Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen - funeral, 16 Aug 2013 From: GUEST,guest jules schneider Date: 14 Aug 13 - 05:56 PM such sad news! i was very fortunate to visit Louisa and Margaret four weeks ago at louisa's apartment in Newcastle...and what a poignant visit it was! we hadn't seen each other in 20 years. shared many stories of the 60's and 70's--she immediately asked how my "kids" are---they are now 45 and 48 year-old women, each with two kids of their own. but in the day, they would spot Louie (then) at a festival ground and run to him shrieking "Louie Killen, Louie Killen", whereupon he would hoist them on his shoulders, amidst much giggling. so our visit went---with happy reminisces in spit of the palpable pallor that hung in the air. Margaret was clearly the angel who made Louisa's burden so much more comfortable. thank you Margaret from one of Louisa's legion of life-long friends. we ended our visit by coaxing the Pitman story of Napoleon at Waterloo out of her (it took about 2 seconds of "coaxing"). so much life came out during the telling--sparkling eyes and ruddy color returned during those 10 minutes---i will remember Louisa that way Jules Schneider |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen - funeral, 16 Aug 2013 From: GUEST,George Frampton Date: 14 Aug 13 - 07:25 AM I'm very sad to hear this. I first saw Lou perform at the Old Crown FC in Birmingham in 1975 when over from the States, and afterwards became aware of that justly celebrated contribution to the 'revival'. I knew then I was hearing somebody special. Lou was very encouraging when getting The Volunteer sessions off the ground when booked at Sidmouth in 2006, and attended every day; also coming to the fore when Mike Waterson was unable to to attend in 2010, singing some of Mike's songs. An inspiration to us all. Lou's spirit will live on! |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen - funeral, 16 Aug 2013 From: GUEST,William Pint Date: 13 Aug 13 - 08:42 PM We can take a bit of comfort knowing that Louisa left behind a treasure trove of recorded material -- so many splendid songs sung to perfection with so much heart, exquisite phrasing, inflection, layers of meaning -- such richness. How fortunate that future singers in the traditional style will have the opportunity to listen and watch and learn. I had the pleasure and honor of knowing and singing with Louisa/Louis many times over the last 30 years or so. Every time was a revelation. I recall hearing Louis singing 'The Rose in June' and weeping openly -- transported by the song and his amazing performance. A highlight was taking a walking tour of Newcastle with Louisa -- where almost every pub, street corner, bridge we passed was the cue to another song. You will be missed and never forgotten. Thanks for everything Louisa. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen - funeral, 16 Aug 2013 From: Peter Kasin Date: 13 Aug 13 - 02:03 PM This iws so sad. When Louisa was Louis, I met her when she was volunteer coordinator at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, late 80's-early 90's. What a privilege it was to have such a great singer in our midst. She performed in our sea music concert series and at our sea music festivals. Personally, Louisa was a great inspiration to me, with that distinctive voice, subtle and supple concertina accompaniment, and magnificent interpretation of traditional song. There was no guile in louisa. She let you know where she stood, as honest a person as you'll ever meet. My deepest condolences to family, close friends, and all who treasured her and learned from her. -Chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen - funeral, 16 Aug 2013 From: GUEST,Liberty Boy (sans cookie) Date: 13 Aug 13 - 09:30 AM So sorry to hear this. A lovely person and a truly inspiring singer. When he came to sing at An Góilín we spent an afternoon trying to seek out relations of his Mum, who incidently was from Crumlin Village in Dublin, with hilarious results. As a woman she was really sympathetic after the death of my late wife Anne, who was a huge fan! Rest well Lou! |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen - funeral, 16 Aug 2013 From: Jim McLean Date: 13 Aug 13 - 08:08 AM I remember a funny incident. A number of years ago, Louis stayed with me at my parents' home in Paisley, near Glasgow. We met a few Scottish folkies in the pub and Louis got the first round in. He asked each one what they wanted and, to a man, they replied "a hauf" (a half). He duly returned with a tray holding six half pints of beer and was surprised when he was greeted with cries of "whit's this?". What he didn't realise wa that "a hauf" in Glasgow means a half gill of whisky! |

