Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Northern Lights (Don Lange)
Knowing that the artists check in to the Mudcat site from time to time, I just have to post to thank Freeman and Lange for sending me down the road as an amateur folkie. Fresh out of high school in the early 70's a group of us aspiring young hippies would head across town to the University of Northern Iowa campus in Cedar Falls to listen to Freeman and Lange when they appeared on the "Live From Studio One" radio program at the university-run Public Radio station. They would also put on a show at the student union when they came up from Iowa City to do Studio One. The "Freeman and Lange" album has long been one of my "desert island" choices- probably among my top 5 favorite recordings of all time. It was the first LP I transferred to CD when I got a CD burner (I think the other LP copied on that disc is the Dillards "Roots and Branches"). Northern Lights and Old Wooley still get played pretty regularly in my basement or at open mics around the area. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for producing such a fine recording.
