Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 01 Jun 09 - 06:09 PM I'd comment on this, but it might come out that I recently sang "Dead Flowers" at an old time jam, and I'd be finished if that ever became public knowledge. Charles |

Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Rafflesbear Date: 01 Jun 09 - 05:22 PM I thought the folk police were only interested in singers going too fast |
Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Mick Woods Date: 01 Jun 09 - 05:01 PM I witnessed the accused singing "Who Am I", a Country Joe McDonald (USA) song in the Kentish Horse on the evening of Saturday 30th May 2009 and the following day enthusing about how good a certain "Rock" band, playing in the festival Marquee were! |

Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Richard Bridge Date: 01 Jun 09 - 04:23 PM A spokesperson for the Folk Police said tonight "We also heard he was considering playing songs brought to public attention or written by the Rolling Stones, Bad Company, the Spencer Davis Group, and Jefferson Airplane, in which case we would have pressed for the maximum penalties. The public need to be protected against enjoying themselves. It inevitably leads to hard drugs and the breakdown of society." |
Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Crow Sister (off with the fairies) Date: 01 Jun 09 - 04:19 PM Ewww... and there was be about to come out about being an Englishwoman singing The Great Silkie out in public! Of course it's never actually really happened, so I've got nothing to feel anxious about... |
Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Rifleman (inactive) Date: 01 Jun 09 - 04:17 PM a John Le Carre novel is far more interesting |
Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Les in Chorlton Date: 01 Jun 09 - 04:15 PM This could be a re-run of a trick used in a John Le Carre novel in which a spy appears to go public. Lots of others then pop out of the woodwork thinking it's safe. So those above who have come out for Richard should watch out. The Folk Police will be feeling collars and checking song lists.

Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: VirginiaTam Date: 01 Jun 09 - 03:50 PM Ha ha ha! Wesley fell into the trap. Oh? This thread is not just another "1954 definition of folk" thread, cleverly disguised is it? RB- say it isn't so. Say you are introducing Outlaw folk. In the way Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and others made Outlaw country. |
Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Wesley S Date: 01 Jun 09 - 03:36 PM Richard - All of this could be cleared up if you could just let everyone know - "What is a folk song"? |

Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Will Fly Date: 01 Jun 09 - 03:18 PM I thought the original Bridge had been dismantled and re-assembled in Arizona as a tourist attraction. |

Subject: RE: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: VirginiaTam Date: 01 Jun 09 - 03:15 PM Have you seen this man? Richard Bridge gushed and admitted to gushing on the Blatant Publicity for Pig's Ear thread. You heard it here. Go read it if you don't believe. Maybe this is a clone Bridge. Maybe the real Bridge was abducted by aliens. |

Subject: Arrest warrant issued for Richard Bridge From: Richard Bridge Date: 01 Jun 09 - 03:00 PM The Folk Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Richard Bridge, who, while proceeding in a variable direction in Markbeech, Kent, England, is alleged to have sung a Bob Dylan Song and a Who song; also using the riff from "Route 66" as a sound-check - AT A FOLK ALE - as well as having used rhythms so as to cause the spontaneous outbreak of dancing on "Famous Flower of Serving Men", and "Ramble Away"; and "rocking" (whatever that is) "Gentlemen of High Renown". Further charges include speaking favourably of an Eric Kaz (contemporary American) song, failing properly to attribute "Coalhouse Door" and barracking well known comedy singers. Allegations that he spoke of "Watercress-Oh" (Roger Watson) as a folk song were dismissed. |
