04 Jan 02 - 09:50 AM (#620854) Subject: Doctor Hook/Shel Silverstein From: GUEST,Roger I have done a number of web searches trying to track down words and chords for some of the great songs written by Shel SIlverstein and recorded by Dr. Hook. I know I'm pushing my luck a bit to call them folk. I'm thinking of great songs like "Last Morning", "Staying Song" and "Carry me Carrie". Any advice gratefully received. Roger |

04 Jan 02 - 01:32 PM (#621008) Subject: RE: Doctor Hook/Shel Silverstein From: Cappuccino I shouldn't worry about calling them 'folk', mate - think of all the songs Silverstein wrote for Bobby Bare's 'Lillabies, Legends and Lies' album. You could do any single one of them in a folk club... well, not the one with the five-year-old kid singing on it, but all the rest would pass muster! All the best - Ian B |

06 Jan 02 - 05:06 PM (#622309) Subject: RE: Doctor Hook/Shel Silverstein From: Naemanson I do a few of Shel's songs at coffee houses. They are great and I contend they are as folky as any singer-songwriter stuff.

Now Dr. Hook is an interesting - very divergent artest - that jumps through styles like girl's skipping rope. |

I saw the guy with the eyepatch and his band... oh, must have been ten years ago now. He was brilliant! - Ian B
