Hi Eli, I scanned the info that came with the letter before I sent it off and have a letter from Pat to an individual named Don which has two phone numbers -- I can PM you those if you'd like to give them a shot. The landline has a 254 area code and the cell a 406 code.

Any chance anyone is touch with Pat or Victoria Garvey’s estates?

I’m trying to commercially release a “filk” song parody that includes a modified verse from “Blacksmith of Brandywine”. Of course, a compulsory mechanical license (e.g. Harry Fox / Easy Song Licensing) is not possible due to the lyrical modification.

I’ve already tried:
* Phone # and PO Box for Ashcroft Music in Clinton OK (both disconnected)
* https://www.irishusa.com/garvey/ (different Pat Garvey)

Thanks, Eli (www.prometheus-music.com)

The book THE MUSIC DETECTIVE by Pat Garvey says it is "part memory, part made up".
Quite interesting bits about people and places a musician on the road
will identify with. Names of many music venues, I assume to be from
his memory.
Quite interesting section about Lionel Killberg. Member ot THE SHANTY BOYS (Mike Cohen (guitar), Lionel Kilberg ('Brownie' bass) and Roger Sprung (banjo) recorded one album for Elektra, EKL 142 Off Beat Folksongs.
Owner of the Shoostryng label which recorded a bunch of albums Sociologically Singing, and the first recording of Kate Wolf !!!

Anyone else who has read it ? Comments ??

Thomas.

If any other mudcatters are interested in the book and CD, I (re)found it in a pile of books while reorganizing this past weekend and thought it would be a good idea to pass it along to someone else -- any takers?

I see from Jack' link that Pat's ex, Victoria Garvey Armstrong, died in 2014. I don't know the latest re Pat (recovered from a stroke in 2006). Anyway, the book sounds intriguing.

I remember Pat fondly. He was a large force in the fifties at the "Pamir House." He and his bride Victoria were and amazing coupe. Good singers and song writers, both of them.

I have read the book. bb(deckman)nelson

Could be a relation..not sure. Anyway, someone has passed a little book he wrote on to me. It is just a story of how he was hired to track down a stolen banjo...not a biography or anything. I will mail to anyone in US who wants it. First come, first served. I also have an MP3 of him singing a song about Blackbeard the pirate. PM me if you would like a copy and give me your email. mg
