Tim Harrison Obit: Tex Koenig's Passing (1940-1999) (86* d) RE: Tex Koenig's Passing 03 Jul 99

Dear Folks,

This is my inaugural visit to Mudcat which has been highly recommended to me by Rick Fielding.

I wanted to say a few words about Tex and also have a question. Tex was one of the only acts to receive a standing ovation and encore (before the sun went down that is on the main stage) at a festival I started in Owen Sound, Ontario, The Summerfolk Festival. Tex did a story called "The Wipporwill" (sp?) about a young fellow who enters a fiddle contest...sort of like the Devil Came Down From Georgia by Charlie Daniels. He told the story with such grace and aplomb (not to mention a wonderful Southern accent!) that the audience was completely charmed.

I always found that story-telling was Tex's forte and I will miss his wit. If anyone knows where to get ahold of the story, Please let me know.

Tim
