Used to perform at a Port Huron coffeehouse named the Cellar. Self-produced an Lp, the title of which I don't recall. Any links or information would be appreciated. |

On a Joni Mitchell site there's a bit about a concert they shared, and the writer says he remembers he was every bit as good as her, and he liked them both. |

27 Jul 02 - 05:09 PM (#755597) Subject: RE: Help: Longshot - Chuck Mitchell From: rangeroger The info on the link you gave said he died in June of 1992. Maybe he came back and did a posthumous performance. rr |

27 Jul 02 - 08:20 PM (#755657) Subject: RE: Help: Longshot - Chuck Mitchell From: catspaw49 Kevin, that's a DIFFERENT Chuck Mitchell! It's on the net in several places that the guy who played Porky in the "Porky's" movies was the same Chuck Mitchell who was married to Joni Mitchell.....NOT TRUE. I saw a listing for him within the past month but I forget where he was playing......the musician, not the dead actor. Spaw |

29 Jul 02 - 09:37 PM (#756695) Subject: RE: Help: Longshot - Chuck Mitchell From: Lonesome EJ Strangely enough, I may have the album you are talking about. I was given this album in the mid-70s and can't recall listening to it even once. It's called Dreams and Stories, is on the Strider label, and was recorded in 1969. The cuts are 1)Raggedy Andy 2)Broken hearted, Mama 3)The Rise and Fall of Robert E Lee 4)Mr Bojangles 5)The Bilbao Song 6)Look Out, Girl 7)I'm Worried about You 8)Acapulco 9)Dreams and Stories. On the cover is this quote, which is the reason I never listened to this album... "On the evening of a Carolina grey day, summer seacoast grey day, he did his show in a coffee house. In the audience some strangers watched. In the dressing room later, they talked and smiled. And they all said "I like you." The next day they went to the beach and swam and laughed and talked, around a driftwood fire. The next day was another day and he flew off to another town to sing of jet-set ladies and riverboat gamblers. of dance halls and rag halls, of things gone wrong and things gone right; and friends." yeesh |