Subject: Obit: Louisa Killen From: GUEST,Pete Wood Date: 13 Aug 13 - 04:06 AM I regret to inform Mudcat readers that Louisa Killen died on Friday 9th August after a long bout of illness. Lou's ex wife Margaret came over from the States two months ago to nurse her, which made her last few weeks as pleasant as possible. As a man most of his life, he was the finest English folksinger of his generation. A fine man, and latterly an elegant lady, always a joy to be with and to listen to. The funeral is at Gateshead Crematorium on Friday this week, 10.30 am. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: Dave Hunt Date: 12 Aug 13 - 06:50 PM Sad day and loss of a dear friend...I still treasure a lovely letter saying my singing had opening Lou's eyes to a different meaning in a particular song. A regular visitor to the renowned Giffard folk club in Wolverhampton from the early 60s onwards and a great influence on my early singing. Cheerio pal! |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: DebC Date: 12 Aug 13 - 06:17 PM Richard w. Hughes-what a lovely lovely post and tribute. The photo of Louisa was taken in March 2011 when John Roberts and I visited. I had given Louisa the earrings that she is wearing in the photo; we both marveled that without knowing, I somehow had picked out a pair that matched the blouse she was wearing that day. She put them on and I said, "I have got to get a photo!" She was radiant. One of the times I was glad that I had an iPhone to document the moment. I didn't know Louisa as long as many of you who have posted tributes, but did enjoy the few years of friendship that we did share. Debra Cowan |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: GUEST,Richard W. Hughes Date: 12 Aug 13 - 06:07 PM The larks did not sing melodious today. I heard from Patrick Sky that Louis/Louisa Killen was dead. I first met Louis, through Howard Glasser in Pittsburgh, the first year he came over. We bonded immediately, and our friendship lasted regardless of the years or miles between us. He got me up on stage at Philadelphia Folk Festival in 1968 to play tinwhistle. I cannot begin to acknowledge the debt that I owe to him, for so much that he shared with me. Many the time he stayed at our house, many the songs shared together, whisky and beer beyond all reckoning. Shooting old lever rifles with Walter Scott. Much laughter, and some tears. One of my fondest memories is the two of us playing Clarke whistles, Spalpeen Aroon and The Lament for the Books, and I could feel Louis' harmonies vibrating through my fingertips. I am glad that Margaret was there at the end. I think the Heavenly Choir suddenly found their hands filled with taut lines, as the Ship of Heaven cut through billowing waves on high, bound to God doesn't know where, spurred on by the great voice of a wild, shanty-woman - "neither man nor maid": "Mind yer response...and we'll have only honest Geordie sung here, no "proper King's English" (or ye might catch a rope across the knuckles)." I was pleased to see the photo of Louisa posted by Heather Wood. I had written to Louisa that Louis had made a great man, so I had no doubt that Louisa would make a great woman. Fair winds, old friend, till we meet again. Love' Richard and Carolyn and our love and sympathies to all of you dear friends. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: GUEST,Carol Mohr Date: 12 Aug 13 - 03:34 PM Lou was tremendous inspiration to me as a young musician. So many wonderful shows at the Ark, so many fine ringing choruses. So many of the best songs I know, they still play in my head in his voice. A great loss indeed. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: Dave Swan Date: 12 Aug 13 - 12:15 PM I had one chance to sing with Louis. At the end of a sea music festival in San Francisco all of us on the bill formed a crowd onstage at the end of the day. John Roberts grabbed me, and I found myself between John and Louis for the duration. I couldn't believe my good fortune to stand, and sing, between two of my heroes. HOWEVER, those two spent the set reaching behind me to poke, pinch, and shove each other like a couple of delinquent twelve year old choir boys. It lightened the moment considerably. A treasured memory. My sincere condolences to Louisa's loved ones. Dave |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: CupOfTea Date: 11 Aug 13 - 11:24 PM So many incredible memories of Lou's singing and recitations. I wish I had photos of all the times, but there are indellible pictures in my head, mostly from Fox Valley. ("There's a stain on the floor of the bar room..." comes to mind vividly) One utterly unforgettable episode was chatting with Lou, Katy Early and Jenny Armstrong (daughter of George & Gerry)about Jenny's tattos. There was a vine that started in her instep, and wound around the leg... I remembered the astonished look on Lou's face as she altenately pulled up the leg and then pulled down the top of her shorts to show the top of the image as a green man whose face ended up in a very...inviting? sort of spot. Talking of traditions, and images and song on a very green island in the middle of the river with people who sang the tradition alive. What a loss we have, but what a gift that remains in all he inspired. I have his voice in my head every time I sing "Threescore and Ten" -and I hope I always will. Much sadness Joanne in Cleveland. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: The Sandman Date: 11 Aug 13 - 08:25 PM I had an interesting car journey with Lou, Lou talked unreservedly about the early days of the folk revival and singing. I will never forget Lous' interpretaion of The Flying cloud which in my opinion was wonderful, he was also one of the people that inspired me to learn the concertina. