18 Nov 06 - 03:37 PM (#1887840) Subject: Which autobiography? From: GUEST,Tunesmith Which musician/singer's autobiography would you most like to read ( one that doesn't already exist) - and why? I'll go first! Dave Swarbrick's would be interesting - all the different bands, and musically characters that he's encountered. It would/should be fascinating. |

19 Nov 06 - 01:13 PM (#1888341) Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Little Robyn And so would Stan Hugill's. He came to NZ when he was a sailor! At least, that's what he told me back in 1972. Robyn |

19 Nov 06 - 04:40 PM (#1888476) Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Folkiedave Can I recommend an existing book, Judith Tick's book of Ruth Crawford Seeger, Peggy's mother. MacColl's book "Journeyman" misses a lot out, as Peggy says in the introduction. |

20 Nov 06 - 07:31 AM (#1888836) Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: GUEST,Penguin Egg Woody Guthrie. "Bound for Glory" was about his early years, but I'd love to read about his later years: his views on his times and the people he met. "Bound for Glory" is well worth a read, by the way. Excellent writer. |

20 Nov 06 - 07:54 AM (#1888843) Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Liz the Squeak I've read the books by Pamela Stephenson on Billy Connolly and they are well worth it. The books are humourous, moving and packed with odd bits of silliness, and the reason why he dyed his beard purple! LTS |

20 Nov 06 - 01:41 PM (#1889076) Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Little Robyn And Pete Seeger's one as well. If I remember correctly it's called "How can I keep from singing". It was in the local library. I used to have a copy of "Bound for Glory" but I gave it away - to a Woody fan. Robyn |

20 Nov 06 - 07:33 PM (#1889421) Subject: RE: Which autobiography? From: Bat Goddess Penguin Egg, get Ed Cray's recent biography of Woody "Ramblin' Man". Not only a very good read, but more accurate than Woody was in "Bound for Glory". I'd like to read Louis Killan's or Norma Waterson's. Linn |
