you start imagining men with their clothes off. Anyway, if you're looking for a bloke with a big microphone, then I don't think Jim Carroll is for you. You know the way we girls talk ? Well, the word on the street is that his microphone hasn't worked in forty years. Love, Judy. |

Stiff, but springy, for whipping just right. I carry a spare reel, with double tapered, weight forward, float line, with ten feet of 12, 8 and 4 pound lead. I cast 130 feet and my fly is a Brown Bomber. And, I got 210 yards of backing, so I can play a long time. Wanna swim in my pool? |
