Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest From: bobad Date: 16 Mar 08 - 08:40 PM Congratulations Adrien, looks like you've got a good line-up there, am looking forward to it. It's nice to be able think about being out there listening to great music on a warm day in July with all this @#$!*% snow on the ground. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest From: Beer Date: 16 Mar 08 - 08:48 PM Your right Bobad, this winter has been a long one.. However the signs are starting to appear. I'm now feeding Red Wing Blackbirds and Grackles. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest From: bobad Date: 16 Mar 08 - 08:52 PM We heard red wings the other day but haven't seen any yet. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: topical tom Date: 16 Mar 08 - 10:25 PM Great job, Adrien! The lineup looks fantastic.Can't wait to be there! Compliments to you and the planning committee on a bang-up job!So glad that you carried the music on! |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 16 Mar 08 - 11:31 PM Thanks tom. Booking and balancing the acts to me is the most fun. Yes it is work but as they say if it is fun than it ain't work. Now the real work begins. The marketing, the begging for a few bucks, the actual presentation on the grounds. will we have enough volunteers, will we be able to do this or that. There are still a thousands questions to be solved. But it will be done. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: john f weldon Date: 17 Mar 08 - 03:51 PM Yahoo! Great name for a Festival! Great line-up! Looks like some real fun in July. Man, the snow is deeeeeep here, 6 feet in places. Will July ever come? |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: C. Ham Date: 18 Mar 08 - 07:10 PM Looking forward to being there. I'm very happy to know that Mr. Murdoch will be back. And Garnet Rogers is always a treat. I remember him as a skinny young fiddler backing up his older brother. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 18 Mar 08 - 07:52 PM That is great Mr.Ham. It will be good see/meet you, "Again". He! he! Hope the winter is treating you well on your trips from Toronto to Montreal. |

I hope that you have nice weather and a large turn-out. and as far as songbirds and blossoms go... I'm up to my ass in them right now in southeast Georgia... full blown spring in Dixie, y'all.. I'll bring a taste back....in awhile..... stay well...R. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: bobad Date: 22 Mar 08 - 09:19 AM Thanks Ron, rub it in to those of us who are still up to our asses in snow and sub-zero temperatures. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 22 Mar 08 - 11:27 AM you're welcome bobad, but at least I didn't mention the fresh Georgia shrimp, grouper and oysters... been recording some of the bird calls for the archives....mockingbirds are fun... talk about a repertoire... but the marsh mufferill is elusive... flys backwards to keep the wind out of its eyes!!! |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 24 Mar 08 - 08:06 PM Just back from the eastern townships where the snow is even deeper than here. Thanks for the good luck Ron and hope your in the area when it happens. Sure sounds like your in a fine place with the food, nature and good music. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 25 Mar 08 - 09:06 AM youbetcha Beer slowly heading up to the Smokey Mtns. for a week then over to Nashville to hook up with some friends. I'll keep that date in mind, it's still a bit early to tell.... what town is the Fest. near? |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 25 Mar 08 - 10:36 AM Ormstown. Just about 10 minutes South toward the U.S. border. Go to the site type in your address and the Festival address and presto!!. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 08 - 02:09 PM One question and it's important. Will the smoked meat folks be there this year? |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 13 Apr 08 - 05:57 PM At this point they won't Peace. Main reason we are not doing a Blues Sunday like we did last year. The fellow running the Smoke Meat restaurant is a blues fanatic and also runs a blues venue I believe 3 time a week at his place of business. We are currently working on putting on a supper but no details at this point. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 08 - 05:59 PM No problem. The fire guys gonna do hamburgers/h ds? |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Clipper Date: 13 Apr 08 - 06:09 PM Ad, I can always ask Pete if he's up to bringing his meat for Saturday..let me know if you think I should ask him. This years Fest is going to be a great time. I'm looking forward to it. So who thinks they can make it this year? |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 13 Apr 08 - 06:44 PM At this point the food thing is still being discussed. Thanks clipper, but do not ask Pete. We have kitchen facilities at the Orchard and we are working on a supper. There will be a fast food set up but not confirmed who will do it. The Franklin Fire Department will be asked if they are interested. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 13 Apr 08 - 07:22 PM A mere 259 miles from here. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 08 - 07:34 PM Good chance I'll get there. Hope so, anyway. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 13 Apr 08 - 08:28 PM I hope you do to Peace. Jeri!!, New Hampshire is not that far. If you decide to come please bring up a case of Scotch. You could bootleg the stuff here and it would pay for your trip. John W. and I will be the first in line. As I understand the cheapest place to but liquor is in your State. All kiddying aside, do think about coming. Beer (adrien) |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 08 - 08:32 PM Think Marlboro cigarettes. Forget the scotch. