To this necrology I would add Paul Clayton (d. 1967), and Hoyt Axton (d. 1999). |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: GUEST,Liane Date: 29 Oct 10 - 10:11 AM D'oh! Sorry, everyone, I've added to the repetitiveness of this thread by overlooking the mentions of Doc and Merle Watson, Paul Clayton, and Hoyt Axton in my first read-through. |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: MGM·Lion Date: 29 Oct 10 - 10:55 PM V distressed to discover from another, just refreshed, thread that an old acquaintance, Adrienne Johnston, has been dead for nearly 30 years, possibly as a consequence of domestic violence. I didn't know her well, only distantly as a critic gets to know a performer generally; but I am oddly sad to find that someone I knew at all has been dead for all this time without my knowing. It is an odd, upsetting feeling, as I am sure will be understood. ~Michael~ |

|
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: MGM·Lion Date: 31 Oct 10 - 02:21 AM Yes, there have been refs to Peter Bellamy, some using some of his parody anagrammatic nicknames. I mentioned him among others in a post of 17 Oct, for example. ~Michael~ |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: BrooklynJay Date: 31 Oct 10 - 11:22 AM Again I will repeat: Ronnie Gilbert is alive. You have a question mark next to Odetta's name; sad to say, she is no longer with us. The proper spelling is Lee Hays, not Hayes. |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Tattie Bogle Date: 31 Oct 10 - 08:15 PM A question mark against the Clancy brothers: sadly they are all gone now, Liam being the last to survive.

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: MGM·Lion Date: 01 Nov 10 - 05:29 AM Above long list includes all mentioned, incl those that were erroneous as several posts since have pointed out. Let's add that Doc Watson is still going at age 87. ~Michael~ |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Andy Jackson Date: 01 Nov 10 - 05:51 AM As several have pointed out, there were known errors in my list above, but its main purpose was as a quick check before posting a new name. This it does. If anyone wants their turn just download my list into a spreadsheet and sort. |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: GUEST,Alan Whittle Date: 01 Nov 10 - 05:57 AM My wife died on operating theatre table for two minutes. Then they revived her. You could start another thread or two. Folksingers who died permanently. Folksingers who died temporarily. Folksingers who sing choruses that nobody joins in, and usually die on their arse. This is a thread, whose title only tells part of the story. |
|
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: BrooklynJay Date: 01 Nov 10 - 06:29 AM And several names on the list were bogus or jokes. Old Man Mose and Poor Howard, for example (song lyrics). And names like Hugh Jarse, or Mike Hunt...well, I think you can figure it out. |
|
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Genie Date: 01 Nov 10 - 10:41 PM Miskin Man, Thanks for doing the alphabetized list. But I don't see Kate Wolf's name on it, or Stan Rogers's either. I'd also add Jill Jackson Miller, who co-wrote "Let There Be Peace On Earth" with Sy Miller, whom she later married. Not sure if they're considered "folk," but I guess it depends on how broadly you define "folk." I would also add Miriam Makeba to the list. |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Genie Date: 03 Nov 10 - 01:09 AM Here's (I think) a complete list of the actual dead folk singers (folk musicians) that have been mentioned so far. (Gotta do something while I watch the election returns come in, so I can kind of tune out the talking heads for the most part.) This is in alphabetical order by last name. Trying not to list anyone who would be over 100 years old had they not died.

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: BrooklynJay Date: 03 Nov 10 - 02:14 AM I was always under the impression that Old Man Mose was a name from a song title. (I remember that Louis Armstrong, Betty Hutton, and Manhattan Transfer - among others - recorded it.) And somehow, both Big Lists managed to omit Woody Guthrie! (Though he was mentioned in an earlier post in this thread.) |
|
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Genie Date: 03 Nov 10 - 02:31 AM I was going to include Woody and even Hank Williams (yes, he's thought of as "country," but an awful lot of folk singers do his songs all the time). Woody would've been almost 99 if he were alive, though, but Hank would be just 87, so maybe I should have included him. |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: MGM·Lion Date: 03 Nov 10 - 02:05 PM Ralph Rinzler, who only lived to 60, does not figure on either of the comprehensive lists or their addenda. So let's hear it for him also. ~Michael~ |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: GUEST,Booklynrose Date: 03 Nov 10 - 03:26 PM I started reading this thread because I'm still reeling from 2009 when we lost a LOT of folk singers. Already mentioned were Sandy Paton, Mike Seeger & Mary Travers who all died last year. I did not see the names of Bess Lomax Hawes, Richie Schulberg, Mary LaMarca, Susan Contento (in NYC)who died last year. I'm also going to drift from the thread's focus to share my pleasure that three singers who seemed desperately ill in December 2009 are still with us, Jean Ritchie, Jerry Epstein, & Ray Fisher. |
|
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: GUEST,Roger C. Date: 05 Nov 10 - 11:55 AM Add Graham Cooper who we lost this year. "Big" Pete Roger, Brian Osbourne and Stuart Robinson, all of the Taverners folk group (Lancashire.) |