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: CeltArctic Date: 11 Aug 13 - 04:42 PM I'm just listening to a recently purchased CD of Lou's: Ballads and Broadsides. I know I have seen Lou perform back in the Toronto Fiddler's Green Folk Club days (1970s), but I was a child then and admittedly merge all the iconic ballad singer performances together in my memory. Fortunately my father taped several of these concerts on reel-to-reels, so by the time I reached adolescence, and when all my peers were listing to The Police and AC/DC, I was immersing myself in the likes of John Roberts & Tony Barrand, Lou Killen, Peggy Seeger, Eric Bogle, The Friends of Fiddlers Green, Frankie Armstrong and the like. It was on one of these reel-to-reels I heard Lou, performing with his then wife, Sally. It must have been a concert near Christmas time, judging by the wassail songs, and of course, the classic "Geordie Nativity" mentioned above. I still play that recording (which I copied onto a cassette tape before leaving home.) I wonder, did Lou ever make recordings of this or any of the other Pitman's Bible stories? I would LOVE to get a copy if she did. Anyway, I never got the chance to thank Lou personally for helping to shape my career as a balladeer. But I have certainly been grateful and I am honoured to carry on the tradition however I can. Moira Cameron Yellowknife, NT Canada |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: GUEST,george henderson Date: 11 Aug 13 - 02:00 PM Lou was a great influence on many people. I saw him giving a talk on harmony in the tradition in Durham in the late 60's. Demonstrated his talk by singing harmonies with himself on previously recorded tapes. So skilfull. I met Lou on the Goilin club in Dublin a few years ago, in Blaydon a couple of years later and finally at the Birtley celebrations last year. Sadly missed. Condolences to all family and friends. RIP. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: sciencegeek Date: 11 Aug 13 - 01:56 PM Yes, Lynn... Louie's recitations were priceless. We'll just have to hear the voice in our heads. UNCLE ALBERT'S SAD FAREWELL TO THE WORLD by Ed Pickford There's a stain on the floor of the bar room There's a cap in a case by the door There's a verse on a stone in a churchyard In memory of one who's no more... If you turn second left at the High Street Past an old pub called the Swan There's a monument to my Uncle Albert And though of not many heroes, he was one He wasn't a chap prone to boasting And he stood, I bet, only five feet But those five feet he covered in glory As you'll hear when his old comrades meet It was the time of the first Yankee moon men There was racing at Catterick as well And I backed the six-to-four favourite And he was, that is, till he fell That night was the championship darts match And the bar of the club was jammed full We were playing at home in the final And we started - being nearest the bull The 'oohs' and the 'aahs' broke the silence As both teams wrestled with might A game to remember for ever By all - even those who were tight Some favoured cardboard some feathers Some favoured heavy, some light But all were experienced past masters Of split second reckoning and flight Then the nail that was holding the dart board Bent with a fearful creak And there wasn't another to replace it 'Least not straight to hand, so to speak At last the club's Concert Chairman Renowned for his improvised wit Says "Put old Albert beneath it - With his height he'll just about fit" The company looked around at poor Albert Then the Secretary got right to the nub Saying "If he doesn't, the match will be forfeit Come on Albert, for the honour of the club Albert had no need of thinking His blood rose to answer the call And he jammed his head under the dartboard Crying "For Queen, Club, Country an'all" Not flinching not moving he just stood there Except once when he went out the back Until the game flowed in our favour The opposition was beginning to crack All that was needed for victory Was five and double sixteen Now the five was obtained very easy Then silence fell on the scene The player squared up with his arrows It was Sidney, Albert's own son Who'd played very well the whole evening Until now when something went wrong Now it could've been all the excitement Or some smoke that got in his eye Or it could've been his new wellies 'Cos he slipped just before he let fly Albert stood stricken with horror As he watched the oncoming dart Then his teeth gnashed with pain as it hit his gold chain And ricochet'd up through his heart Did he fall like a bird when it's wounded? Did he cry out in the midst of his pain? No, he winced and he spoke in a whisper "Come on, son. Finish the game" Albert's blood dripped down his waistcoat As Sidney took aim and then threw Hitting double sixteen neat, sweet and clean Though how he felt nobody knew "Someone grab Albert!" cried the Steward "Keep him upright!" they all roared Hold him up by his armpits If he falls he might damage the board... There's a stain on the floor of the bar room There's a cap in a case by the door There's a verse on a stone in a churchyard In memory of one who's no more. Thank you, Lou. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen, Aug 9 2013 From: Bat Goddess Date: 11 Aug 13 - 10:06 AM Felipa, that must be from "Geordie Nativity" -- I laughed til I cried when I heard Lou do it at a house concert. Wish "Game of Darts" had been recorded, too -- Lou did that recitation at a Press Room performance back in the '80s. There were just a handful of us sitting at a table up front (Jay Smith having got the calendar out late again and had to call Tom and I to say Lou Killen was performing...) joining in most of the choruses. ("You know these songs, then...") "Joe, a carpenter, who was a bit of a Ca PIT alist, and took a charabanc tour down to Bethlehem to see Nazarus Rovers play Bethlehem United..."