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 08 - 08:33 PM I know cigarettes are BAD. That said, acknowledged--nay, PROCLAIMED, let me say that scotch is not good for people. I had a few drinks of it once and it made me sick as all get-out the next day. VERY sick. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 13 Apr 08 - 08:43 PM Jeri the transporter of drugs... sheesh! Listen, booze is cheaper in Canada, or it was, and I don't know if I'd want to be seen buying anything but single malt. And what kind of Marlboro? Red? White? Green? Now, I can't take money for this stuff or I'm selling black market, so I have to ask: what's in it for me? |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 08 - 09:00 PM Red. I roll my own most times and prefer that my half dozen a day are fairly strong. I had two drinks of scotch once. One of these and one of these. Gave me a ripping headache for two days (and nights). Bad stuff that 'water of life'. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 13 Apr 08 - 09:20 PM Oh! oh!, Peace, I think we hit upon a person who has bartered before. Jeri, you bring the single malt and I will find you a place to stay. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 13 Apr 08 - 09:39 PM Oh... like I haven't heard THAT one before! I'm not buying a CASE of single malt, and I'm being 'double teamed'. Not fair. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 08 - 09:46 PM LOL |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 13 Apr 08 - 09:58 PM LoL as well. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 13 Apr 08 - 10:15 PM Off to bed. Been working my butt off all weekend laying hardwood flooring. You know Jeri, maybe half a case of single malt would do. in exchange I would get you a place for Friday and Saturday night along with a free breakfast. A single malt would sure be nice right about now. Peace!,I was a smoker. Four and a half years now since my last drag. I don't crave it and I don't think i will ever smoke again, but i have to say as an "X" smoker, the wonderful feeling in that inhalation was as good as sex. Maybe that is why after sex so many folks would light up. Just to lengthen that great feeling. I better go to bed. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 13 Apr 08 - 10:34 PM LOL Times is tough in ol' Quebec. Hey, Bobad, let's get him one of those blow-up dolls. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 13 Apr 08 - 10:37 PM There's like some sort of triple entendre there, or maybe just a double double. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot ...uh, never mind. Off to bed |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 13 Apr 08 - 10:50 PM See, you never know where Mudcat threads will lead. Who would have thought that a thread about a music festival would become so-let me find the word-"racy" {in the risque sense of that word}? It's a good thing you guys are going off to bed. :o) ** Congratulations, Beer, on your new festival. As was said earlier, "Apple Hollow Music Fest" is a great name for a festival! And I'm glad to see that Bruce Murdoch will be performing at this festival. As was the case at last year's concert, I'm sure he'll have some great songs to share. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 13 Apr 08 - 11:01 PM Never mind these down in the gutter thinkers Azizi. It sure would be great if you could get up here. Now do we barter? Just kidding. Good night Jeri......... |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Beer Date: 14 Apr 08 - 07:58 PM Thanks Azizi, I have to admit that I really like the name as well. It was a natural fit. Were located in the Chateauguay Valley(hollow) and the spot is an apple orchard. Actually it might be a good idea to insert the McMillan web site where the festival is taking place. Let me try the blue clicky. www.mcmillanorchards.com/ |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 14 Apr 08 - 08:18 PM That link isn't working, Ad. Maybe this will. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 14 Apr 08 - 08:34 PM Yo, Beer (and I note it's 'Beer' and not 'Scotch'), you have to put the http:// in front of it, as in "http://www.mcmillanorchards.com/". I fixed it for you. Marlboro Man's link (different site) works fine. It looks like a lovely site. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 14 Apr 08 - 09:20 PM Thanks Jeri, I got to do the blue thing but couldn't figure out what went wrong. Your right about my name but I can't afford Scotch so Beer was the next best thing. anyway, give the festival some though and I will get you and your partner(if you have one)a place to stay which would help keep your cost down. No bartering required. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 14 Apr 08 - 09:21 PM Ahem. Beer is speaking for himself there. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 14 Apr 08 - 09:32 PM LOL, your to much. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 14 Apr 08 - 09:40 PM I might have a place to stay already... maybe. Depends. Bruce, I don't hear any 'bartering' on your part. Of course I don't see any safe way out of this, so maybe I better just give up now. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 14 Apr 08 - 10:18 PM No, no, no. No bartering. Just think RED. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: GUEST,john f weldon Date: 15 Apr 08 - 07:58 PM This thread has taken a strange turn from apples and music, but I have to venture an opinion here. The very cheap scotch you can get in New Hampshire is pure rotgut. The good stuff, Talisker, Lagavulin, LaPhroig, etc. costs about the same everywhere (big bucks) because it's taxed at source by the Brits. It's even expensive in Scotland. But, yeah, apparently as well as beer & scotch & hamburgers, I'm looking forward to some music as well! |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 15 Apr 08 - 08:24 PM I promise John there will be. Music that is. