Subject: dick miles, last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 20 Mar 09 - 05:54 PM I would like to make it clear,that this Dick Miles[a well known Country and western singer] ,is not to be confused with Dick Miles[the songwriter and singer of traditional songs]http://www.dickmiles.com |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Mar 09 - 05:56 PM So, Dick, are you saying that one or the other of you is dead? |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 20 Mar 09 - 07:56 PM hi, Joe, Dick Miles the singer song writer and singer of traditional songs is still alive. Dick Miles country singer[Last Good bye] had a hit in 1968,he could possibly be alive. I am just trying to make it clear we are two different people. I did have an enquiry at my website,about this recording. neither am I Dick[THE CHOPPER ]Miles,the former USA Table Tennis champion. |

Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Gurney Date: 20 Mar 09 - 11:52 PM So, Dick Miles is not Dick Miles, nor is he Dick Miles. And my old friend Dick Miles has definitely sucked the kumara, so he isn't him either. Can he be just an idea in the mind of God? So, Janie, I'll have to book an appointment, because I'm getting confuddled in my old age! |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Anglo Date: 21 Mar 09 - 12:38 AM Is this the thread where I aver that I am neither the US Supreme Court Chief Justice, nor a CBS news anchor? JR |

Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Liz the Squeak Date: 21 Mar 09 - 03:36 AM Hey, I can beat that, I went to my own funeral! (Actually it was Manitas's Aunty Betty, but it wasn't until we all saw her name printed out formally on the card that it got a bit weird...). LTS |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Fidjit Date: 21 Mar 09 - 04:44 AM So is this the Ghost of, Whats His Name" then? Chas |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 21 Mar 09 - 05:30 AM You are really sure that you are still alive? Is it worth getting a second opinion just in case? Steve |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: bald headed step child Date: 21 Mar 09 - 05:33 AM I'm not dead either, but I'm also not doing life in prison for serial murder. Neither is my dad. But don't tell those I went to school with as they think one of us is. BHSC |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Jim Lad Date: 21 Mar 09 - 05:43 AM Well he hasn't answered so I'll take it that it must be him. Bugger eh? Happy ever after life, Dick? You will be sorely missed. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 21 Mar 09 - 06:43 AM I have been sleeping ,and playing music[well, the banjo]. Dick Miles the concertina player and singer,is alive,and wants to make it clear that he is not responsible for a song called The Last Goodbye,he is thinking of calling his next cd Not the last Goodbye. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,lox Date: 21 Mar 09 - 07:23 AM Thats all very well, but I am much more concerned with which Captain Birdseye you are? |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 21 Mar 09 - 07:33 AM perhaps,I might become a Dick Miles impersonator ,sentenced for ever to singng lastGoodbye and the Candle,anyone got any links to the music of the CW Dick Miles,cw and concertina,mind you there is thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La4LlMCcd_s&feature=channel_page |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,buspassed Date: 21 Mar 09 - 07:36 AM Glad you're not Spartacus then! |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: meself Date: 21 Mar 09 - 07:39 AM Okay, we've got it straightened out, then - he wasn't dead, he was only sleeping. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: meself Date: 21 Mar 09 - 07:41 AM (Someone will have to tell Science it will have to wait a little longer for the body ... ) |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 21 Mar 09 - 08:07 AM so which one has ceased to be, is no more........ |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 21 Mar 09 - 08:51 AM I have a feeling ,Dick Miles[last goodbye] may have died,hopefully not on stage,any boigraphical information on him would be appreciated. