14 Dec 05 - 01:16 PM (#1627295) Subject: Nimrod Wkman - Lord Bateman From: Scotus Hi out there, Some years ago I was in the house of a friend of a friend in Tennessee and saw an amazing video of Nimrod Workman singing Lord Bateman. Just recently I was at the Appalshop place in Kentucky and bought their video of Nimrod thinking that would be the one. Although very enjoyable it doesn't have much singing and certainly not Lord Bateman. Can anyone help point me in the direction of the video I want? Jack |

No speakers at work so I didn't bother to take a listen. Janie |

14 Dec 05 - 02:42 PM (#1627352) Subject: RE: Nimrod Workman - Lord Bateman From: Janie There is also "Dreams and Songs of the Noble Old", a Lomax video available through Rounder on which he may sing. (I am assuming the Appalshop video you picked up was an Appalshop production and so a different video from this one.) Janie |

I can't remember if he sang that song, but you can do a search for Vestapol and send them an e-mail. Stefan Grossman, who distributes the video, would probably know. |

11 Jan 06 - 02:56 PM (#1646387) Subject: RE: Nimrod Workman Video - Lord Bateman From: Scotus Well - I'm still looking! Rounder just replied today to say they no longer carry videos so couldn't say whether 'Lord Baseman'(Bateman) was on 'Dreams and Songs of the Noble Old'. Amazon have it, but I don't think they will give me any content info in that detail! Anyone out there know if it contains Nimrod singing the said ballad? Jack Beck |

She used to perform some with Nimrod and may have family archives from which she can confirm what is on the tape? I don't have time to do a search now, but if you Google her I bet you can find out how to contact her. Janie |

Lots of other remarkable stuff on the Lomax channel on You Tube - look at Little Margaret, and see the listening older singer enraptured, see the New Orleans White Eagles lamming in to their chant. Wondrous. Ewan |