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 16 Apr 08 - 08:20 PM This is one post from droppin' off the page. Not now, though. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Clipper Date: 16 Apr 08 - 10:22 PM I'll help keep it current as well.. :-} Squeezebox? Mama's got a squeeze box, daddy never sleeps at night..I never really understood those lyrics. Ad, have anything to do with your band's name? |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 16 Apr 08 - 11:19 PM Lol Clipper. I never understood that line. Well let me think for a moment. Nah!, that can't be it. Oh!, the question as to our band name was given by my wife as I was wondering what to call it because of some gig we had to do and they wanted to put up posters with a band name. So the good lady said: " You have four members playing string instruments and an accordion. Why not call yourselves Four Strings and a Squeeze box". End of story. Back to the hockey game. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 17 Apr 08 - 10:35 AM okay, Peace... Hallow Apples eh ? I just want to know if the apples are really hollow. just think of the contraband possibilities.... and in the South it would be Apple Holler... but I've never heard one that loud in Apple-achia |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 17 Apr 08 - 11:44 AM ps... I'll be sitting in with Willie Dunn tonite in Ottawa at the Atomic Rooster, 303 Bank St. So if any cyber-cats are in the area, drop in. It'll be fun.... Atomic Roosters, Hollow Apples what's this world coming to ? |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 17 Apr 08 - 07:25 PM Willie Dunn eh!. Now there is a fellow I've heard about more than once but have not had the pleasure of hearing or seeing him perform. Brother Norman speaks very highly of him. Maybe next year if all goes well this year we could do a little talking on a possible Dunn Bankley performance. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 19 Apr 08 - 01:30 PM no prob at this end Beer... he's quite the living legend...did the 1st music video in Canada for the National Film Board, way back... "Ballad of Crowfoot".... very strong writer as well....a pioneer, esp. of Native issues set to music... proud to call him friend and brother and still be playing together... it would be a pleasure to introduce you.... speaking of friends... I hope Peace plays that 'Apple-loosa' song at the Apple Hollow Fest... you know''' "I'd like to take an appaloosa and ride out on the range" (When I Cannot Sleep at Night) |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 19 Apr 08 - 01:54 PM Well, Daddy's dancin to the accordion tunes... he's gettin jiggy with it. Obvious to me. Geeze youse guys. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 19 Apr 08 - 04:44 PM 'jiggy with it'...... good one gnu Harry Hibbs rocks......! |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 19 Apr 08 - 04:50 PM Does Willie live on a reservation? Which one? Harry Hibbs......I still have some of his records. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 19 Apr 08 - 05:15 PM Off-topic Well, Daddy's dancin to the accordion tunes... he's gettin jiggy with it -gnu gnu, I'm curious about your use of the hip-hop phrase "gettin' jiggy". As far as I know, "getting jiggy" means "dancing dirty". It's another way of saying "dancing freaky" or "gettin down" on the dance floor [the latter being a compliment and nothing more]. I think that "gettin jiggy {with it}" largely refers to sensous butt shakin. But I suppose that phrase could just mean "showing your best dance moves" [since nowadays, in social dancing, the best dance moves are the ones that are the sexiest]. Did you mean that Daddy {you or your father?} are/is dancing or are/is going to show your best moves {dance your heart out} to the accordian music [at the festival]? I'm curious because I'm interested in how African American/hip-hop slang is used among various populations {and age groups} in different geographical locations. I'm asking this on this public forum because some other folks might also be interested in the meaning of this phrase and what you meant when you used it. * Thanks in advance for your response. * Of course, it's also possible that I'm the only one interested in this and/or other folks already know what you meant when you used that phrase-and the word "Daddy". |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 19 Apr 08 - 08:19 PM Um, ah, er, gosh... dance a jig? Irish jig? Accordian music figures large in many Celtic tunes. I didn't mean to step over any boundaries. And, I don't think I did. If Will can come into my living room and say that phrase on Oprah's show and I happen to use it as a jest.... ?? Come on, eh? So. I meant it as a joke, within it's context. As far as Daddy being me or my old man and the rest of the questions... it was a joke. Calm down, take a pill... DARE I say chill? Lighten up darlin! |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 19 Apr 08 - 08:32 PM Oh shite! Sorry. I said "darlin". Not PC these days. I should have said Madam.... er, Ms... er... sorry darlin... I am just a backwoods Canuck. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 19 Apr 08 - 08:45 PM You devil, you. