Warm Greetings Family, Friends and Fans,

It is my delight to invite you to come celebrate the release of a new CD,"NOTES FROM ACROSS THE SEA"! This gorgeous instrumental music
is written by my wonderful mom, Ann Mayo Muir. We were so excited by her musical pieces that we decided to hire the Grammy nominated group, ENSEMBLE GALILEI (an Early Music/Celtic/Classical Crossover Group) to arrange and perform the music both for the CD and Release Concert.

I just got my copy from Timberhead and I love it. Your Lament for Andrea is so hauntingly beautiful I'm not able to describe it better than that.

In 1965, I was in the Navy, and had just bought a hi-fidelity reel-to-reel tape recorder at Navy Exchange price. I scrounged around the ship for LP's to borrow and tape. Someone had an album titled "The Magic of Mayo Muir", which I promptly fell in love with. I didn't hear anything else about her for almost 20 years. I finally learned about Bok, Trickett, and Muir about the time of their farewell tour, which I didn't get to catch. The lady remains on my short list of wonderful female singers.

Anne,
Hello! I'm so glad to hear about this. Congratulations. I have missed hearing you since the trio stopped making records. But this will be at the top of my wish list.

All the best to you!!

Hi, Ann. I am delighted to see your post here. Your new album will be a favorite once it joins "Windward Away" from Archie- the only cd remaining. I look forward to seeing you and Christina, though I see no way to join you at the party.

Love and warm hugs from a friend in Midcoast Maine,

maeve

1. If He's Gone 2:05
2. Patchwork Of Dreams 2:55
3. A Wedding Toast 2:33
4. My Love Doesn't Love Me 3:10
5. Parting Glass 2:45
6. Redbird 1:47
7. Magic Penny 2:32

It's on Spotify, by the way. The sound quality isn't as good as one might like, but it's interesting to hear how Ann sounded Way Back When.

Folk Legacy- "So Goes My Heart"- Ann Mayo Muir

I love you guys for caring and sharing information about my CD which is all instrumental music written by ear. I had been playing fiddle at Alasdair Fraser's Scottish Fiddle Camp for 10 years and I was in love with all the music. Each time I wrote, using Sibelius, my heart was thinking Scottish thoughts but the music simply followed my mood and surprised me every time. If it is on CD today, it is thanks to my daughter asking me to try and think BIG . Well, she did so I tried and said "Ok". The Studio was Bias. The engineer is the one who records for Mary Chapin Carpenter. Hearing this music come to life was one of life's high peak.
The early record You spoke about asking for history, began when I was invited to record with the Highwaymen in 1962, the year Michael Row The Boat Ashore was released. On the radio there will be a special Folk show to celebrate their 50th year, hosted by Nick Noble.
"Fifty years ago, during the first weeks of September, 1961, "Michael Row the Boat Ashore" by the original Highwaymen topped the charts as the #1 song not only in the U.S. but in much of the world as well. So on September 8, 2011 THE FOLK REVIVAL will celebrate that anniversary with a four-hour tribute to that seminal folk group. With 30 or 40 songs, interviews with the surviving members of the group, and excerpts from the book "NUMBER #1", it should be a terrific experience."
Thursday, September 8 · 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Location        
streaming live online at wicn.org * in central MA at 90.5 FM.

I Quoted this from Nick's Facebook page.

After I finished a week in NY City recording. Their manager asked me to make a solo album. I had met the limeliters the year before and Lou Gottlieb, Bass player and very funny man, had told me to call him when the time came when I made a record. He said it would be soon and he wanted to produce it. So I called and spent another week pretending that I knew what I was doing. It was fun and I was singing my heart out. Lou said he wished I could be more asleep...man, I was wired and fired up. My favorite track was Malvina's "Count Ten". She came t the studio to hear her three songs recorded and we became good friends. Gordon Bok had written a great song called Red Bird which I sang. They did not credit Gordon because Leadbelly had a song by the same name. That's life in the business world.
Forgive me for taking up so much time and being long winded. I have never written and of this out before.

If you can stand it. I nearly forgot that the Highwaymen asked me to sing at the Bitter End in the village so the other members could hear me. I said I would and went there and met Bill Cosby who said that he would introduce me and I could make myself comfortable in the Green Room. I was there 3 hours and I heard him close the show. He was so sorry when he found me waiting. He put me in a cab and waved me off.
It turns out we were born 12 days apart.

That's all , I hope it was of interest to some of you. I send my thanks and warmest Regards to you all,
Annie

I see only two spelling mistakes...I spelled any as and and I spelled high peaks without the s. Not bad for a dyslexic.
Bye for now.

Annie- What a treat to open your thread again and see your wonderful long post! I'm delighted to learn that bit of your music history.

I went to hear Gordon and Carol last night in Woolwich; lots of new music along with some old favorites undergoing a sea change of years. I was glad I could tell one of your admirers there that, not only are you still making music, you have the new album of your very own, "Notes from Across the Sea" that she can purchase.
