Subject: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: catspaw49 Date: 25 May 00 - 08:54 PM Well it seemed to be going well with lots of folks taking turns, so I thought a Part 2 might be in order. Here's a starter, not hard, but a bit tougher perhaps:
* Wisconsin native that "found a home" in the Appalachian Mountains Now that's a lot of info and you ought to get this pretty quick. Winner gets the next one. Spaw |

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: catspaw49 Date: 25 May 00 - 08:56 PM BTW....I was going to do Stan Rogers and as a clue say his death was from smoking, but I thought that was a little bit of "dirty pool." We need to keep the clues legit. Spaw |

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: DonMeixner Date: 26 May 00 - 12:07 AM John McCutcheon would be my guess. |

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: Rick Fielding Date: 26 May 00 - 12:35 AM Can I have a turn? The prize? a "45" from my other "secret life" that nobody here knows about! OK, here goes. 1. Known as good banjo frailer in New York during the sixties. 2. Of Nordic decent 3. Was multi-millionare before the age of 26 4. Has checked in on Mudcat occasionally (anonymously) 5. Believe me you've DEFINITELY seen him! 6. Has same initials as a currently prolific Mudcatter. Well there you have it. If no one gets it in about 4 or 5 tries I'll give you the answer, 'cause those "45"s can be a bit embarassing! Rick |

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: Rick Fielding Date: 26 May 00 - 12:04 PM OK, one more clue: He didn't make those millions as a solo artist. |

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: Jim Krause Date: 26 May 00 - 12:50 PM Answer: John McCutcheon. 'Spaw, you gave it away when you said Wisconsin native. Oh yeah, a bit of trivia, John's favorite beer is Leinenkugel's (sp) which is brewed in Wisconsin, of course. |

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: Whistle Stop Date: 26 May 00 - 12:52 PM Rick, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Steve Martin. |
|
Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: Jim Krause Date: 26 May 00 - 12:53 PM Rick, Sounds like Pete Seeger, to me. He made those million, I'm guessing as a member of The Weavers. I further guess that some of those revenues came from Goodnight Irene. How'd I do? |

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: Rick Fielding Date: 26 May 00 - 10:29 PM Mac..Dan Crary. (the Deacon!) Good tries folks, but the frailer who made REAL good and shares a first name and initial with our Peter T. is Peter Tork of the Monkees. (said I didn't want to embarass myself by lettin' someone hear one of the old 45s! Rick |

Long time school teacher 3. Composed half of one of the most requested folk-type songs of all time. 4. Used an alias (don't remember his real name) 5.

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: catspaw49 Date: 26 May 00 - 10:42 PM Wow!! Just finished sticking a worthless thought on another thread and thought I'd come look for this...and now there's TWO and THREE??? Rick---That was inspired. I would never have gotten it. soddy--Hey, that's one of the few beers I actually like but I never to how to say it or spell it, but I can recognize the label!!! If I ask for it, I always end up making a joke with the guy and asking for Lingerflingerflugen. Generally they laugh and say, "Oh, you mean (insert correct beer name)." They always seem to know, if they have it that is. Spaw |

Subject: RE: NAME THAT ARTIST--part 2 From: Rick Fielding Date: 26 May 00 - 11:14 PM Mac gets ALF EDWARDS! Very good. Now how about the Appalachian legend? ******************************************************** Simple one. heh, heh, 1. First performer to play an ovation guitar on stage. 2. Was called "the singing Christian" 3. Under his "real" name, recorded this line: "If you won't send me a woman...then send me a SISSY man!" 4. Personal bit: In my opinion, one of the finest players who ever lived. ****************************************************** Hey, I'm outta control! New one. 1. Spent much of her/his life as a busker singing for theatre line-ups. 2. Was "collected" by a Mudcatter. 3. Was proud of being one of the "Travelin' People" 4. Fiercely protective of his/her songs. Would resort to violence (so the stories go) if someone sang one of his/her songs. 5. Album cover says: "World's Greatest Folksinger". ******************************************************* |