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 19 Apr 08 - 08:57 PM Hey gnu! So you want me to lighten up? Well, I'm tempted to say, but it's gonna be summer soon, and therefore I'll be getting darker", but if I say that you might think I'm serious about that too. Oops! I said it didn't I. Well, that was a joke, but my question about you use of the word "jiggy" and "daddy" were my asking questions in an arm-chair etymologist kinda way. I know I have a weird sense of humor {humour}, but I didn't mean my questions to be interpreted as though I was on a set {angry} or that I took exception to any slang terms of African American coinage or subsitute meanings being used by folks other than African Americans. As Oprah Winfrey said in one of Senator Barack Obama's rallies in South Carolina this year, that would be "playin me small". Before you mentioned it, I didn't "get" that the word "jiggy" came from the word "jig" meaning "dance" or "a type of dance". See, that's why sometimes I dare to ask questions even when there's a possiblity that folks might mis-interprete your motives for doing so. I have to tell you, gnu, part of the reason why I dared to ask you that question, is that I feel as though I know you as a friend on this forum, and I knew you were cool {as in "good people"}. And the other reason why I didn't hesitate to "butt" in and ask that question about whether jiggy meant the same thing as I thought it did {and that you confirmed it did} was that through their postings on this forum, I have also grown to know the other folks who have posted on this thread, and I knew that they were also cool, and I also consider them my online friends, and therefore wouldn't I thought that they wouldn't mind me going off-topic in this conversation for a minute or so. [It just occurred to me that Senator John McCain uses that phrase "my friends" a lot. Well...when I use it, I mean it]. And so, gnu, my friend, I'mma say the same thing to you that you said to me-"Calm down, take a pill... DARE I say chill?" And don't forget to lighten up! Summer's just around the corner. Best wishes, Azizi :o) |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 19 Apr 08 - 09:12 PM gnu, I just saw your second post to me. The first thing that popped into my mind when I read it was "There you go again". hinNow which politician was it that said "There you go again? I think it was Reagan...Sorry I've become a political junky. It's becoming an addiction...I'd rather think in musical or slang terms. What I mean,gnu, is that it's okay that you called me "darlin". I know you don't mean it in the sweatheart sense of the word. Then again, even if you called me "sweatheart", I know lots of men call women that but they don't mean anything personal about it. As the hip-hoppers say, it's all good. And I'm serious about that. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: maeve Date: 21 Apr 08 - 08:09 AM So I have to ask, Beer, how are the Apple Hollow Music Fest plans coming along? The website is clear and interesting. You've booked some very good musicians, and attracted some posts here that are...ummm... also interesting. I hope reservations pour in as quickly as barter banter has butted in. Best wishes, maeve |

|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 22 Apr 08 - 02:57 PM Just saw Ron's pic and bio on the site. So tell me this: why do I keep looking older and him younger? Sheesh. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 22 Apr 08 - 08:31 PM smoke and mirrors mixed with different time zones will usually do it |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 23 Apr 08 - 07:31 PM I understand about the smoke and time zones, but what are the mirrors for? |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 28 Apr 08 - 12:37 AM Yes, a great edition to the festival is Ron Bankley. He will be on stage with Bruce and will participate in the "Song Writers' Circle" as well. More information on will be coming. A few more things to be ironed out. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 28 Apr 08 - 06:47 PM That's good news about Ron joining your festival, Beer! It sounds like your festival will be another winner. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 28 Apr 08 - 06:54 PM And for some reason this old song popped into my head but with a change in lyrics-"It's Cherry Pink and Apple Hollow time". But then I goggled it and it turns out the words are actually-It's "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White". White? Who knew?! Not that this has anything to do with the price of beans in Boston. But I just felt like sharing. Here's a link in case anyone wants to check out the words to that song that probably isn't a folk song, not that it matters to me since I'm not really a folkie, or maybe I am. It depends what the meaning of folkie is. http://askville.amazon.com/words-song-Cherry-pink-apple-blossom-white-/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=9335243 |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 28 Apr 08 - 07:33 PM Bruce and Adrien didn't have to coax me much... it's a pleasure to contribute in some small way to this sort of home-grown event....in the good ol' summertime... May it grow into a long running, creative and successful festival in the years to come....and put a smile on many ears..... one July at a time.. |

I'm preparing to post my passport paperwork presently. Thing is, I can get into Canada without it but maybe won't get back into the US unless I get deported, in which case, who knows where they'll send me. |

