Subject: Rick Fielding is back on the air!! From: Big Mick Date: 14 Mar 08 - 10:30 PM Yep, I spoke with our Heather today, and she told me about a special edition of the Acoustic Workshop show that Rick hosted for years. Heather has been doing the show since Rick got sick. Recently the gent that engineered the show and hosted the show before Rick let her know that he had tape running for his show and would just let it run out during Rick's show. The upshot of that is that there are several years of tapes of parts of Rick's show. Apparently he has put together a special show. Heather does not know what is on it, so she will be hearing it for the first time with you. I am sick that I can't listen in, but I will be very busy on Monday, St. Pat's and all. But I will listen to it later. So for all of you that loved Rick, and won't be out on St. Pat's, have a listen. You can listen on CIUT, on their live stream by following the link and doing your thing.

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: Peace Date: 14 Mar 08 - 10:59 PM That's 5:00-6:00 PM in Alberta. Mick, do they archive the show? |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: Big Mick Date: 14 Mar 08 - 11:06 PM Not usually, but Heather tells me she is taping it. We will see what we can do about making it available later. Mick |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: katlaughing Date: 14 Mar 08 - 11:28 PM Oh, my...that is wonderful and sad, both. Your thread title gave me a start. It really is wonderful. I'll definitely listen in and be thinking of Heather, too. Hugs for all of the tenderhearts who listen in. Thanks, Mick, kat |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: Big Mick Date: 14 Mar 08 - 11:38 PM I understand your finding sadness, but I find none, folks. It is always about the coming and the going, and I sure miss Rick about every day. But this is great, and gives us a chance to listen to him once again. Heather was clearly looking forward to it when she called me. Just enjoy, and remember. We are fortunate to have had him grace this place and our lives. All the best, Mick |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: kendall Date: 15 Mar 08 - 08:24 AM I will be listening. |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: Jeri Date: 15 Mar 08 - 07:48 PM I can't get the show on my dial-up anymore. They upgraded me out of the picture, but I recently found out my wireless, although not the optimum broadband, was working well enough to stream the show. I'll be 'there'. |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: Bill D Date: 15 Mar 08 - 07:56 PM I'll be there. |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Mar 08 - 09:05 PM Just so it doesn't take away from his billable hours with LFPS.........He has really upped the corporate coffers since he's been able to take time and space out of his personal equation. The ability to layabout for a huge number of clients at the same time makes him invaluable. I might mention too that some of the other partners are falling down on the job. Spaw...Founding Partner, LFPS Lane,Fielding,Patterson,& Swan---Layabouts-At-Large We do nothing for you;Its the least we can do......the very least. |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: Fortunato Date: 15 Mar 08 - 09:14 PM You know 'spaw you've got an awful lot of energy, all that thinking and typing, for a true layabout... Unless of course you've tricked someone into thinking and typing for you, now that would layaboutness par excellance. Well, all that wore me out, I really must go lie down... |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Mar 08 - 09:18 PM Yeah Chance......Took it outta' me I know......... but, it does get me ready to listen to Heather's show Monday and enjoy all of it. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: open mike Date: 15 Mar 08 - 11:16 PM Hey.. whatever happened to that Lane? IS that the same guy who was fire chief in Longview Washington and moved to Couer d; Lane? or is Lane your last name, Mick? There was a mudcatter who occasionally joined us on the paltalk room--he loved to sing Tom Paxton songs I think his name was Lane W or W Lane...I guess you are a different person.... |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: katlaughing Date: 16 Mar 08 - 12:32 AM Are you pulling his leg, Laurel? Big Mick is the Lane of LFPS.:-) |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: Dave Swan Date: 16 Mar 08 - 10:26 AM I'll do my best to listen in. Mind you that's a busy day. I've got three couches booked to lie on and a half case of beer and a party bag of Cheetos to put away. It'll be good to hear him. Thanks to all involved. Best to Heather. D |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: SINSULL Date: 16 Mar 08 - 10:59 AM Is "Danny Boy" included? It is St. Patrick's Day. I'll be there. |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: GUEST,Heather Fielding Date: 16 Mar 08 - 09:58 PM Steve Fruitman was the engineer for Rick's show for many years and I was surprised and delighted to find that he had these recordings and thrilled when he offered to put this show together. Tony Quarrington and Peter T. will be in the studio to add their two cents. Heather |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Mar 08 - 10:19 PM Glad to hear you'll have those two along for the show Heather. I hope there are a few minutes of the Dylan shows Rick and PT did together. I'm looking forward to hearing whatever he's done and I know you'll get a good size 'Cat contingent listening. Much Love Spaw |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: Marion Date: 17 Mar 08 - 12:24 AM Thanks for letting us know. I will be sure to listen tomorrow. Marion |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! From: katlaughing Date: 17 Mar 08 - 12:30 AM Me, too, Heather, what Spaw said. Thanks for visiting us to let us know. Night Owl hasn't been online in years. She is now, with a new computer, and will definitely be tuning in. It will be a nice way for her to *reconnect* so to speak. |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: GUEST Date: 17 Mar 08 - 06:05 PM This will be way too late for those of us who have to work on the European side of the pond. Is it being archived anywhere? |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: Jeri Date: 17 Mar 08 - 06:08 PM Heather said they were planning on recording it. I'm not sure if they yet know where they're going to put it afterwards. |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Mar 08 - 06:27 PM Anyone want to try some Mudchat at the same time? Kinda' like the old radio show..............Probably should have thought of that earlier................my bad........... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: Fortunato Date: 17 Mar 08 - 06:41 PM hey 'spaw, I'm tied up (don't get your nipples hard I'm otherwise engaged) so I can't chat during the first part of the show, but I'll check the thread and the chat before the show's over. BUT I'LL BE LISTENING TO RICK THANKS AGAIN MICK AND HEATHER AND CIUT regards chance |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: Jeri Date: 17 Mar 08 - 06:53 PM I think I'm pushing the bandwidth as it is, but if there's a chat, I may try it out. I'd suggest opening another room and just announcing its name on this thread. Technically, a private room. but if everybody knows about it, they can all get in. (With cookies, of course) ...or we can just blather in this thread like old times. 7 minutes |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: Fortunato Date: 17 Mar 08 - 06:58 PM hi jeri, how do you be? |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Mar 08 - 07:09 PM Funny........The voice is so familiar in the medium and just sitting here I'm immediately thinking Rick's right there.........What a fine idea this was. Spaw |
|

