Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: GUEST,Guest - Lin Date: 09 Apr 11 - 02:46 AM I know that Richard Meyer was involved with the Fast Folk scene in NY and he had several albums out, mostly in the 1980's or early 1990's. He was a very good songwriter. Haven't heard anything about him for many years though and don't know if he is still involved with the folk music scene or not. I had a few of his albums that were initially on vinyl and then released on CD's. Someone several years ago thought that he might have gotten more into rock music but not sure if that is true. |

Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: Mark Ross Date: 16 Feb 09 - 10:40 PM OldDude, I used to know a Mary Smith in Greenwich Village in the '70's, good singer. We used to play a bluegrass jam at an Italian restaurant on Bleecker St. called Arturo's(?).Mary was tending bar but would join me for some tunes like QUEEN OF THE SILVER DOLLAR and I REMEMBER LOVING YOU. She had a sweet voice. I've wondered whether she's still back there. Mark Ross |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: Jeri Date: 16 Feb 09 - 05:06 PM I used to see him at open mics at the Press Room in NH in the 80's sometimes, I bought a tape from him, mainly because of a song about Vietnam. I know I still have the tape, but not where it is, and I don't know if Doug's still around here or not. |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: GUEST,Komatik Date: 16 Feb 09 - 04:47 PM Does anyone know of a singer called Doug Lewis- wrote a song called "Rebecca" or "Dancing with Rebecca" and a other called "Something Good"? I was given a tape of these years ago - great stuff - but was never able to trace anything else that he did. |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: meself Date: 16 Feb 09 - 04:39 PM well ... I wouldn't have if he hadn't been wearing a name-tag! A fine pianist. I found out sometime after meeting him that he was an accompanist for Jean Carignan. Glad to see he's still making the rounds! (Thanks, Adrien). |

Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: meself Date: 13 Feb 09 - 11:51 AM Saw Chris Rawlings play with Gilles Lossier (and Andy Vine?) at Ginger's in Halifax - afterward, upstairs in his room, Chris showed me the chords for The Blackfly Song (Wade Hemsworth). He probably wrote out the lyrics for me as well. Nice guy! He had a great song called, "Soup du Jour", which I believe was the title of his (vinyl) album. Speaking of Andy Vine - he picked me up hitch-hiking once in Nova Scotia. I had my guitar, which was small enough, and the front of the van big enough, that I could play him songs all the way to Montreal. I think he really enjoyed that for about the first fifteen minutes ... |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: rich-joy Date: 13 Feb 09 - 08:09 AM re June 26 and 27 posts : Martin Hadden did a couple of British-American folkfusion LPs as "Hadden, Rothsfield & Carr" - he had a beautiful singing voice in the way of Rod Patterson (of Jock Tamson's Bairns/Easy Club) or Archie Fisher, for example. We really should've heard more of it!!! Regal Slip - Graham & Eileen Pratt returned to recording some time ago and Ron Taylor, who also has a beautiful singing voice, made a CD with Jeff Gillett on Wildgoose label, still available. Cheers, R-J |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: C. Ham Date: 12 Feb 09 - 03:38 PM Sometime back in the 70s at the Golem in Montreal I saw Chris Rawlings perform his musical setting of Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." I think it took about a full hour, without a pause, to perform. Amazing. |

Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: lefthanded guitar Date: 12 Feb 09 - 11:31 AM A very (VERY) belated thank you to those who let me know the name Chris Rawlings. I will start an internet search to see if he's still playing- a vastly underrated songwriter. |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: pdalessa Date: 11 Feb 09 - 04:56 PM Is Karla Bonoff still singing - I saw her at the Old Town School of Folk Music (Chicago) in the 70s? |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: olddude Date: 11 Feb 09 - 04:54 PM Does anyone know of a girl on the coffee house circuit in the 70's named Mary Smith ... she was from Flint Michigan My goodness what she great ... amazing singer, song writer and guitarist. She was amazing, I haven't heard of her since |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: bankley Date: 11 Feb 09 - 04:36 PM there were several Francophone singers and a few Anglo singers working in French who got their start in that decade in Quebec.. Most of them all did well with their careers and moved into other related activities... some who I remember, most I knew Richard and Marie Claire Seguin Paul Piche Harmonium (the early years with Fiori, Normandeau and Valois) Jim and Bertrand (Jim Corcoran has a weekly show on CBC Radio One playing different Quebecois artists to an Anglo audience) Plume Latraverse ( a mouton noir ) Stephen 'Cassonade' Faulkner (un cowboy a Paris) Michel Rivard (some of his solo work outside Beau Dommage as well as Pierre Bertrand) Jeff Lamott Les Soeurs McGarrigles I'm sure that I've missed some.... but there was a lot of music and new artists emerging hot on the heels of the 60's.. which gave us Vigneault, Leclerc, Charlebois, Julien, Butler, Jean Carignan and it keeps going way back....to La Bolduc and beyond to les rigadons, gigues, chanson repondres et plaintes..... a lot of culture and history |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 11 Feb 09 - 04:23 PM Houston, etc.: Jim Croce's widow, Ingrid, has run a jazz and dinner club called "Croce's" in San Diego's Gaslamp District for many years. Their son, A.J., has his own band and has played nationally for some time. He counts his dad among his influences, along with Mose Allison, among others. They had moved here not long before Jim died in the aircraft accident and had planned to put down roots. We're all glad she stayed. |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: GUEST,Mark Craft Date: 11 Feb 09 - 12:48 AM Regarding the following message "Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: GUEST Date: 16 Jun 08 - 03:12 PM In the early 70s around Toronto, there were a couple of American guys, Stu Mitchell and Jerome Smith, who were buskers and club-players. They were great interpreters and songwriters. Wherever the are, I wish them well." -end previous message- I just digitalized a tape I made of a live recording by Mitchell and Smith (in about 1973). It would be great to get in touch with them, if anyone know how. Also, if you liked their music I'd be glad to share a couple of MP3 with you. mcraft@planetorganic.ca |

Still working as far as I know...although my favourite Wrigley moment is as the harrassed Geography teacher in Rita, Sue and Bob Too. I eem to recall agorilla suit and Coronation Street, but that might be my personal abyss. While we're on the subject...Frogmorton? Baz |
Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: Big Al Whittle Date: 26 Jun 08 - 06:53 AM Nick Fenwick's band , I think, were Mad Jocks and englishmen. Nick was a very funny man. Rather quiet and circumspect offstage, as I remember. My favourite from that period was Brownsville Banned. The greatest live act.....There was a sort of Bolton mafia - bob Williamson, Bernard the Knocking Nelly bloke whose name has slipped into my personal abyss, and brownsville. they were photographed together on Bob's first album. Bob's album was of course on the Sweet Folk and country label run by Joe Stead. their label mates were Downes and Beer and Dave Turner. Dave was more alternative than anybody I ever met. Nina of Hand on Heart had a decent band at the time called Blackthorn. I saw Brownsville at Nina's club a few times. there were a lot of great acts: Roger Brooks, The Maccalmans, Ian Campbell's final group with Aiden Foord, etc so it goes, as Kurt Vonnegut said! |

Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: Acorn4 Date: 24 Jun 08 - 06:10 PM Here's a blast from the past:- BOB LIND -what became of him? He was the one who recorded "Elusive Butterfly" - his debut album was, I seem to remember, very good and showed a lot of potential but he seemed to vanish withour trace. Rather like a more cheerful Leonard Cohen. Perhaps he never recovered from having "Butterfly" covered by Val Doonican! Interesting if anyone had any info on him. |

Subject: RE: Almost forgotten 70s Folk Artists From: Bill H //\\ Date: 19 Jun 08 - 06:51 PM Carla Sciaky---what a delight to see that name again. Years back she was a guest on the program with me (TRADITIONS) and I just loved her lilting voice. My understanding was that she still performes locally as a solo artists and also with a group. Her label was called Propinquity--and from that we did a little trivia contest on the program---what does it mean? Had only about 2 or 3 correct answers, as I recal.l Bill Hahn |