Breakfast,lunch and supper will be available at a very affordable cost. But the main change/addition is in the Start up time for Saturday affecting all groups as we have added the Songwriters' Circle for 90 minutes starting at 3 p.m. I am thrilled to announce that Mike Regenstreif will host this program. Once you have read his bio you will understand why I'm so happy to have him accept the invitation. Check out all the site as there are other minor changes and additions. Adrien P.S. Thanks Bruce |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 01 May 08 - 05:13 PM Mike will do a fantastic job, Adrien. I am thrilled he's going to be there. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: C. Ham Date: 01 May 08 - 06:53 PM Excellent news. I've seen Mike lead songwriter sessions at several folk festivals and he's really great at drawing out the songwriters and getting them to provide insight into the process. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 03 May 08 - 12:03 PM Thanks folks. Would have commented before but since Thursday afternoon I have been in bed with high temperature, chills, aching bone, sore throat and so on. In fact that is where I'm heading as soon as I'm finished here. So much for the flue shot. It didn't spare me this time. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: john f weldon Date: 03 May 08 - 12:08 PM Beer; That isn't flu. Sinusitis or Pneumonia, like I just had for 2 months! A high temperature at your age means likely bacterial infection. Get some antibiotics. Dr. John the hypochondriac |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 03 May 08 - 01:46 PM From a former public health tech, the most obvious culprit is the flu. Feel better, Beer. Sleep and drink a lot. Of water. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: topical tom Date: 03 May 08 - 04:43 PM Hi Adrien! Sorry to hear that you're feeling lousy.Lots of fluids, something for fever and plenty of rest are the best remedies, it seems.Hope you're feeling better soon! Congrats on the sweep by the Detroit Red Wings!Now the Canadians...(shudder, shudder) |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 05 May 08 - 08:29 AM Up at an early hour went behind the house and did a little fishing and talked to the geese who looked at me as if say "Man he's a Sick fellow". But not true, I feel great and ready to get back at the festival business. Still want to put on a "Youth Stage" so I have to do a little work on this aspect. Thanks to all for your get well wishes. What a beautiful Monday morning. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 05 May 08 - 08:56 AM I'm glad you're feeling better, Adrien. And I love your idea about a Youth Stage! What a great addition that will be! I hope this will provide opportunities for children & youth to experience some singing along and hopefully also some dancing along to music that isn't R&B, Hip-Hop. No disrespect intended to all songs from those genres. But I just like the idea of introducing the idea/reinforcing the idea with children/youth that there are other types of music than R&B and Hip-Hop. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 05 May 08 - 09:25 AM Azizi, this is basically what I'm asking for. Apple Hollow Music Fest invites your audition to perform at this years Festival located in the Chateauguay Valley in Ormstown Quebec on July 19th 2008. This is the first year that we are hosting a "Youth Stage" and we hope, if successful, it will become an annual event. The A.H.M.F. is a "Folk" oriented musical weekend that includes blues, folk, bluegrass, gospel, and celtic. At this time, rock, rap, hip hop and new country are not part of the venue. The judge's decision will be final whether to accept or reject acts. Instruments such as acoustic guitar, fiddle, piano (key board) flute, and harp are all welcome. Electric guitar, drums will be questioned and could be refused. Sound system will be provided. No tapes, c/d's, karaoke machines for singing or dancing will be permitted. A total of 20 minutes will be allotted to each performer. Stage will be located outside and in case of rain will be moved in doors. There will be a stage manager who will manage the youth stage. We ask that the performer arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the performance and report to the stage manager. This festival takes place at McMillan Orchards, 1639 Route 202, Franklin Centre J0S 1E0. Visit our web site at www.applehollowmusicfest.org Must be a student at one of the following schools: Arthur Pigeon (Huntingdon), Chateauguay Valley Regional High (Ormstown), Howard S. Billings (Chateauguay) and Ecole Polyualente Louis-Philippe-Pare (Chateauguay. Those who perform must realize that this is more for public experience and exposure than for money. Each performer will be given one free pass for a relative or friend. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 05 May 08 - 01:47 PM Oh! So the performers on the Youth Stage are youth themselves. That's great! |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 05 May 08 - 10:46 PM True, however things have changed a bit so now I looking more at the Elementary school level. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 06 May 08 - 03:11 AM Now, that would definitely be entertaining! |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: C. Ham Date: 06 May 08 - 10:42 PM Adrien, I was just having a look at the forum on Apple Hollow site and I think you might want to delete the latest thread there. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: C. Ham Date: 07 May 08 - 06:38 AM Make that the four latest threads on the Apple Hollow forum. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 07 May 08 - 07:56 AM Thanks. I haven't looked as yet but I know what you are refereeing to. The web master has been busy doing this but the spammers keep getting through. The only way he can really control it is if folks that want to participate to this form become members. Then you would have to have a pass word to get in. I told him not to go that way as yet and but first lets see if there is a large group that responds. If not we will probably drop the form as he has to clean it out almost every day. