25 Aug 02 - 09:03 PM (#771489) Subject: Hobo set at NOMAD From: kendall For those interested, Sandy Paton and I will be doing a set at N.O.M.A.D. of hobo songs. Many of you had nice comments on that impromptu session we did at the Getaway last fall. I understand Sinsull was the one who suggested this. |

26 Aug 02 - 12:17 AM (#771566) Subject: RE: Hobo set at NOMAD From: Sandy Paton The week after the Getaway, Rita. I figured Kendall and I could work a few of the kinks out of it when we run it by the good folk at the Getaway. A practice run, so to speak. The idea came up too late for the preliminary grid of NOMAD workshops, so Marc penciled it in at 10 o'clock on Saturday night. Not prime time, but the die-hards will still be around, and that's the only audience Kendall and I can expect to attract. Fortunately, I'm used to staying up most of the night, so I should still be awake. I only hope Kendall can develop such an unwholesome folkie schedule in time. He has to get up early to walk the dog, you know. Sandy |

26 Aug 02 - 08:45 AM (#771671) Subject: RE: Hobo set at NOMAD From: Midchuck Since the Woodchucks have a set from 9:00 to 10:00, everyone will obviously still be there at 10:00, so you should have no trouble getting an audience. Peter. |

27 Aug 02 - 11:19 PM (#772679) Subject: RE: Hobo set at NOMAD From: Art Thieme Wish I could be there with you two. I had a slew of those songs at one time. LUTHER THE JET (his hobo name---real name Luther Gette) is someone you all ought to have at your festivals. He has a fine new CD out of his Hobo songs that he wrote from his personal experiences. I forgot to mention, Luther is the current and former Hobo King. He was elected to that high honor at the big hobo gathering in Britt, Iowa. He also has a PHD in French Literature. Sings unaccompanied. Works a bunch as part of THE ROSE TATTOO --- a sometime music group who does hobo and I.W.W. songs. They are: Bruce U. Utah Phillips, Mudcatter Mark Ross, Larry Penn, Banjo Fred Starner, Rik Palieri and somne others... Art Thieme |

31 Aug 02 - 11:04 AM (#774816) Subject: RE: Hobo set at NOMAD From: Big Mick The "West Nile thing" refers to a mosquito born virus that is making its way across the eastern US. It is causing a mild hysteria in my opinion, but there is some justification for concern. My understanding is that 1 in 100 of those bitten will get the virus and most of those will suffer no more than mild headache or flu symptoms. Mick |

Even their website does not explain. Thank you! It sounds like fun! I sorta figured out the Music Art and Dance, and maybe the N for Newtown, right? But, that O? |

03 Sep 02 - 08:39 AM (#776109) Subject: RE: Hobo set at NOMAD From: Barbara Shaw Kendall did a hobo trick at Thomas Point Beach this past weekend. He wandered in, wandered off, was never seen by me again, although there were a few sightings. He's got a beautiful new banjo, so he must have been off giving viewings to the many thousand banjo lovers. Just noticed on the new grid that my band ShoreGrass is doing a set called "Bulegrass Old and New" at 9. I wonder how many bule-grass fans there actually are out there? Kendall, I'm going to try to wander over afterwards and catch some of your set with Sandy. |

03 Sep 02 - 09:21 AM (#776136) Subject: RE: Hobo set at NOMAD From: kendall Barbara, after I visited your site that first time, I returned three times at different times, and you were not there. So, I was not the only wanderer! I look forward to seeing you at NOMAD. |

03 Sep 02 - 02:14 PM (#776289) Subject: RE: Hobo set at NOMAD From: Barbara Shaw Kendall, we looked around the circle for you a few times, but you were well hidden. Rest that voice now, or you really will sound like a hobo at NOMAD! By the way, the producer announced that there will be no Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival next year. She's taking a year off, but will resume the festival the following year (supposedly). It was announced after the last show Sunday night. Peter, I'd like to finally hear the Woodchucks if we get there early enough. (By the way, our set is actually bluegrass. I don't know any bule-grass songs.) |
