Thread Name: Origins: Reynardine: Info?
Subject: RE: Reynardine: Info?
For some years there was a musical foursome here in Austin (Tx) named Reynardine. According to one of their members, Lorre Weidlich, they took the name because of its history in various folklores they had looked into -- all-too-human womanizer/serial killer, spook, etc. They did old British Isles ballads, traditional Celtic, bluegrass, old-time-string-band, Carter Family, etc. -- lots of styles. Other members were Earl Hunt and Glenn Schultze. Lorre played Appalachian Dulcimer and tinwhistle and sang, Earl played guitar and mandolin and sang, Glenn played (and built)washtub bass and sang. The fourth member's last name eludes me now, but the first was Chuck and he played the concertina. They disbanded. Glenn died of a heart attack several years later. Still see the others around doing stuff. 'Course they make their livings other ways. Glenn was a follower of the traditions of warm, loyal friendship, and encouraging a healthier approach to life on the planet. Durn, I miss him. Tw.