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 07 May 08 - 04:32 PM 'he has to clean it out every day'.... sounds like something you'd do in a stable..... well, that's cyber-country I reckon |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 08 May 08 - 03:08 PM Wow. 9 days after I mailed my passport renewal forms, I have the new one in hand... even WITH the picture I sent! |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 24 Jun 08 - 05:24 PM yeah, but some of the Canucks down on the farm might have expensive tastes and we know that you Americans are rich....... no ? |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 24 Jun 08 - 06:01 PM Me? Rich? HA, I say! Some Americans are rich, but now that the US dollar is worth 1.01171 CA dollars... oh wow, man! I AM rich! Our dollar is now worth more than yours! Of course, it's all relative. I'll be spending most of my fortune on fuel, not to mention the previously promised potable and tobacco. What would you like Ron? I'm at the limit for booze and butts. Maybe some maple syrup - that's a New England thing and something that people from other countries often enjoy. Just let me know what you'd like and I'll do my best. |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 24 Jun 08 - 09:46 PM I was just kidding around.... thanx for asking Jeri.... we have good refreshments and combustibles.... I eat syrup every day, being in maple country also.... just get yourself there safely, it'll be nice to meet you... that's gift enough for this lad... |
|
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: GUEST Date: 25 Jun 08 - 03:04 PM I don't think you need to bring maple syrup. More than 75% of the maple syrup in the world is produced in Quebec. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 26 Jun 08 - 08:30 AM It was supposed to be a joke. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 26 Jun 08 - 10:19 AM Oh, and Ron: awwwww! What a nice thing to say! I'm really looking forward to meeting folks and diving into the music for the weekend... and maybe some of the food. No... not 'maybe'. I dream of the music, the friends I'll be meeting, and... smoked meat. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 26 Jun 08 - 01:26 PM Jeri.

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 26 Jun 08 - 10:10 PM Jeri, it is good to hear that your all pumped up. Me , I'm a little tired. I've been working on this since last September. I have noticed that the same thing happened when I was working on the last festival I was involved with. I think it is called burn out. Well, not really. In a few days I'll be in full gear again. Just spent the last 3 nights in the bush with my 9 year old grand son doing a little rough camping and fishing, which we were luckey enough to catch and have for breakfast yesterday morning. I would send you all a picture but a little difficult in this thread. The Sugar Bush we slept in was just beautiful. And here is the best part. We were not bothered by black flies or mosquitoes. To repeat Ron's words, it will be a pleasure to meet you Jeri. And to have Bruce back home again will also be a treat. Now lets keep this thread going until it happens. Beer (adrien) |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: topical tom Date: 27 Jun 08 - 01:03 PM Welcome back, Adrien! I'm sure you'll recover and snap into action for the last preparations for the "Big Show". Glad you had such a good time with the grandson. Jeri, I hope I can meet you at the festival. Gnu, for Gawd's sake, stay out of those illegal op cornfields if you come! Both farmers and growers know how to use shotguns, I'm sure. Anyway, that would be a corny way to pass the time. |

If it's as hot in La Belle Prvoince as it is here in The Picture Province (New Brunswick fer ye ferrinners), make sure you have the necessities : #1 Sunscreen #2 Lot's of it. After that, Beer can advise if fly dope or anything else is a good idea. It's noon here in Moncton and it's 33C in the shade... about 44H (Humidex = "feels like"). |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 15 Jul 08 - 09:31 PM Had to make some quick adjustments Sunday. The Bridge End Dairy Co. had to cancel due to the main singer being sick. Replacement is Ian Gray who runs a coffee house called the Adair Coffee house. There is a web site for it. Great stage presence and wonderful voice. Stuart MacDougall who is the lead singer not capable of making it is very disappointed as he was also to be on the Song Writers' Circle. His replacement is a twosome from up state New York called "Crossing North". Both very good writers. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 16 Jul 08 - 06:16 PM Oh, I am sooo needing some good news..what with all the bad things that are happeningd on so many fronts, including the tragedies and losses that several Mudcatters have experienced recently, and that we, their cyberspace friends and acquaintances have experienced second or third hand with them even if it was just by our reading about what happened, and offering our prayers, and best wishes, and the small degree of tangible support we could muster. But life sure does take a toll, doesn't it? That's one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to reading some good news about the Apple Hollow Music Festival. I hope that all those who are attending that festival and who are performing at that festival remember those of us who aren't able to be there. I hope you guys and gals post lot of reports, and maybe even some links to photos. So "On with the show!"* "Full speed ahead!"* And "big ups!"* to Adrien, and Bruce, and Ron, and all others who are involved with the Apple Hollow Music Festival!! * Substitute whatever sayings you prefer that express your hope that everything flows together for the good and this festival turns out to be an artistic, social, and economic success! |

