Subject: Utah Phillips in Hospital? From: Charley Noble Date: 10 Apr 02 - 10:59 AM An old folk music friend of mine from Portland, OR, sent me this e-mail about Utah's current state of health which I'm passing on: A neighbor told me that Utah Phillips has pneumonia and is not in good shape. He has a lot of connections in Portland and spends time here nearly every year. He was just here for a benefit concert in February with Mark Ross--looking and sounding good at that time. There was a nurses strike on and he went out and regaled the troops on the picket line. He spent one afternoon visiting at a tent city that has been pushed out to the edge of town near the airport. He had plenty to say as you can imagine. I got an email that suggested cards and letters to: Utah Phillips POB 1235 Nevada City, CA, 95959 |

Subject: RE: Utah Phillips in Hospital? From: Mark Ross Date: 10 Apr 02 - 12:59 PM Last I heard Utah was recuperating at home, and he was doing OK when I talked to him last week. He seems to have caught pneumonia 2 weeks after Portland when he went to Seattle. He had to cancel a residency in Southern California, but he has re-scheduled for later this month(this weekend maybe). I will pass on any messages to him the next time we talk. MArk Ross |
Subject: RE: Utah Phillips in Hospital? From: SharonA Date: 10 Apr 02 - 01:56 PM *whew* Glad to hear he's recuperating. After all the losses in the entertainment world that we've suffered recently, I hope even more fervently that Utah Phillips will stay with us for a good while longer! |

Subject: RE: Utah Phillips in Hospital? From: reggie miles Date: 10 Apr 02 - 06:35 PM When in the Seattle area Uter often stays with a long time friend and musical cohort JW. I too am glad to hear he's on the mend. He's a huge inspiration, role model and a joy to hang with. There are too few of his like among us today, and I echo your sentiments Sharon, that we should treasure his inimitable spirit. |
