All this talk of Dick G gives me a lot of pleasure. As far as I know
(please feel free to argue), we gave Dick his first gig south of the
Border. This was in 1971 at the Southampton University folk club. He was
good then and he's been getting better ever since.

This is theoretically Awful if One were to record eg a CD --
"But that would be wrong" (RMN).

I've never been bothered by my unit's AGC for recording FM, tho.
I suspect most stations are compressed anyway, many of them sound
somewhat lifeless to me compared to CD, or maybe it's just the
limitations of FM.  Whatever the VCR HIFI is doing, it doesn't
do it so it bothers me.  I've haven't adjusted the level controls
in a year & a half.  I did adjust it in the first place, tho,
so perhaps that initial tweeking made all the difference.

HEAR Music Catalog
37 Walnut Street
Wellesley Hills, MA
02181

1-800-959-HEAR

They have a fine collection of stuff, but it tends to be a
couple bucks more expensive than Tower Records, or your favorite
discount chain. On the other hand, they have stuff you might well
not find at Tower, etc.

Also, they charge $5.50 for shipping ($12.95 rush delivery), 
regardless of the order size, so big orders are relatively cheaper.

I've used them before and been satisfied, but the most use I get out
of the catalog is to point me at good stuff I can get cheaper elsewhere.
For obscure things, they're a help.

Does anyone agree that there's a business opportunity here for

"Hear" just opened a retail store here in Berkeley.

Capsule summary: interesting, but NOT a comprehensive
store, and with a slightly fakey concept.

The ides is, they have set up many many headphones, each
connected to a multi-platter CD units, which are loaded with the
recordings they wish to promote.  You can listen to
any of these, but only from track one on -- can't skip
ahead -- this is a major drawback for browsers.

I did not see anything to indicate this is a record

Does the Brennan family own/run (or did they used to ...) a pub in
Donegal?  I was told a story a while back by someone who had returned
from vacation in Donegal, who was driving along the road & stopped at
a pub for refreshments; reported location of which I have forgotten.
The pub was owned by members of the family & the vacationers got an
earful about Clannad & Enya, & of course helped their album sales

I think, but I'm not sure that the original was recorded
by Blind Blake.  For a more contemporary version (with
respect to the original) listen to Ry Cooder's and
Earl "Fatha" Hines version on Cooder's "Chicken Skin Music"
disc. Great recording, acoustic guitar and piano duet.
The rest of the disk is great too.

THAT TROTSKYITE MAMMY OF MINE

  (Tune: Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown)

Oh, that Trotskyite mammy of mine,
'Twas from her that I got my first line
Now I know she's in heaven
'Cause she's lefter than Lenin,
That Trotskyite mammy of mine.

When we'd romp through the neighbor's back yard,
Taking shots at the National Guard,
We would mount barricades
And we'd throw hand grenades
While the kids marched around as the People's Brigades.

When we fought on the high school eleven
And the score stood at zero to seven,
You could hear o'er the din
Mammy shouting like sin,
"Shoot your captains, you morons, and bore from within."

When the whistle has ended the game
You could hear mammy shout all the same,
"Reassemble your fraction for independent action!"
That Trotskyite mammy of mine.

The big sprawling brass theme that appears constantly throughout the movie  
might become the next "Chariots of Fire" theme.  Last weekend, one of the  
TV networks broadcast the "Ironman Triathalon" in Hawaii, and for one of  
the biographical sketches of one of the atheletes, they had this theme  
playing.

I would suggest getting a timer switch at the plug for the radio cassette
recorder. Such timers are widely available. Then have the timer enable the
power to the radio cassette recorder at the times of the day when you want
something recorded, and leave the recorder set up to record and set to
the station you want.

Actually, there is an important item that's not covered.  The recorder
can't control the FM tuner, so you can't timeshift more than one station.
Also, if you timeshift regular tv as well, you may run into trouble
as the vcr may not (never has?) programmable "simulcast".  You'll
need multiple taping units then if you timeshift different broadcast
media.  Now if someone would put FM tuning into a VCR, then we'd have
it made.

Also "On a Winter's Night," another compilation similar to
"When October Comes." Also includes songs by David Wilcox,
Christine Lavin, and other "mellow folk" songs. 

Cormac McCarthy's "Troubled Sleep" album has a very calming
influence on me; even though the words of some of the songs
are a bit sad/disturbing, the melodies and especially his
deep voice are very soothing.

Eileen McGann's "Turn It Around" has some beautiful music.

Windham Hill and Narada also have a lot of calming music,
but that really falls into the new age category rather than folk.
