This is for real. Now I know you folks know who the first two are so I will let you serf the net in case you haven't heard of Tom Ghent. Please check out his "My Space" site. All happening on September the 4th. at our coffee house located in Quebec Canada. So in case you are wondering what to do with your spare time, come on over and spend it with friends. Amos, Spaw, Bobert, Raptor and all you other wild coyotes get off your horses and rent a car and come on up. I promise you won't have to sleep in an igloo. In fact I would find a spot for you all.
Adrien

p.s. I'm also starting this thread early in case there is someone who is wondering what to do with their time and looking for a place to go to.

Forgot to mention that there will be two shows. The afternoon one at 2. This will be story telling by the three rebels along with a few songs. The evening performance will be mostly songs.

Tom has a gig in Boston on Aug. 28th. He told me where but I forget. I'll find out and let y'all know in case anyone's near Beantown..
I had the crazy notion that since he's going that far north from TN he might as well keep going to Canada and hook up with us. He hasn't seen Bruce since the Village days.. so that'll give you a clue about how old they really are ! Anyhow I`ve had the good fortune of recently hanging out with both of them, but not at the same time... so we`re all looking forward to this beaucoo.

Thanks Adrien and Danny for helping make this happen....
really nice poster btw

Busy day. Played music all afternoon. Lots of fun.
Gnu, Bruce can come in free as long as he is not caught coming in the back door. Dan, I agree, three greats. Should be a wonderful afternoon followed by an evening of songs. Maybe some other time Dan. I should have mentioned when I posted that Ron is the one that made this show possible. So thanks Bud.

Say Hi to Tom for me, haven't seen him in almost 40 years. Also, my warmest regards to Mr. Murdoch. He and Ghent were my first mentors in the Village 43 years ago.

Mark,
Would like to connect you to Bruce and Tom but you came on as a guest and I can't (or won't)publicly put his e-mail on this open form or my e-mail as well. How about signing up (even temporally if you wish)then I can send you a personal message? I just Googled your name but got lost so gave up. Bobad help. Your good at this. Mark, I will definitely pass your message on. Thanks for the feedback Amos. I don't know about the Hugs though. These rebels can get....oh! never mind.

I agree Bobad. The only solution I know is to Right Click and save the picture. They you can open it up in the file you put it in and blow it up. I guess "Blow it up" is not exactly the correct thing to say.

Beer ,I like 'blow it up'.. that could be the name of Bruce's next CD, but no connection to my inflatable sheep

great work guys

Just going by Bruce's "Matters of the Heart", and Ron's "Insurgent Sun", I would have been more apt to expect "Blow It Up" as a disc from Ron; but maybe Bruce is going for a change of pace with the next one. Whichever way he goes, I'll be looking forward to it.

Inflatable sheep, huh; I assume that's for the beach and swimming pool, of course.

but of course....whatever else, except in Scotland

for anyone in the Boston area, Tom will be playing at Sally O'Brien's Pub on Aug 28 with a bass player friend. He'll have a new CD. Actually a compilation of work mostly from the 60's

I've heard Tom's version of 'Sunday Morning'... bare bones, voice and guitar and it sure brings that song full circle. Often, we hear a great song so many times over the years, different versions, that we tend to forget how powerful the work really is... Tom's take reminds me of the first time I heard the song on the radio by Johnny Cash in the wee hours
One of those special moments.... 'Wishin' Lord that I was stoned"

it's going to be a good time all around....

That song is a great song, but the feeling of it doesn't come across with an orchestral arrangement or even a band. It's a song about feeling ragged and lonely, and that works best with one singer and the words, with a minimum of accompaniment. In my opinion.

Isn't that The song that got Cash interested in Kristofferson?

I expect the gig will be one to remember.

I gather the 2PM show will involve talking and reminiscing, and the 8PM show will be mostly music, so both are not the same.

Subject: RE: Ron Bankley, Bruce Murdoch and Tom Ghent
From: GUEST,bankley
Date: 21 Aug 10 - 11:54 AM

you're right Jeri, the 2 shows won't be the same... there'll be more story telling at the earlier one, interspersed with a few songs...
at night there'll be more songs interspersed with a few stories and jokes...

we didn't want to make it too complicated, besides Bruce might be tired from the long commute to the Cafe...

and don't forget those 2 old boys haven't seen each other in about 40 yrs... and that's a lot of bridge under the water ! I'm just glad to be part of it..
