Thread Name: Obit: folksinger Al Grierson (1948-2000)
Subject: RE: OBIT: Goodbye Al Grierson (Nov 2000)
Severn, I only met Al once---and that was only for a second---at the big Folk Alliance meeting in Cleveland a few years back when the Rose Tattoo people were doing a hobo workshop. I'd be very interested in seeing those lyrics if you're up to putting them here. His words did seem to have more in them every time I actually heard them bing sung by him. The depth of the guy's insights really comes out in his performances of his own songs. Many levels are there.
