From: GUEST,Claymaker Between ten and fifteen years ago, when I used to be able to listen to Mike Flynn"s Folk Sampler on a more regular basis, he was regularly playing an LP by a guy named Creighton Lindsey. I got ahold of Mr. Flynn by phone and asked him for more info about getting this guy's recordings. He gave me record label info but when I contacted them AND distributor I was told that due to a warehouse fire there were no more LPs available--I know, I know, this sounds made up--but it's true. Mr. Lindsey did what I consider the finest guitar arrangement of Bedside of a Stranger I've ever heard and now all I have of it is a tape, recorded off the radio, 10-15 years old AND it's one of those 2 hour cassettes (very thin tape). I thought there was no way to find this guy--then I met your group--YOU GUYS KNOW EVERYTHING! Do any of you know Creighton Lindsey? |

LOL).... and I am no Net-surfing expert, I still look for theings the old-fashioned way cuz I don't know any better. But I always got my best stuff, pre-CD-era, from public libraries. (That's where my 2-hour bootlegs came from!) Have you asked your local librarian to do a search to see if anyone in their inter-library system has this fella stashed away? Also there are various links here at the Mudcat to folk radio shows.... which would be a place you could send e-mails spreading your question out farther. Just in case : ~ ) none of our resident experts has Mr. Lindsey staying over at their house this weekend, which I suppose is always possible too.... Good luck. ~Susan ~S~ |