That's a surprise, especially since Garnet and Mike Reganstrief are friends from the Golem days and Garnet's played live on Mike's radio show quite a few times. Can't wait to buy that new CD from Bruce Murdoch. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 17 Jul 08 - 10:34 AM You just reminded me to make sure I have Garnet's CDs in the car for the trip. It's going to be fun meeting folks and hearing everyone's music. I'm familiar with Bruce and Garnet, and I've heard 4 strings and a Squeezebox on YouTube, but the rest will be a fresh experience. Soon, soon, SOON! |

It was quite wonderful, the weather was perfect and so were the performances. Bruce's set was outstanding and received with much enthusiasm, a standing ovation and requests for an encore. Met a bunch of new "Cats" including Jeri and KenM, terrific people but they're Mudcatters so I'm not surprised. Am still buzzing from the high of love and fellowship and music, a great evening all around. Will post some pics tomorrow. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 20 Jul 08 - 09:16 AM I want to alert people that I just started a new Mudcat thread about Bruce Murdoch's new CD "Matters of the Heart". Here's the hyperlink to that thread: thread.cfm?threadid=112880&messages=1 Please post your comments about Bruce's new CD on that thread. And if you've heard some of the songs on that CD from radio shows that Bruce has been on, or otherwise, and are waiting with great anticipation to hear the actual CD, but haven't heard it yet, you can spend some of the time waiting for your CD talking about Bruce Murdoch's music on that new thread. And last but not least, I announced on that thread and would like to announce on this thread that Bruce Murdoch has a new website at http://www.brucemurdoch.com/ That website was designed/developed by Mudcatter olddude {Dan O'Connell}, Dan volunteered his time, energy, and knowhow to make Bruce's website a reality. The website is still under construction, waiting for sound clips and other material from Bruce, but it's already looking good! Thanks, Dan!!! And thanks Bruce for your music. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 20 Jul 08 - 02:34 PM ....it's raining like crazy today... all the high humidity can defy gravity for only so long... we got lucky yesterday... hot, sunny and swampy... just a short afternote on the days festivites.... not long after our set, me and Lorraine checked into an inn about a mile from the site, ( courtesy of Adrien), left the guitar and returned to enjoy the full moon rising behind the stage and the remaining fine acts.. when we got back to the Inn... we just sat in the car to enjoy the deep silence of the countryside, unwinding.... when we finally went to enter around 1:00 we found that we were locked out... so we returned to the empty fest site with the intention of trying to sleep in the car and collect the guitar in the morning... a light was in in the small bldg. that had served as a bar and instrument 'lock-up'... a man and woman were talking and cleaning up.... we told them what had happened and asked if it would be allright to try and sleep in the car..... well, they wouldn't hear of it... she called down to the Inn and the door was unlocked.... turned out that some other guest had locked the door behind after getting there earlier.... the two people who were so kind happened to be the owners of the farm that hosted the Fest... Gary and Linda (McMillan) Upton.... it was a funny way of making their acquaintance.... and I'm so glad that I did. Down to earth farm folks that opened up their home and hearts to all of us.... they were really impressed by the quality of music and the organization.... there are a lot of little things that add up to make something great.... this was one of them... it was a BLAST !!!!... thanks Beer... |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: KenM Date: 21 Jul 08 - 02:01 AM The rain (and thunder and lightening) on Friday night made me feel like I was back home in southwest Florida but the vibe inside the barn at the jam session was an indicator that this was going to be a special weekend......and oh Lordy, what a great day Saturday turned out to be. What a great evening concert!! Are there any instruments that Jou Tou do not know how to play? And hey, if he's going to sing a song about Verdun and Pointe St. Charles....I'm all in! And what to say about that marvelous set by Bruce Murdoch? Oh my, I closed my eyes and listened and I was transported back to the late sixties in Montreal. And how about Ron Bankley's version of "A Fool Like Me" and their combined (and different) versions of "Last Man Standing")? Later, I sat with Bruce and Jeri and April, listening to Garnet Rogers and watching the moon rise over the festival site....Perfect!! Let's first of all give kudos to Adrien (Beer) who made this event happen. But he is not alone....Gary and Linda (MacMillan) Upton who hosted the event, my new friends Fred and Ruth Sundborg who taught me more about dairy farming in one weekend than I thought I could possibly know, Joe Byrd, and many, many, more. This afternoon, I drove from Adrien's to Pierre E. Trudeau Airport at Dorval with Bruce's new cd and later, drove from Miami to Ft. Myers with both that cd and "Crossing North". End of a perfect weekend! Cheers, Ken |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: C. Ham Date: 21 Jul 08 - 10:12 AM I had a wonderful time Saturday at Apple Hollow. Mostly, the music ranged from good to great. Highlights: Bruce Murdoch, Ron Bankley, the excellent songwriters' circle with Mike Regenstrief, Dara Weiss, Jou Tou, Four Strings And A