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Jim Carroll Date: 21 Mar 09 - 08:52 AM Had me worried when I saw the title of the thread Cap'n Jim Carroll |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Harmonium Hero Date: 21 Mar 09 - 09:07 AM Is this the bandwagon? Only I'd just like to distance myself from the other John Kellys that are doing the rounds, and any dead ones that aren't. John Kelly. (Not dead). (And not somebody else). |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Rog Peek Date: 21 Mar 09 - 09:11 AM All of those in the land of the living, take one step forward..................Dick where are you going....!!!! RIP Rog |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,Elvis Presley Date: 21 Mar 09 - 09:18 AM Just to make it clear that I am not deceased either; it was the other Elvis Presley. You know, the one who recorded a cover version of "The Last Goodbye". |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,Glenn Miller Date: 21 Mar 09 - 09:21 AM I'm still missing |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: curmudgeon Date: 21 Mar 09 - 10:15 AM And I am not a country-western singer - Tom (H) Hall |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Jack Campin Date: 21 Mar 09 - 10:25 AM How do you find time to play and also have such a busy career in table tennis? |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Bill D Date: 21 Mar 09 - 11:13 AM "Time has made a change in me." but my wife still identifies me because I wear the same old clothes. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,EBarnacle on a friend's computer Date: 21 Mar 09 - 12:30 PM As it says in the Princess Bride, "He's not dead, only mostly dead." |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Gurney Date: 21 Mar 09 - 05:18 PM I know that feeling, some mornings. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Waddon Pete Date: 21 Mar 09 - 05:41 PM Dick Miles? Playing the banjo? Surely this must be an imposter! Best wishes, Peter |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Bugsy Date: 21 Mar 09 - 08:25 PM I'M SO CONFUSED! MY HEAD HURTS! Cheers Bugsy |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 21 Mar 09 - 08:47 PM Here's the other Dick Miles with that song, words and a sound file. Blimey! I can see why the Captain "wants to make it clear that he is not responsible for a song called The Last Goodbye," |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 Mar 09 - 04:29 AM ARGHH!!! That's just ... eeeuuww.... It is ... Oh my!! After you with the bucket! LTS |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 22 Mar 09 - 05:53 AM Hilarious, is it not. I just hope he is not a distant relative. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 22 Mar 09 - 09:04 AM Maybe you should be working out the concertina accompaniament... just in case. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Art Thieme Date: 22 Mar 09 - 09:39 AM I get it. All this is about is that he is telling us that he has, "Miles to go before I sleep. Miles to go before I sleep." In the poem, it was brilliant and quite poignant. But here...? Art Thieme |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Surreysinger Date: 22 Mar 09 - 10:08 AM I'm a bit concerned about Ralphie. He is obviously also a person with multiple personalities ... according to his website he went before us into the light five years ago ... and is also "one of the few active blindfold billet, apportation, trumpet levitation, and materialization mediums" in the world. Could come in useful at gigs I suppose ... basket ball playing, trumpet levitating... and a highly spiritual presence.... And I must say, that's an absolutely beautiful corker of a song (didn't notice any singing) Dick - you should be proud!! |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: treewind Date: 22 Mar 09 - 10:27 AM Well, I'd better join in and strenuously assert, for the avoidance of doubt that, THIS is not me, and neither is THIS or THIS or THIS. I wouldn't want anyone getting the wrong idea... Anahata |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Tootler Date: 22 Mar 09 - 11:03 AM And Dick Miles (aka Capt. Birdseye) thinks he has problems!? |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Surreysinger Date: 22 Mar 09 - 12:40 PM I feel left out - can't find anybody with the same name in full... but I'll add that this definitely isn't me! Irene |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: open mike Date: 22 Mar 09 - 02:33 PM http://www.birdseyefoods.com/ oh, and what are baldrics? sorry, wrong thread.. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 06 May 09 - 05:46 PM another ruddy e mail wanting me to send someone the lyrics and music?of the last goodbye. perhaps I should call my next cd not the last goodbye. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Anne Lister Date: 07 May 09 - 11:58 AM Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, I'm not the Anne Lister who was a somewhat predatory lesbian in 19th century Halifax who kept a coded diary of her conquests. Even if we share a birthday. Which is spooky. But really, that's not me in any significant detail apart from name and birthday - and I have to keep fighting it out in Google searches as she gets more hits than I do. Anne |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Folkiedave Date: 07 May 09 - 12:13 PM Aye - that's the worst of it...... |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Aeola Date: 07 May 09 - 05:27 PM Well;;; the Dick Miles I met was dead good!!! |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GeoffLawes Date: 07 May 09 - 05:55 PM Now then Anahata, am I to understand that the ticket I have just purchased for the Traditons Festival in Preston next month does not entitle me to "An Exotic Indugence to the Senses" as offered in your website. Please make the necessary arrangements to avoid having dissatisfied customers - it may only be folk but professional standards should be maintained. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Peace Date: 07 May 09 - 06:40 PM The rumour about the sheep and me isn't true, either. FYI. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 07 May 09 - 06:58 PM Peace is right. It was a goat. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Peace Date: 07 May 09 - 07:58 PM But a damned good lookin' goat I'll have you know. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Guy Wolff Date: 07 May 09 - 09:54 PM Just to keep this all straight . I am not Guy Wolff the CEO of Bayer in Germany or Guy Wolf III the head prosecutor for the State of Connecticut . Thank you . Guy Wolff ;potter/ banjo player . Always good to know . Thanks Dick .. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Gedpipes Date: 08 May 09 - 04:39 AM I wish it was |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 02 Apr 10 - 06:34 AM once again an enquiry has come to my website am I Dick Miles of the last good bye? my reply as always is: he is the famous one,I am the infamous one |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Steve Shaw Date: 02 Apr 10 - 06:58 AM As it's Good Friday I can't see any harm in being dead. It would probably only be temporary. I believe that Jesus had the same trouble as Dick on Easter Sunday, having had to distance himself publicly from the Rolling Stones in his case. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Young Buchan Date: 02 Apr 10 - 10:39 AM This has great possibilities. Firstly can any Mudcatter living near Winterton check whether it was a different Harry Cox who died, and THE Harry Cox is still available for bookings? |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: MartinRyan Date: 02 Apr 10 - 11:36 AM Given the lack of CAPITALS, should the thread title read: dick smiles last goodbye? Regards |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 02 Apr 10 - 12:35 PM Martin Ryan,a capital idea? no, I think not. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Artful Codger Date: 02 Apr 10 - 02:04 PM From the thread title, I was expecting an announcement of a Cher-like "farewell tour"--one of many. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: EBarnacle Date: 03 Apr 10 - 01:57 AM Sheep lie! |
Subject: The Last Goodbye From: The Sandman Date: 01 Aug 10 - 11:27 AM someone has posted this country and western track on you tube, it seems to be linked to my channel. I wish to make it categorically clear, that this is not my work, and possibly is a piece of mischief making, Dick Miles [Concertina player and singer of Traditional and self penned Songs. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Murray MacLeod Date: 01 Aug 10 - 12:35 PM Dick Miles' "The Last Goodbye" would bring a tear, to a glass eye. I simply love the couplet: "And then she left, and I shuddered a minute At the thought of my world, without her in it" Essential listeng imo. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,Dick Miles Daughter Date: 02 Dec 10 - 10:51 PM My dad is Dick Miles that released "The Last Goodbye". He is alive and well. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: EBarnacle Date: 03 Dec 10 - 10:05 AM Well, we can't all be perfect. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Nick Date: 04 Dec 10 - 07:42 AM So, have you actually got the words, dick, and are you going to send them to me or not? "They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize I'm going to miss mine by just a few days". Garrison Keillor |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: Jack Campin Date: 04 Dec 10 - 09:25 AM I would like to make it clear that I am not Dick Miles and I am especially not the one who isn't dead. Estadio El Campin isn't named after me either. Are there any talking country-religion songs with concertina backing? If not maybe there's a niche in the market. |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,Dick Miles Date: 04 Dec 10 - 09:52 AM I am the real Dick Miles and I demand that the folk singing Dick Miles and the Country & Western Dick Miles stop, cease and desist from using my name right now! |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,Dick Miles Date: 04 Dec 10 - 01:17 PM No you're not! And neither are those other two! |
Subject: RE: dick miles last goodbye From: GUEST,Jim Knowledge Date: 04 Dec 10 - 01:37 PM I 'ad some bloke in my cab the other day. "Do you know who I am?" he asks. "No," I said. "Well neither do I." What am I like?
