Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Ebbie Date: 21 Jun 10 - 02:16 AM Well, now, that was fun. I sat here and listened to every Amos song Dan posted. Good stuff. I know most of the songs but there are several unfamiliar ones that are haunting. 'Kind of Love', for instance- I could look it up, no doubt, but it's more fun to ask: Where does that song come from? In certain settings and after a glass or two that one would be a first rate tear jerker. No regrets but some things you never forget... Amos, I listened to it only once so on second listen I might change my mind but I thought 'The Rose' had a bit of a shaky start. But when you got into it, it was superb. I really like your interpretation. |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Amos Date: 21 Jun 10 - 10:35 AM "Kind of Love" is by Christine Lavin. It is a pow'ful piece of work. "Running Waters" is mine. I should post the credits to all those songs. A |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Amos Date: 21 Jun 10 - 11:24 AM Little Hawk has never kicked ass, or he would understand the exquisite appropriateness of that particular metonymy. "Reading Shakespeare", "counting heads", "turning loose a bunch of suits", "London reports panic..." are all examples of the same poetic license. A |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: GUEST,kendall Date: 21 Jun 10 - 01:00 PM LH, your presence is requested at the Getaway. Is that better? |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: kendall Date: 21 Jun 10 - 01:03 PM That's how officers are called to be somewhere in a ship. The Captain is never "piped" that way, a messenger is always sent to speak to him directly. |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Bobert Date: 21 Jun 10 - 01:36 PM And bring the monkey with ya', too, LH... Ya' hear??? |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: olddude Date: 22 Jun 10 - 11:05 AM Amos "running waters" that you wrote is a fine song my friend I love it Dan |

Subject: RE: Amos's new CD From: Genie Date: 22 Jun 10 - 04:57 PM Bobert, a vasectomy ain't no piece of cake (though it is a slice of something). Ain't it nice to know how ya made all them nurses 'preciate what they got waitin' fer 'em at home, though? ... An' if the butt bone's connected to the finger bones, is that how some people keep pulling songs out'n they arses? But Hawk is right. I mean I could say my arthritis is a pain in the ass, but it's mostly in my fingers. -- OldDude, I've never known Amos to hide under the radar, but it's really great to get that talent on a real live CD! These recordings are wonderful, Amos. They display your excellent voice and geetar skills very well, and I really appreciate the variety of songs you chose for the CD. Do send me a copy. (I'll PM you the address.) And I'll either send a check to the Mudcat Home For the Blues Impaired (or one of the other 'Cat charities) or make the payment via plastic if that's allowed. Good show, bro! |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Amos Date: 22 Jun 10 - 05:07 PM Genie: I am not sure what the Mudcat channels are for support contriubutions. I believe they take PayPal and Joe might be able to provide other details. I have a copy ready for you! Thank you all for the kind and heart-warming remarks. A |
|
Subject: RE: "Amos Mudcat's" new CD From: Genie Date: 22 Jun 10 - 05:56 PM Thanks, Amos. I hope you'll send the lyrics & chords to some of those songs to the Balboa Park Jam crowd too so we can jam with you on them too. I'll send a check to Dick or Max, since I don't do PayPal. Genie |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Charley Noble Date: 22 Jun 10 - 07:46 PM When I hear Amos play and sing I'm reminded of Cisco Houston. That's good company. But it's time Amos got off his lazy duff and made another recording. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Bobert Date: 22 Jun 10 - 07:58 PM I agree, Charlie... Seems that ever since they set up pot stores on every corner in Amos's neighborhood that the boy, ahhhhh, how do you put this??? Okay, he'd rather just "ay around the shanty and put a good buzz on"... I mean, I can't blame him... Heck, if they had pot stores here in Virginia I might do the same but... ...alas... But seriously, Amos... Get back to doin' a little recordin'... Heck, I even plan of puttin' in some studio time this comin' winter so if I can do it, so can you... Ya hear??? B~ |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: olddude Date: 22 Jun 10 - 08:46 PM And I told ya your CD is great look at the response ya got bro... geeze nobody ever believes me . And they are right, now record more please :-) DAn |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Genie Date: 22 Jun 10 - 09:38 PM Don't forget, you can also hear some "Amos Mudcat" songs on the Mudcat CD Samplers that one of our dedicated members (whos initials are A J) so tirelessly worked to put together. I know there are at least 2 of his original songs on those CDs. Genie |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Amos Date: 22 Jun 10 - 10:55 PM Flood Dick!!! ;>) A |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Bobert Date: 22 Jun 10 - 11:00 PM Flood Dick??? Must not have been in school that day... Amos, ol' buddy... One of us is gonna have to pee in this little plastic cup... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Amos Date: 22 Jun 10 - 11:57 PM Bobert: Back when I released the Mudcat CDs I put little messages all over the Cat telling people to Flood Dick Greenhaus with orders for the Mudcat CDs, see. The slogan of the campaign was "FLOOD DICK!" I thought it was clever, anyway... Now I am not so sure. A |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Bobert Date: 23 Jun 10 - 07:47 AM Like I said, Amos... Here's the cup... We're gonna need a sample, por favor... |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Amos Date: 23 Jun 10 - 10:14 AM No pee for you, pal. You got too much piss and vinegar in ya already. And I suspect from your response you never ordered the Mudcat CDs, ja?? Ve haff vays off knowink dese tings, ja? A |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Bobert Date: 23 Jun 10 - 06:17 PM Nah, I ordered it... I remember sending in a song fir it... I think it got put on there... I had allready kinda left cutsie folk music in the past but didn't want to send in anything that I was currently doin' at the time for fear of being put out of Mudville...lol... So I picked a smalzty folk song I wrote a long and recorded a long, long time ago thinkin' that that would be more appropriate... Should have sent some Mississippi style blues... Next time... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Bill D Date: 23 Jun 10 - 06:23 PM Maybe it is time for a 'next time'. We have more members and there are some who never got on the first time. Just musing... |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Genie Date: 23 Jun 10 - 06:48 PM I think the technology's advanced enough by now that putting together more Mudcat CD samplers would be a good deal easier than when you did the first batch, Amos. (E.g., not too many people would be sending you tapes.) I"m not 'volunteering' you for the principal engineer & promoter though. : D |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: GUEST,kendall Date: 23 Jun 10 - 07:31 PM Amos, you will be bringing some CDs to the Getaway? |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Amos Date: 23 Jun 10 - 07:59 PM I'll be happy to, Skipper, but if it's for you yer asking, I'll drop it in the mail tomorrow. A |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: GUEST,Deda Date: 24 Jun 10 - 05:01 PM I'm hardly ever on the 'cat anymore but couldn't resist this thread. As his younger sister, I am Amos' first and original fan, and I hope that I have all his CDs although I don't think I have the one "for Dan" because I don't think I have "Buffalo Skinners." Amos & I had a grandfather who was a folksinger & and engineer, and I'm proud to say that my own son is also a folksinger -- seems to be at least partly genetic. One family myth has it that among Amos' very first words were "Jimmy Crack Corn." Anyway, within our family, the arrival of Amos means the party has started. It always has. He has a lot of other great qualities, too. Love you tons, bro -- Deda |

Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Bobert Date: 24 Jun 10 - 05:05 PM Well, Deda... Seein' as yer Amos's sis then maybe you can get him to stop buy one of the drive thru pot stores on the way to the airport and get his ol' hillbilly buddy a bag of good California growed weed??? Whaddayathink??? No??? Come on, sis... Don't be like that... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Genie Date: 25 Jun 10 - 01:48 AM Deda, "Jimmy crack corn" may well have been among Amos's first words, but I suspect the very first ones were something like "ba ba ba bop, doo-de-wah-dee-wah-dee wah, sha na na nah!" Oh, and really nice to "see" you again here at the 'cat! |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Deda Date: 02 Jul 10 - 10:22 PM Many thanks, Genie -- Our mother used to say that every baby's firs word was "eglise" -- French for church. If you say it a few times in a row it does sound like babytalk. Where is the old reprobate, anyway? Is the Getaway under way? (or is that under weigh?) Deda |
|
Subject: RE: Amos, Amos, Amos From: Amos Date: 03 Jul 10 - 12:04 AM I love you too, Deda! Nice to see you coming around these parts!! Needles to say this whole thread was sprung on me outta the blue and just completely obfuscated my perennial modesty... |
