Just back from two weeks away, and in this morning's mail (2/23/06) there was a copy of your article from Lynn Van Matre herself- very nice that she sent me one, and I certainly feel honored to have my two cents-worth used therein, Art. Congratulations and thanks for the happy memories, and love to you both!    Jean

PS: No criticisms intended- but we wondered why, three sentences from the end of the piece, the writer was still referring to you as, "the fledgling folksinger..."

fledgling ... Oh that was probably a reference to those "Lock Moss Nesters".

And Jean, thanks to you for your two cents. ;-)   And for all of your years of music.

Art.
I very much enjoyed reading that article and your posts the last few years. Art, you've got sand and grit, and I ain't one damn bit surprised.

I can't play the banjo. But I can play the guitar pretty good. If you can sing and want to record sometime. I'll just pack up my Gallagher and come to where you say. I reckon we could find us a banjo player. I'd be honored to be your hands. I know Rick Fielding would have done it if he could, 'cause we talked about you. And I can and damn sure will do it if you see fit.

And that's no bullshit.

Chance and all,

Thanks but...

The voice ain't nothing now--even less than the normal 6 note range I once could manage. Too many breathing tubes put through the vocal cords over the years. Result is like a genetically engineered Rod McKuen & Van Ronk hybrid clone. Nothing I'd ever want people to have to pay to hear. Other factors too.

How's your speaking voice, Art? I think there would be a number of folks who would want to hear you talk about the folk process and your experiences within it.

Chance, was that a mangled guitar on that Getaway stage, eh? Or was that your twin sitting behind it? He sounded pretty good too. *G*
