09 May 07 - 11:16 PM (#2047553) Subject: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: jacqui.c Many happy returns for the 10th to my darling husband. The Old Geezer hits 73 this year but you wouldn't know it. He has spent the past week plumbing in an ensuite toilet and vanity because we got let down by the plumber. This despite the fact that he has never tackled a plumbing job before and he had to spend most of the time in the crawlspace area of the cellar, bent almost double whilst working. The guys at Ace Hardware have become friends with the number of trips to the shop and the advice he has elicited from them. I have learned a few more curse words (he really has a very original vocabulary in that respect) and even more respect for his abilities. SINSULL has material for another parody on Peter Kagan, which will be eagerly awaited. The job is now just about finished, just a few finishing touches to do but he's still getting paranoid about possible leaks. All dry today so far. We will go out for a meal to celebrate his birthday with his adored granddaughter and SINSULL tells me that she has juct the right gift for him. Live long Kendall and die happy - you deserve it. |

I still remember meeting you when you turned up with Sinsull to look at a house (she was buying not you ...) and all I could say was --- 'are you Kendall Morse, THE Kendall Morse...... oh my, please sit next to me and talk while I totally ignore my client and relegate her to the back seat of the car.....' And what a pleasure it was to come to your house to list it for you and find is stuffed with wonderful music -- yours is the first house (apart from mine) that I have found Eric Bogle music in!!!! And to have become part of your circle of friends and to really get to know you (and Jacqui, Tami, Sinsull, Curmudgeon, the Bat Goddess etc) - a delight. OK - have a I been sycophantic enough.....????? Long may you celebrate your birthday!! Here's to many more! |

10 May 07 - 08:31 AM (#2047916) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: MMario The important question is, will Jacqui let him out of the cellar for his birthday? Kendall - I am counting on you to make my father look like a young whippersnapper - and he has hit 90 and still going strong. The happiest of b'days and Many many many many many more |
10 May 07 - 08:52 AM (#2047924) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: jacqui.c He's out the cellar. We went to breakfast at Becky's Diner very early and then took Seamus to the beach for a run. We got back to find that SINSULL had left his birthday present, a moose wine bottle holder! I'll take photos later. He asked me where we should put it but I declined to make a suggestion. Terri - the crawl space is a part of the cellar. Part is normal height but the majority is only about 4'6" high and murderous to get abut in and that was where he had to work. |

And if you ever finish your plumbing, Jaqui has some pruning for you to do. I know it just sounds like more past-overdue plumbing, much in the way that a mouldy fig is not a good date any more, but it isn't like that. But after all that, the piper will finally get paid, the Kendall will be lit up and hopefully won't be too plumb tuckered out to be properly tuckered in for the night, and a good birthday celebration will have been had by all. Complete with some spare best wishes from Laurel Maryland. Happy Birthday! |

11 May 07 - 01:53 PM (#2049368) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: Susan A-R Late, as usual, but heart felt. Happy Birthday to you. I was actually thinking of you this noon. The Church of the Crucified one in Moretown VT is undergoing rennovations. The volunteers working on the church dropped off lunch for the staff of WDEV, an amazing radio station here in Vermont, and promised to do so again tomorrow if Ken Squire (the fellow who owns the station) will play "I Don't Look Good Naked Anymore" on his "Music to Go to the Dump by" program tomorrow morning. That song is popular with the most amazing folks. Anyway, wishing you a belated Happy Birthday, and many more. Susan |
12 May 07 - 06:08 AM (#2049802) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: Ron Davies Happy birthday Kendall (even if I'm late). Your version of "Lorena" on an early album (Lower Lights?) is still the standard by which all others are judged. Among other reasons, it's the only one I know that lets the song unfold--and does all 6 verses. I've been thinking how ironic that is that a quintessential Down-Easter did the perfect rendition of a song often associated with the South. And your versions of your stories are also immortal (typed" immoral" first--maybe it does pay to proofread after all)----especially the one about "Let's pretend we're married". May you long continue to grace our lives---and Mudcat. |
12 May 07 - 06:46 AM (#2049823) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: kendall Ron, what a priceless comment! Thank you so much. |

12 May 07 - 06:56 AM (#2049829) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: Ron Davies Kendall-- Rita Ferrara and I (separately) sing "Lorena"--all 6 verses---quite a bit--and I bet that's due to your influence. It sure is in my case--and I try to take a measured pace--trying to emulate you. It's a great song to climb a hill with--on my walk to the Metro every weekday. It's 4 long songs or 5 short songs to the Metro. And with " Lorena" it's definitely 4. |
12 May 07 - 08:31 AM (#2049875) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: kendall I first heard this one by Tennessee Ernie Ford back in the late 50,s, but he didn't sing all of it. Too long for a standard LP. Then I got the rest of it from an old book of songs. I changed one word, from the heart THROBS on, to beats on, and I heard John Hartford sing it "beats" on. That's one of the many things I like about Folk Legacy; they will record the whole song regardless of its length. |
12 May 07 - 09:15 AM (#2049897) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Kendall From: Ron Davies Kendall-- You're right--too many labels think they have to abridge a song to make it acceptable--and I'm not talking about 120-verse ballads. I understand that National Geographic abridged "Richmond is a Hard Road To Travel" in its LP about the Civil War--even though the original--9 verses, I think, is full of great information--and some humor. They cut it down to about 5, I think--it was a local singer, Andy Wallace, who sang the song on the LP --and he does a dynamite version--the whole thing. Labels just have to have a little more confidence that their audiences actually like the songs--and want to hear them all the way through. |
