Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Jeri Date: 09 Jul 09 - 05:39 PM I was obviously referring to the possible YouTubizing. I can't wait--eight days! It's going to be a short time for me this year and it will fly past. Let's see how much of it all I can take in. Adrien, you are the best! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Jeri Date: 09 Jul 09 - 03:50 PM Does that mean the whole 'clothing optional' thing is off? |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: bankley Date: 09 Jul 09 - 01:36 PM Beer... I'm glad the CD got to Gerry and he aired a song.... was it 'The Spell' by any chance ? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 09 Jul 09 - 11:02 AM Could I put in an early request for some Youtube videos to be uploaded of the Festival this year? We had some wonderful photos last year, but some video would be even better, kinda make us all feel we're there a little... :0) |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 09 Jul 09 - 10:53 AM Listening to Ron Bankley on CKUT radio McGill. Good stuff Ron. That cut should have folks packing their bags to come out. Ad. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: KenM Date: 08 Jul 09 - 09:16 PM Drive safely, Dorothy. Pat and I fly from Southwest Florida on Sunday for a few days in Quebec City and Montreal before we get down to Ormstown on the 17th. This is going to be a great weekend!! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: bankley Date: 08 Jul 09 - 07:08 PM I'll be there for Friday... we'll take it from there |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Peace Date: 08 Jul 09 - 04:55 PM Ron, we gonna have a chance to play a bit? Marc Nerenberg is gonna get to the Friday open mike. So will I. I'm hoping Jeri and April will be there, too. And John. I'm looking forward to meeting the ol' fart. And there will be two surorise guests you have never met. They are driving to Montreal leaving manana. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: bankley Date: 08 Jul 09 - 10:49 AM it has something to do with bad breath,,,, plus Tony Tonsils, the sword swallower, has problems crossing borders now with his props... |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: bankley Date: 08 Jul 09 - 09:16 AM I wish that JT was gonna be there too. He'll be at the arts center in Madisonville KY. all that weekend... when we get the CD done and in circulation, we'll set up some shows for next year north of 49.. I might have a surprise guest or two sitting in.... Bobo the Fire-eater and Vicki Bends, the Contortionist, but they often don't get along... |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 07 Jul 09 - 11:22 PM If he is I think I should know about it seeing as I do the booking. However, Jt could be a surprise guest. I've seen this happen before and it sure would be great. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: olddude Date: 07 Jul 09 - 11:04 PM I thought he was beer but I could be wrong ... |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 07 Jul 09 - 10:38 PM Thanks Ham. I just sent Mike a post. That was a great read and I wish Mike well. adrien |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 07 Jul 09 - 10:21 PM I didn't know JT was playing? It will be recorder (well some of it.)and the Montreal Folk Reunion will be filmed. That is a 99% certainty. Adrien |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: olddude Date: 07 Jul 09 - 10:10 PM Wish I could go, just not in my budget this year for sure. Someone please tape it ok so those of us who can't can see some video. Bruce, Ron, JT, knock em dead I know you will play on Dan |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: C. Ham Date: 07 Jul 09 - 09:38 PM Mike Regenstreif blogged about the Apple Hollow Folk Festival tonight. Mike's blog. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Dorothy Parshall Date: 07 Jul 09 - 10:06 AM On my way to Apple Hollow! Chuck and Jennie Baker, Vancouver/Rufus Guitar Shop, asked as I left them after a wonderful catch up weekend, please give our regards and regrets to anyone who remembers us. Had they heard about Apple Hollow sooner than 4 July...! They are terrifically disappointed not to be there for this Montreal Reunion time. So, folks, remember to let them know when you are playing somewhere; they have air miles! And they still care about all those who played the Door during their time there. See you next week! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Neil D Date: 05 Jul 09 - 12:54 PM Motto for the Festival Have one Beer, but don't tie one on. Wish I could be there. I hope a fine tie is had by all... A fine time as well. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 04 Jul 09 - 10:33 PM If one could only sleep in when tired. Most of us say we will but for some reason it rarely happens. ad. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: maeve Date: 04 Jul 09 - 10:16 PM Too bad, Adrien. I suppose you'll just have to get a good night's sleep and go fishing in the morning, poor thing. maeve |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 04 Jul 09 - 10:14 PM Didn't get the box of ties and probably just as well. ad. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: maeve Date: 04 Jul 09 - 06:46 PM hmmm... Careful there, Ron. You never know. maeve |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: bankley Date: 04 Jul 09 - 04:58 PM how about a skirt made of bolo ties ?... western hula anyone ? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 03 Jul 09 - 10:19 PM What a great idea maeve. you know i just might buy that box of ties tomorrow. I still like the skirt idea as well. ad. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Jeri Date: 03 Jul 09 - 10:12 PM Wow, Maeve! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Jeri Date: 03 Jul 09 - 09:54 PM Idea? Ron in a skirt? Is he gonna wear that on the 1st prize night? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 03 Jul 09 - 09:52 PM Wow! Bankley you do look great. Now there is an idea for the ladies. ad. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: maeve Date: 03 Jul 09 - 09:52 PM I was thinking about making something like these someday Necktie Quilts Another year, Festival performers and committee members could each sign a tie; with the resulting quilt to be auctioned. Late night thinking. maeve |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Peace Date: 03 Jul 09 - 06:47 PM Be still my beating heart . . . . Bankley, you look GREAT in that. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Peace Date: 03 Jul 09 - 06:44 PM They make neat skirts when they're sewn together. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Azizi Date: 03 Jul 09 - 07:32 AM Adrien, I definitely recognize that as the organizer of the Apple Hollow Music Fest, you are much too busy to do anything with this tie idea or tie ideas. Besides, the concept of the fest may be too serious for this type of connection. But given that the fact that there are quite a number of light hearted posts on this thread, I didn't get that impression of your fest. If I were attending the fest, I would have been glad to help with that effort and with others which are probably much more important. But unfortunately, I will not be attending. I recognize that this tie contest or tie whatever (which could tie many things together) is only tangential to the core purpose of the event. However, if you wanted it to be, "ties" could have been used as a publicity stunt (to further garner community interest for the fest. Imagine a news article "tieing" the event with the artists then and now. Imagine a news article promoting the event and asking people to come to that event-or to one day of that event-wearing their most outrageous ties. Women can wear ties too. [which is one equal opportunities theme that could be used). As I've already indicated, I recognize that this is quite tangential to the core of the festival. But sometimes tangents are good things too. IMO, tangents are one reason why Mudcat discussion threads about the Apple Hollow Music Fest are interesting to read. These threads have been more than just announcements about the event, though the event should and does take center stage. IMO, the "Bless be the tie that binds" idea could be a fun promotional opportunity and a possibly fun raising opportunity. True, the idea popped up out of no where [which is how many ideas come], but it's no big deal if people decide not to do anything with it. Best wishes, Azizi |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 03 Jul 09 - 06:42 AM I don't mind the drift as it keeps the thread going. Azizi, Ken is right and I can envision a real fun contest with folks coming on the grounds with some very far out looking designs, but with 14 day to go I have no intention of starting something that will require more of my time. Any of you members that are coming want to spend the next two weeks organizing some sort of a tie event your more than welcome to do so. Ad. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: maeve Date: 03 Jul 09 - 06:16 AM Sorry for the thread drift, Adrien. You're getting closer to the Apple Hollow Music Fest! Fun times a-coming. maeve |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Azizi Date: 02 Jul 09 - 09:46 PM Adrien, it occurs to me that KenM may have been really on to something with his comment that the ties sounds like a great fundraiser. The tie thingy could also be a fun public relations gift (even if you don't win the bid for that box of old ties that you mentioned). Lots of guys have old ties that they could donate-the more atrocious the better. And the performers or MCs could have fun with how/where they wore the ties during the festival. And this ties in with frogprince's post "Bless be the tie that binds" (though he said it somewhat differently :o). Plus the matter of ties also "ties" in with the reunion aspect of this years' festival as gnu posted on 27 Feb 09 - 05:27 PM When it's apple blossom time in Chateauguay Valley Fine friends will gather from far and wide. With old and new songs, and stories aplenty. Come join us there, in the countryside. -snip- Anyway, it's just a thought, but it seems to me that "handled" the right way, this tie thingy could add more energy to what already sounds like a great and memorable gathering. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: frogprince Date: 02 Jul 09 - 08:38 PM "Blest beeee the tieeee that binds..." |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: maeve Date: 02 Jul 09 - 08:32 PM I was envisioning a wild banner made of 100 ties, or the whole passel of Apple Hollow performers singing as they made a braided rug instead of wearing ties... Chalk it up to music deprivation. m |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: gnu Date: 02 Jul 09 - 06:52 PM Ask then for a buy now price? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 02 Jul 09 - 04:52 PM The auction is on Saturday. Ad. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: maeve Date: 02 Jul 09 - 03:47 PM So did the box of 100 ties sell? m |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Dorothy Parshall Date: 01 Jul 09 - 03:40 PM Menage a trois, je ne pense pas. But then, that would not be sleeping. But then, Ron said nothing about sleeping. A night with - great music, crazy jokes, at which there are none better than those two. Who needs sleep! HAPPY CANADA DAY, mes chers amis!!! I can hardly wait to get HOME! When I crossed into Canada in April, every cell in my body screamed, "WE"RE HOME!!" Two weeks and 2 days to Apple Hollow! (Three days to Canada!) |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: frogprince Date: 01 Jul 09 - 03:30 PM ROFLMAO |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: bankley Date: 01 Jul 09 - 12:07 PM 3rd prize : Bruce, Ron and Willie go home with you and stay until there's no more food or refreshments, ...then leave you to do the clean-up |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: John MacKenzie Date: 01 Jul 09 - 10:40 AM Sleeping with them is no fun, it's staying awake with them that's more enjoyable. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: frogprince Date: 01 Jul 09 - 10:20 AM Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear: I'm looking forward to meeting these turkeys - NOT sleeping with them!!! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: bankley Date: 01 Jul 09 - 09:31 AM 1st prize... a night with Bruce and Ron 2nd prize... 2 nights with Bruce and Ron |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: KenM Date: 01 Jul 09 - 12:43 AM I think that sounds like a great fundraiser, Adrien. To all my dear friends north of the 49th parallel, Happy Canada Day! See you in a few weeks. Ken |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest Quebec Canada '09 From: Beer Date: 30 Jun 09 - 10:20 PM Not a word of a lie. I was working today getting an estate ready for an auction on July 4th. Well when I opened a large box, there must have been a hundred ties in it. I immediately thought about this thread. If I could of, I would have thrown them all in the truck to pass out at the festival. All kidding aside, it could be a fun contest. The funnest, most outrageous, sexiest, etc., etc. tie wins a Bruce Murdoch, Ron Bankley, c/d. No, I'm not going to do it. To much on the plate as it is. But a fun thought for the future. Ad. |
