Subject: Which autobiography? From: GUEST,Tunesmith Date: 18 Nov 06 - 03:37 PM Which musician/singer's autobiography would you most like to read ( one that doesn't already exist) - and why? I'll go first! Dave Swarbrick's would be interesting - all the different bands, and musically characters that he's encountered. It would/should be fascinating. |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: JohnInKansas Date: 18 Nov 06 - 03:59 PM Well Art Thieme has made some promises ... I'd hope he's still workin' on it. Some of us have found fairly recently that he's been a bit John |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Little Robyn Date: 19 Nov 06 - 01:10 PM Peter Kennedy's would be interesting. Robyn |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Little Robyn Date: 19 Nov 06 - 01:13 PM And so would Stan Hugill's. He came to NZ when he was a sailor! At least, that's what he told me back in 1972. Robyn |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: GUEST,beachcomber Date: 19 Nov 06 - 02:55 PM Among many others (and I've read a few) I'd love to read one by Burl Ives (Did he do one, by any chance, or is their a biog of him already written that I've missed ? |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Jim Dixon Date: 19 Nov 06 - 04:05 PM As a rule, I don't read books by musicians, but I think I'd read one by Paul Simon if he wrote one. |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Folkiedave Date: 19 Nov 06 - 04:40 PM Can I recommend an existing book, Judith Tick's book of Ruth Crawford Seeger, Peggy's mother. MacColl's book "Journeyman" misses a lot out, as Peggy says in the introduction. |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Bert Date: 19 Nov 06 - 07:06 PM Jake Thakeray Also Billy Connolly |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Little Robyn Date: 20 Nov 06 - 03:58 AM I'm sure I read Burl Ives' one years ago. Don't remember what it was called. Robyn |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Little Robyn Date: 20 Nov 06 - 04:05 AM I found it - 'Wayfaring Stranger' written by Burl himself. Robyn |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: GUEST,Penguin Egg Date: 20 Nov 06 - 07:31 AM Woody Guthrie. "Bound for Glory" was about his early years, but I'd love to read about his later years: his views on his times and the people he met. "Bound for Glory" is well worth a read, by the way. Excellent writer. |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Nov 06 - 07:54 AM I've read the books by Pamela Stephenson on Billy Connolly and they are well worth it. The books are humourous, moving and packed with odd bits of silliness, and the reason why he dyed his beard purple! LTS |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Little Robyn Date: 20 Nov 06 - 01:41 PM And Pete Seeger's one as well. If I remember correctly it's called "How can I keep from singing". It was in the local library. I used to have a copy of "Bound for Glory" but I gave it away - to a Woody fan. Robyn |

Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Bat Goddess Date: 20 Nov 06 - 07:33 PM Penguin Egg, get Ed Cray's recent biography of Woody "Ramblin' Man". Not only a very good read, but more accurate than Woody was in "Bound for Glory". I'd like to read Louis Killan's or Norma Waterson's. Linn |
