Thread Name: Joe & Eddie (60's Folk Duo)
Subject: RE: Joe & Eddie (60's Folk Duo)
This is bizarre. I hadn't thought of these guys in years until earlier today when I started thinking about whose music I want to save by transferring it from reel-to-reel tape to CDs and theirs popped into my mind.

I saw Joe & Eddie live in Oklahoma City, but I can't for the life of me remember if it was at The Buddhi (which was my favorite haunt in '62 and '63) or its successor as the folk scene center, The Sword and the Stone, in '65-'66.

What I do remember very clearly is one of the most energetic and tightly harmonized performances I've ever seen — in any genre of music. I haven't had my R-t-R tapes out in years, but I'm sure I've got at least one — maybe two — of their albums.

I just looked back at the dates/albums posted above and I must have seen them in '66, because I'd heard the albums before I heard them live and I was in Japan from late '63 to late '65.

Anyway, I add my voice to those singing their praises; fantastic singers and performers!

cheers,

david
