12 Jan 10 - 10:16 PM (#2810561) Subject: Musical Bucket List From: mousethief I had the immense pleasure of seeing Gordon Bok live in concert last year, and got to cross off a big item on my musical bucket list. (And he definitely deserved to be on the list!) Do you have a musical bucket list? Someone you want to see, or play with, or a place you want to play, etc? Have you managed to cross some items off, particularly recently? O..O =o= |

Still on the list, having fun at it without the stage fright. Starting out at 61 isn't easy. Past that, I agree with Kat. |

14 Jan 10 - 06:45 AM (#2811641) Subject: RE: Musical Bucket List From: Jack Blandiver Well, weather permitting, tonight we're off to see John Kelly, who I've been looking forward to seeing for a while now by reputation alone. I say weather permitting but it's fine for us as we live on the same street as the folk club - I just hope John can make it! Otherwise - Rene Zosso & Anne Osnowycz! My musical heroes, mentors & inspiration these 30 years and more, and I've never seen them though a mutual friend took some footage at a concert a couple of years back, which I uploaded onto YouTube with Rene & Anne's permission. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbQrC2MYMls * There's gey few an they're a deid Isn't that the truth? What I wouldn't give to see Peter Bellamy again, or Ian Curtis, or Sun Ra, or Don Cherry, or.... Still, leaving the dead to bury the dead, I suppose the moral is to make the most of the living whilst we have the chance, in which case I might rejoice every time I go along to a singaround or a session at the preciousness of just being there. As Jon Harvison said, live each sweet second as if it's your last... |

Scanning the threads, it occurs to me that if I had already had a musical bucket list, Mudcat would have helped check of most of it already! To wit, a small sample: - meet in person some of the most amazing people and musicians from around the world, dedicated to a wide variety of folk traditions, and spend a weekend singing in the woods with them. Check, check, check. - belt out choruses with Theresa Tooley and Barry Finn. together. check. - sit with Kendall Morse and Sandy Paton while they made each other cry singing lovely old hobo songs. check. - sing camp songs around a 'campfire' with Caroline Paton and Joe Offer. check. - sing in front of people without throwing up. check. - sit on a bench under a tree and sing for Kendall. without throwing up. check. - see Mick in his underwear. check. (oops, was that my outside voice?!) My project for today is to work on my future list! Thanks! Dani |
