The "Darlins" were, of course, the Dillards, consisting of Doug Dillard,
Rodney Dillard, Mitchell Jayne, and Dean Webb.  At least, those were the
four on their early (first?) album, "Back Porch Bluegrass."  Band personnel
came and went over the years; most notably, when Doug Dillard left to strike
out on his own, ala Chad Mitchell.  They released many albums, some of which
may be in print - or back in print - on CD or cassette.  Good luck.

Thanks for the info about Papa John.  As reward, I offer you an album which
features a fiddle player that I think has a similar style to Papa John.  The
group is called Mamou.  They have a strong cajun influence but are basically
just good 'ol rock-n-roll.  The vocalist has a unique style that some might
find hard to get used to.  It was precisely that quality that has provided
the attraction for me though.  Most of the lyrics are in French.  The untitled
album with the beige cover is more rock.  They another (at least) that is
more traditional cajun.

"And the band played Waltzing Matilda" - I reckon this is the most
haunting of all these songs. There's also a version by the Skids if you
like that sort of thing  - I feel this is one case where the sex of the
vocalist is important, can't remember which album sorry.
If you want to hear the Last Post go to the War memorial at Ypres where
it's played every day in memory of those who died in the Great War. I

You're on.  I hope the guerilla doesn't object too strongly, though.

Actually, in all fairness, one of the reasons for the lack of jam sessions
could well be that there doesn't tend to be a single moment that isn't
occupied by at least one concert/workshop/whatever that I desperately
want to go to.  There are so many good performances at Vancouver that
there just isn't _time_ for picking.  You can hardly fault the management
for that.

In parts of Scotland, "flowers" comes out as "flurrs," or as "fluwers," or
even as the word which refers to the thing opposite the ceiling is spelled,
but not pronounced.
 
This the "flurry glen" is found to be that way in the spring, not in the

I've never heard of her or heard her music before.  What a beautiful

OK, I'll bite.  Here's one of my faves, "The Loch Tay Boat Song".
Probably one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard, and
of course, Andy Stewart's voice can melt stone...
The words to this and a number of other SW songs are in

Loch Tay Boat Song
[trad. arr. Silly Wizard]


           G                Bm        C      D     G
When I've done the work of day and I row my boat away
 Em       C     D        G   Em      Am                D
Down the waters of Loch Tay when the evening light is fallin'
 D7     G                Bm              C      D       G
Then I look towards Ben Lawers where the afterglories glow
 Em     C       D         G     Em     Am    D       G
And I dream on two bright eyes with a merry mouth below

              C         D       G
    SheUs my beauteous nighean ruach [nighean ruach = red-haired lass]
     Em       C       D      G
    She's my joy and sorrow too
      Em     C       D        G
    Though I own she is not true
    Em         Am             D
    Ah, but I cannot live without her
    D7      G                Bm
    For my heart's a boat in tow
    Em       C        D        Bm
    And I'd give the world to know
    Em      C        D      G
    If she means to let me go
    Em      Am      D     G
	   As she sings horee horo

Nighean ruach, your lovely hair has more beauty I declare
Than all the tresses fair from Killen to Aberfeldy
Be they lint, white, gold or brown, be they blacker than the sloe
They mean not as much to me as a meltin' flake of snow

    And her dance is like the gleam
    Of the sunlight on the stream
    And the songs the wee folk sing
    Ah, they're the songs she sings at milkin'
    But my heart is full of woe
    For last night she bade me go
    And the tears begin to flow
    As I sing horee horo

Melanie Safka.  Hers was the second concert I'd ever seen (first was Arlo).

I remember an interview with her, several years ago, when she said that she
was in Greenwich Village one day, shortly after her first single had come
out ("Beautiful People").  She was walking past a Cappezio (?sp) shoe store,
and heard, on the store radio, Rosco, a DJ on WNEW-FM announce her song, and 
that was the first time she ever heard it on the air.  She said she sat down
in the store and cried, and people came up to ask what was wrong; they thought
she couldn't find shoes that fit.

The last I heard, and this was probably 1984-5 or so, was she was involved in
the writing and acting in a play based on the life of Calamity Jane, and a
new album was forthcoming.  Never heard anything since then.

Her last (probably only) hit was "Brand New Key", which was attacked as being
somehow sexual in content ( B-? ).  She did wonderful songs, too many to list
here, but some were:

Nickel Song
Beautiful People
Someday I'll Be A Farmer
Kansas
Leftover Wine
Look What They've Done To My Song
Ring The Living Bell
I Don't Eat Animals      (and she doesn't)
Boy Next Door
Oh, Mom                  (think that's the name; it's from her daughter's POV)
Psychotherapy

Does ANYBODY know what happened?  I wanna know too!

Second the motion; please post it if you know it.  On the same subject,
someone, whose name I forget but who is apparently pretty famous in the
parody department, did one that started

   "Oh, how do you do, old Moggie the Cat?
    Do you know that you're lying where I almost sat?
    Do you mind if I push you a bit to the side?
    I've been driving all day on the road where you died."

It's a simultaneous parody of two of Bogle's greatest hits, "The Green
Fields of No Man's Flowers of the Willie McBride" and "Nobody's Moggie."
I posted it here a while back when I had the issue of Sing Out it was
printed in.  I don't have it any more and I've lost the posting, so if
anyone squirreled it away I'd love to get a copy.  Given all the interest
in the original, it might be worth posting too.

Does anyone know/have transcribed the harmony vocals from either "Barrett's

enough range for the latter song), but neither one quite works with one
lonely voice...

BTW, who is singing the highish, slightly cacophonous harmony in "Northwest
Passage"---the one that really jumps out in the phrase "through a land so
wide and savage"?

The local semialternative station, KBCO in Boulder, CO, plays him quite

In fact,Lyle's latest album, Joshua Judges Ruth, has been in the weekly

The Jasper festival is not held every year; I was there in '88 
(so it was either the last one or two Festivals ago). I don't 
know who's going to be there this year, but let me give it a 
_very_ hearty thumbs-up!

In '88, Valdy did both a kids' set and a mainstage concert; 
Amos Garrett (sp?) and Ellen McIlwaine had incredible sets,
there was a fantastic juggler; Eileen McGann did some very nice
stuff...I could go on and on.

Then, of course, there's the spectacular drive to get there
up the Snowfields Highway, not to mention the glorious scenery
all around the Festival itself.

It's not a big event, so some of the fairly-big-name acts
surprised me. But that seems to be the case with the smallert
Canadian festivals; their quality far outweighs their attendance.
(Which is another advantage...)

When you get back, let us know all about it (I'm envious..).

According to the NY Times, Earl Scruggs ("a banjo player", quote the Times) is 
one of 12 recipients of the National Medal of Arts this year and will be 
presented a medal at the White House today.  Is this a step toward higher 
visiblity for bluegrass, or perhaps a Bush strategy to get more of the Bubba
vote? 

Another winner was Minnie Pearl; while I have found her entertaining at times,
one hopes that she is not among the top 12 artists in this country.