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: bfdk Date: 17 Mar 08 - 07:12 PM And I can't open the flamin' link..!! Grrrr! |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: Fortunato Date: 17 Mar 08 - 07:14 PM strange isn't it to hear Rick exchanging banter. I didn't know a 'live show' like this could feel more evocative of the person than a cd recording, but it is for me. |
|

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: Duke Date: 18 Mar 08 - 09:10 AM Although I enjoyed the show very much, it was a little sad to hear Rick once again. I knew him years ago when he was single and we hung out together for a while. We had a mutual friend, Alan McCray, who had passed on and we enjoyed remembering him and his music. As things happen, we lost touch with one another although I always knew what he was up to. The last time I saw him was when David Rae came into town and I saw Rick at the concert. We chatted a bit, but I spent the rest of the night with David. I think that it would be a great idea for Rick to "appear" on the radio show every once in a while. Or every week for that matter. |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: Peter T. Date: 18 Mar 08 - 09:45 AM thanks to all Mudcat listeners, it was fun -- and Steve has hundreds of hours of material. I was reminded just how long Rick had been doing the show, and the encyclopaedic range of his knowledge. And doing what he loved to do.... yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: kendall Date: 18 Mar 08 - 10:22 AM I missed it...damn. |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: Bill D Date: 18 Mar 08 - 10:50 AM See if it really comes up on SugarCamp on Wed, Kendall |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: Big Mick Date: 18 Mar 08 - 01:12 PM You are welcome very much!!! I am very happy that everyone got to hear it. I was performing and couldn't tune in, but I will be anxious to hear it on Sugar Camp. Glad to have been of service. All the best, Mick |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: GUEST,Heather Fielding Date: 18 Mar 08 - 08:40 PM You know Rick never wanted to record his show, it just wasn't his thing, and Steve never meant to record them, he just kept the tape running. We only have half of every show but it's so lucky that we have anything at all and I'm thrilled and thankful that Mr. Fruitman remembered what he had in his archives. Steve will have that on his website on Wednesday, he said he would and he's very good about these things. Steve told me after the show that he had perhaps as much as three hundred hours of Rick's show, he has it in chronological order but doesn't know who is on which tape. He is retiring next year and one of his projects will be to sort this out and transfer it to digital, so I think there will be more to come. Cheers, Heather |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: Bill D Date: 18 Mar 08 - 09:13 PM Oh, what a gift! So many will be glad to hear some of those. It's probably good that time has passed.... |
|
Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: BigAl Date: 19 Mar 08 - 09:18 AM I was taken back about 30 years on Monday night when I heard the tape of Rick singing Victoria--in French no less--popularized by Garolou on their eponymous 1976 album release. Garolou was formed by the Lalonde brothers, Marc and Michel, from Cornwall. Marc and I lived together in Montreal in 1972 after we put together a blues band to play the only hotel in Riviere Baudette on Highway 2 near the Ontario border--"the last hotel in Quebec" as we called it. Marc introduced me to his brother Michel, who was fascinated by the fingerpicking I had picked up from listening to old Dave Van Ronk records in the 60s and demanded that I teach him how to do it. I still remember the smile that spread slowly across his face as he finally got it, his thumb alternating rhythmically on the bass strings while his fingers walked the others. What joy! In the fall of 72 I went to grad school and we retired our blues band, but Marc and Michel went on to great success in the folk idiom with Garolou. I had the chance to play with them two years later when they had teamed up with Steve Merritt and his touring circus wagon in Merritt's Chautauqua project in Alexandria. Great to hear the song again. |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: Peter T. Date: 19 Mar 08 - 11:09 AM Don't you just love Mudcat! Where else would you get the inside dope on Garolou.....? yours ever, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 20 From: Jeri Date: 19 Mar 08 - 07:19 PM Thanks loads, Steve! It was great to listen on Monday, and I'll probably listen again. It's amazing you recorded him at all, but those of us who miss him thank you profoundly for sharing. |

Subject: RE: Rick is back on the air!! Tonight! 17 March 2008 From: katlaughing Date: 23 May 08 - 03:00 PM How kewl is this? I was sitting in my office working on jewellery while listening to www.hober.com internet radio when WHO do I hear but Rick playing his own "Rag, eh?" I have the Lifeline CD with it, but it's just neat that his music shows up like this, as well as those other Mudcatters who are on hober radio. Ta, Rickdarlin'! |
