Thread Name: Bob Shane interview Feb 19 '06
Subject: RE: Bob Shane interview Feb 19 '06
A few songs are played alone, but most are sets. Two are from the Weavers repertoire (Corey, COrey, based on Darling Corey, and the first Christmas song), the next two are Tahitian Polynesian songs (Shane and Guard learned them in Hawaii years before the KT), then two Bob Shane solo spots (S&S/Good Year), Low Bridge thru Coast of CA make up a Westbound trip across the US. Bob has comments on some of these, and there is some other conversaion between sets. Bob Shane credits Stan Wilson and Travis Edmonson as major influences once he got to California, hence spotlighting them (Wilson also wrote A Rollin' Stone and Jane, Jane, Jane). Note that I deliberately avoided the KT's biggest hit singles - saving them for a future part 2). Wilson passed on a few years ago. Edmonson lives in Arizona near Bob, and Bob sees him occasionally. They performed as a duo in 1968.
