Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: it'smagic Date: 12 Jul 12 - 03:02 PM I don't see Barney McKenna anywhere on the list. But, enough, this is too depressing! It seems like more are dead than alive. Unless we want to pick one a day to remember and honor. The Happy Birthday thread is a good place. |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Waddon Pete Date: 13 Jul 12 - 05:42 AM Mudcat has its own "In Memoriam" thread which exists to celebrate those who have passed on since Mudcat was created. It contains many of the above names as well as some who have not been mentioned here. It is always worth a visit as it has links to click to learn more. Best wishes, Peter http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=142251 (My computer resolutely refuses to do blue clicks!) [....but Joe Offer can do them in his sleep.] |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Elmore Date: 13 Jul 12 - 10:57 AM Thanks, Pete |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: GUEST,Al B Date: 13 Jul 12 - 02:57 PM No mention of Bert Jansch? What a loss that was! |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Waddon Pete Date: 13 Jul 12 - 04:47 PM He's there on the 'In Memoriam' Thread......dip in and have a look. Best wishes, Peter |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: GUEST,Natalie J Date: 13 Jul 12 - 09:29 PM It has been fascinating reading this thread. Some thought it was a farce and didn't take it seriously. Those of us who were folkies before the folk music revival happened regard names of the deceased with tremendous interest. After all, they were folks we listened to and some of them in person, and we loved traditional folk music heart and soul. It was our very life. I said once that I would never read the newspaper obituaries (sounded so morbid), but I now do that quite regularly. If I see someone I know (knew), I read the entire obit. The rest of you may realize this when you are old and gray. What surprises me are those reported as gone who were a lot younger than me, I thought. |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: BanjoRay Date: 14 Jul 12 - 04:27 AM Astonishing that none of the following have been listed: Sonny Terry, Roscoe Holcomb, Dock Boggs, Riley Puckett, Tommy Jarrell, Uncle Dave Macon, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Maggie Hammons, Cisco Houston, Big Bill Broonzy, Hobart Smith. These have all been around in my lifetime, and were all Great. |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Elmore Date: 14 Jul 12 - 08:00 AM As Waddon Pete points out, a lot of the musicians listed or not listed here have been mentioned on his In Memoriam page.Sonny Terry, Cisco Houston, and Big Bill Broonzy have been mentioned at least twice on this thread. |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Elmore Date: 14 Jul 12 - 12:36 PM I have done more than my share to perpetuate this dreary thread. I declare it to be out of control. Somebody get a stick and kill it.

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: GUEST,Norm Date: 24 Feb 14 - 07:12 PM So, has this entire list been compiled into one master list? I keep scrolling down and down..and down....a long way to go. |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: PHJim Date: 24 Feb 14 - 10:22 PM If I see a thread that doesn't interest me I find it easy to just not click on it, but go on to something that does catch my interest. No one will find every thread to their liking, but why add a post complaining about how boring you find the thread or try to add fake names that you think are funny. If it doesn't appeal, move on to something else. Obviously, some folks are interested. |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: MGM·Lion Date: 15 Jan 16 - 07:36 AM Checked back on this old thread to research something. Feel moved to add one of my favourite quotations, tho it comes from a book which overall I do not greatly care for -- Laurence Sterne's 'Tristram Shandy', 1759-67: "We had a fat, foolish scullion ... Master Bobby is dead, said Obadiah; he is certainly dead! –– So am not I, said the foolish scullion." Not so foolish that time, IMO. And so am not I! ≈M≈ But who is to add since last entry nearly two years ago? |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: GUEST,niccolo dappertutto Date: 17 Jan 16 - 06:31 PM Joe Hill- though may be in over 100 group by now but deserves a mention. Margaret Barry Delia Murphy John McCormack Victor Jara Kirsty McColl John Renbourne |
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: MGM·Lion Date: 18 Jan 16 - 12:28 AM Thank you. Hadn't heard of John Renbourn's death. Margaret Barry died in 1989 [see wikipedia], John McCormack in 1945, Kirsty MacColl in 2000, so should all have been listed before. Thanks for catching up with these. ≈M≈ |

Subject: RE: Folk Singers who Have Died From: Waddon Pete Date: 19 Jan 16 - 03:53 PM It may be worth noting that the "In Memoriam" thread exists to enable Mudcatters to research those folk artists who have died. Peter |