Squeezebox, Crossing North, Storming Norman. Ron Bankley's version of "Fool Like Me," my all-time favorite Bruce Murdoch song, was awesome. Bruce's own performances were superb. Minor disappointment: Garnet Rogers. His voice was worn out and he seemed completely fatigued. He mentioned it was the last show of a 5 week tour. Maybe he should hold his tours down to 4 weeks. I've seen Garnet many times and his performance was far from his usual standard. Still, his songs are great and he was a trooper about doing the show. Chris Crilly's contributions on keyboard, fiddle and percussion were very good. One big disappontment: Coming out of Dara Weiss' in the Barn stage, I heard what sounded like a great gospel group coming from the main stage. When I got there, I saw what I thought was a karaoke show with the gospel singers performing with pre-recoded tracks. However, at the end of the last song, after the audience applause had ended, the pre-recorded cheers and applause continued throiugh the speakers with one of the singers trying to catch the eye of the soundman to tell him to turn it off. It took about 30 or 40 seconds for the soundman to do it. That led me to think it wasn't karaoke, but lip-synching. The gospel group would have been much better performing a cappella or with a single accompanist. When I go to hear LIVE music, I do not want to hear karaoke or lip-synching. In my opinion, there's no place for that at any live music event, let alone a folk festival. If this group really needs a big band to perform, then maybe a small folk festival is not the place for them. Anyway, it was a great day in apple country. Congratulations to Adrian and all others involved for a fine first festival. I'm looking forward to next year. The next folk festival on my agenda is Ottawa in mid-August. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 22 Jul 08 - 09:21 AM I just received a pm from Adrien {Beer} who asked me to convey this message from him and to convey a message from Bruce as well. Adrien asked that I let people know that he is still coming down from the festival and still has lots to do. He thanks you all for your well wishes & your support. Adrien has also spent some time after the festival with Bruce. Bruce doesn't have access to a computer now, but he's told Adrien that he will be writing on Mudcat shortly. Bruce also wants people to know that he very much appreciates the well wishes, and the compliments, that Mudcatters and other people on his website have expressed about his festival performance and about his Matters Of The Heart CD. Also, Bruce wants people to know that he's aware of that "Bruce has a Purple Face thread" although he hasn't read it yet. He thinks the idea of this thread is a hoot {or some words like that}. I look forward to Adrien's and Bruce's return to active posting on Mudcat threads. In particular, I can't wait to read what Bruce's comebacks will be to some of the posts on that Purple Face thread. :o) Here's a hyperlink to that thread in case people haven't had the pleasure of reading it yet: thread.cfm?threadid=112902&messages=54 Why does Bruce Have a Purple Face? |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 25 Jul 08 - 06:30 PM Thank you all for the congratulatory notes. They are very much appreciated. I still don't feel like writing much due to the fact that I have been struggling with a bad cold and a fever almost since the festival. I guess the running around and the coming down afterwords was just the right receipt for a floating virus. I have lots of pictures and will get to them very soon. We made lots of mistakes but none that can't be corrected. I asked the property owners to think about next year and give me an answer in two weeks if we are to continue. It is their land and they also went through a lot. I do feel positive however. Later, Adrien |

This old boy from Verdun, now relocated in southwest Florida, sure enjoyed my weekend at the Festival. My wife has commented that since my visit to the Great White North, I seem to have added "eh" to my speech. You didn't have anything to do with that, did you? eh? |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Peace Date: 27 Jul 08 - 01:29 PM I had a great time at the festival and it was wonderful to meet so many people either for the first time or again after a loooong time. Got to co-author a song with Jeri Corlew. She's fantastic to work with. We were able to get two days in the studio and we finished two songs for Youtube. What a process. Guitar track, then my voice track then April's voice then Jeri's voice. Then twice through lipsynching/filming then three hours editing. However, I guess if it was easy then everybody'd be doing it. Simon Jodoin is a remarkable engineer and Ron Bankley gave us some ground rules going in. That man is an incredible musician, writer and singer. Wonderful to work with on or off the stage. I think we'll release one of the Youtube songs in a few weeks and the other in about six to seven weeks. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: KenM Date: 27 Jul 08 - 03:14 PM Jeri......Linda and Gary Upton are their names and two finer people you will never meet....just ask Ron Bankley, who managed to get back into his B & B with their help on Saturday night. All of the folks who live down in Adrien's neck of the woods are pretty special...Fred and Ruth Sundborg, who I stayed with, are dairy farmers, and are just flat out, extraordinary people. Bill and Bernice Paxton, who kept the libations flowing are pretty cool as well. Speaking of Adrien's family, I have a picture of Bruce with two members of his family taken at Adrien's house on Sunday morning. I'm holding on to it for ransom for a seat when he collects his Juno....or Grammy....or both! Cheers, Ken |
