I'm trying to learn to sing quietly...have a hospice gig in a couple of weeks and after years of trying to achieve some volume, find it not really appropriate for Hospice work...

I am listening to Norman Blake's new one - a choice offering of mostly traditional songs and tunes: 'Flower From the Fields of Alabama' Shanachie 6053. Its highlight for me is a delightful 6-minute rendition of Mississippi Sheiks' 'Sitting on Top of the World' that, with Bob Chuckrow on second guitar, captures that singular mood which Gordon Bok once described in a note to 'Reedy Lagoon' as 'summer sadness'.

I harhoured high hopes that you would be referring to the fella I know well---'specially since I was betting that you were from the North of England [Ray Fisher, Archie, Vin Garbutt, etc..] The Tony I know hails from Hexham, Northumberland, plays no instruments, as far as I know, but has arguably the finest tenor voice and one of the greatest knacks for song interpretation that I've heard in forty-plus years of folk clubs. He lacked only one thing --ambition. Ach!---We live and learn!! Boab

I've been listening to a TERRIBLY RECORDED concert by Joan Baez (with help from Michael Cooney) at the Squaw Valley Ski Resort --- 1963. (It was a California Youth Conference sponsored by the Church Of The Brethren. The tape includes talk, obviously off stage---Joan emphatically telling a workshop of sorts about a guy that she was quite taken with in New York who tosses off great songs off the top of his head like it was dandruff--Bobby Dylan. Contains Dylan stuff I'd never ever heard. And the young Michael doing "With God On Your Side". But it really is recorded terribly---on a reel-to reel recorder of Mr. Cooney's. Sound is wat too "HOT".

What does any one else think - I thought it was shite actually: dreary and vocally lazy with no thought about vocal arrangements - in fact far from the hottest thing about to happen it sounded remarkably like stuff I heard 20 years ago.
