Art Thieme Lyr Req/Add: Wave to Me, My Lady (Loesser/Stein) (13) RE: Lyr Req: Wave to me, my lady 02 Feb 11


Jim,
Good to hear from you. That surely was was a long time back.
Steve Powers, the guy who managed the club, taped your sets at his club.. I was staying at the club's farmhouse for that week, and whenever else I played at Charlotte's Web. I dubbed a few of your songs from Steve Powers' collection there by putting my cassette player near the speaker. I recall "Wave To Me My Lady" -- "Sioux City Sue" -- and "The Women" (Frank Crummitt)

Also some things that Leon Redbone did---and Bob Gibson.

One thing I've got that you may want to have was when you did Ella Jenkins' old radio show in Chicago about 1960. I dubbed it off the radio with a hand-held microphone. It was a wonderful set. Between Fred Holstein and myself, we must've learned ten songs. I remember "San Francisco Bay" -- "Stacker Lee" -- an amazing guitar arrangement version of "The Cuckoo" that I sang for 35 years. Also "Sister Kate" -- "Days Of '49" -- and a Jimmie Rodger song I don't recall---but it was just great too.

The name of Ella's show on WSBC was The Meetin' House, and on it you said you'd played at the Monday Hoot at the Rising Moon on Wells Street in Old Town -- and that you were doing an actual gig at the club as a result. Ella loved your music. ----- And Ella Jenkins is still playing and doing great -- way into her eighties I think.

Well, I guess I'll have to re-type all this at your Facebook page. Check out my Art Thieme Facebook page and click on ART'S PHOTOS. There is one of you in Rockford that I took when we had gone to the fine ephemera and music store called Toad Hall to search out 78 rpm records.----------- Good memories, Mr. K. I remember you and the whole jug band playing at Richard Harding's club in Chicago. I think it was the club on Sedgwick St. called Pour Richard's. That was before he opened his QUIET KNIGHT folk night club. As I said, lots o' water through the lock gates since those "days of old----and days of gold."

All the best to you---Art Thieme
