Subject: RE: BS: Hey, Spaw!! From: Art Thieme Date: 11 Jun 08 - 12:19 AM Art here: Well, the storms here recently hit our phone company hard and I haven't been able to dial up to get on line for two days. Peace, your P.M. confused me. I just answered it thinking Ron Stevens was actually you all this time we've both been posting here at Mudcat. Anyhow, Ron, I just sent a personal message back to Peace thinking it was you I was talking to. Ron, ---- sure I remember you. I tie you in, for some reason, with Art Rosenbaum. Maybe it was the time in the 1970s we brought Art Rosenbaum in to do a benefit with a bunch of us on the show---for Sing Out! magazine. As I recall it, Phil Ochs was on the show too---and Malvena Reynolds; and Marjorie Guthrie was there too for some reason. George Robinson was the manager of the Quiet Knight either before or after you were in that position. Mike Urschel was there then also. I recently saw Richard Harding at the Memorial gathering for Fred Holstein a while back--at the Old Town School Of Fake Music. It is real strange but the best reunions lately all take place at the wakes for friends.------ I remember, also, you having quite strong opinions on folk music---ones I generally shared too--but you seemed angrier than I was... Still, here at Mudcat I get called a "Folk Nazi" sometimes for saying like it was in our times. As a result, I am here less and less now.---- And you were married to Judy, right?! A lovely girl! Nice to be sort of in touch. Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey, Spaw!! From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Jun 08 - 05:48 PM Actually, Amos, what I am chewing my nails over is that Youtube video where Winona Ryder is having sex with that smartass little wooden dummy. You know the one I mean? How can she care that much about him? Okay, he's really hard, I'm sure...but that's not everything! He's obviously a major @$$hole and he's only about 2 and half feet tall! I just don't know if I can handle it. Are they serious? Or was it just a passing fling? There are many sleepless nights ahead here for me, I can assure you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey, Spaw!! From: GUEST,Ron Stevens Date: 09 Jun 08 - 03:19 PM Art - I happened upon this site by accident and discovered you here. I wonder if you remember me from the Quiet Knight days, during 1971-72 when I held the inflated title of "manager." I left to work for Michael Cooney and the Newport Folk Foundation's "Traveling Folk Festivals" (a short-lived, if noble venture). Ron Stevens |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey, Spaw!! From: Big Mick Date: 09 Jun 08 - 12:42 AM You friggin' prick!! Of all the lowdown, two bit, half assed things you could do, and you go nice???????????? I waited all this damn time so's I could blast you when you responded, bit my tongue, squeezed my privates, and hung back and YOU GO NICE???????? How the hell do I deal with this??? A whole weekend of holding back, laying in the damn weeds, and you do this. Bastard..... But in the meantime, Happy Birthday, buddy. It does my heart good to know that you are staying the path, doing what must be done, and holding each other tight. Your family, as always, are in my prayers. May you be around a very long time. I may never recover from this. Love, Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey, Spaw!! From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Jun 08 - 12:32 AM And I end the day reading these, uh, hmmmm........these, uh,........tributes.....yeah, that'll do...........these tributes and personal greetings from all of you Moving into a bit of reality...........It was a nice day. we had a great meal of shark, shrimp, scallops, and clams, which was a major pigout for all. I asked the rest of the family what they wanted for my birthday dinner and that was it.....they know what the old man really wants. And for the past two weeks the family has included Michael......at home and doing great........at least for now. We're all working hard to keep things together and so is Mike at this point. Its been a long and tough year with highs and lows and much crying and sadness but we've worked our way to this point and maybe we can keep working through it all one day at a time. We've had some fantastic people with us along the way and they all feel the possibilities are good. He's pretty much just "teen-ager" at the moment, albeit goth and emo, but still pretty normal in many ways. We are certainly one helluva' lot further along then we were and he is soooooooo much better......a different kid in many ways. We'll take the future as it comes. Which leaves me wanting to tell you how important and vital and supportive you have been. Many on this thread have been in regular communication and sending us their best thoughts and prayers and whatever else is to be had. I've been here 10 years and I can't begin to list all the many times that folks here have been there when we needed them........and I have had more than a fair share of need. Karen and I both want to thank you for all you've done these many years but especially in this past one......the roughest of our lives. I haven't been on as much this past year but perhaps I'll be on a bit more down the road. Then again, can Walky take more of me than he already has? Thanks for being here............ Much Love Pat, aka, nastyass ol' Spaw(;<)) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey, Spaw!! From: Amos Date: 08 Jun 08 - 11:39 AM Well, fact o' the case is that they are out workin' a conspiracy to celebrate Spaw's burfday. I will leave it to Spaw to reveal the grimy details as it unfolds in actuality, but the plan sure sounded exciting. They tried to recruit me, but I declined, having been made aware (through Spaw's rich reports) how often the Reg boy plans gang agley. And when that ugly gang gangs agley, you know you've been ganged proper. Anyway, y'old fart, fuck you and have a wonderful day. What are ya now, eighty? A |
