Paul Brady
Nightstage, Cambridge Ma 497-8200 11/12/92 8:30pm
"tickets selling quickly" says the Nightstage tape


Maura O'Connell
Nightstage, Cambridge Ma 497-8200 11/24/92

(I can only get those tour cards at the shows, which isn't much help
to parts of the country where they've already been..
perhaps someone on a mailing list or who knows the promoters can help out)

Jez Lowe's tour was apparently only Northeast...lots of Mass, a show each
in Baltimore & DC, I think, & NH & Maine dates this weekend;

If you're going this weekend & he doesn't have it in the set for some
reason, ask him for the song about the death-cry of the shipbuilding
crane (that's a derrick, not a bird)

I took a chance and looked up  Iris Dement in the
Noteworthy Mail order CD catalogue and they have it listed
for 11.00
Noteworthy's CD catalogue is quite expansive. It is definitly
worth ordering. And except for the phonecall, It's FREE
Just call 1 603 881 5729 (new hampshire) and they'll send
you one. After that it is a toll free number when you order.

Maybe we should try compiling a list of music mail-order
catalogues that members here can get access to various companies.

In your posting to the group list the name, phone number, type
of music, and whether there is a fee to get a catalogue.

Cheers

Dick Gaughan. A name to conjour with. In the 70's he was a unique
act that I would go to but never liked - I prefered other tunes to 
the songs he sang, and you always had to listen to his reactionary
politics. But he was always worth going to. Now? well he's just failed
to turn up to the Hat and Feather in Bath, UK. using failed voice as
an excuse. This is the third time he's done this. I think he must have
retired! or is scared of the Hat and Feather (If you knew the place,
this is not so silly as it seems!) But Nick Jones was a class act. The
best of the singer guitarists of the late 60's - 70's. Used to see
him in the club in Bangor, North Wales, and he was simply great.
I've not heard how he is after the crash, but I hope he's OK.

Dick Gaughan has been mentioned here a couple of times lately.  He's one 
of my favourite singers.  I've only seen him perform live once a long time 
ago with the Boys of the Lough (I think it was in 1975 or 1976).  I have 
a few of his recordings but I don't know much about him.  Can anyone tell 
me about him?  What is he doing musically these days?  Does he ever tour 
in North America?

Tom Lehrer also wrote at least one new song last year---it was
performed on the Garrison Keilor radio show (and written specially
for it, I think). Called `Hanukkah in Santa Monica.'  This is a
great song---as good as the classics from the 60's. 

He lives half the year in Cambridge and half the year in Santa
Cruz. He teaches two courses at UC Santa Cruz---one on American
Musical Comedy (somebody already described that), and a course
designed to introduce frightened humanists to the joys of mathematics.

Also, Pete Seeger wrote a set of words to the same tune called

My baby book contains a list of 17 songs that I had learned from my
mother by the age of 2 1/2.  I also learned songs from other human
beings in highschool (a boarding school in Vermont that had a vigorous
folk tradition) and at St Andrews University in Scotland, where bawdy
conviviality was still possible in some circles.  In between, I mostly
learned songs from books, from the radio (I used to tape them), and
from records, in that order of frequency.  I still think other human
beings are the best way.  But in our day, in my experience, that has
become almost impossible.  I still meet people who like to sing for
themselves & their friends, but few of them know many songs.  So we
end up reading out of books.

If a fairy godmother gave me the power to make one invention
physically impossible, I suppose I would be responsible & make it
nuclear weapons or something, but I would be awfully tempted by
loudspeakers.

   I've been using the tune of "Bold Reynard", from June Tabor's "Ashes and

   one of the more extreme examples of Tabor's use of regional pronunciation,

   like myself.  After an extended session with headphones and equalizer,
   I came up with the following incomplete lyric, and I'm wondering if
   anyone happens to know the missing lines, or if some fellow Tabor fan
   with a better ear for British accents might be willing to help me out.
   Even wild guesses would be appreciated; if I can't come up with the
   officially correct words I'll just have to make something up.

It's also on Martyn Wyndham Read's album, Mussels on a Tree.  His
pronounciation is impeccable, but I won't have time to listen to
it for week or so.  I'll save your transcription and try to remember
it when I get back from Chicago next weekend.  His notes say:

A song about foxhunting from the point of view of the fox.  I hope
any foxes listening will excuse the shortcomings in the translation
from the fox tongue into English.  The human author responsible is
Dave Toye, a Horsham man living in Sussex (many miles from Aberystwyth)

Everything I've heard off it, I've liked very much.
Several years ago, Brown gave a local interview in which he was asked about
this album & he said he was dissatisfied; that he had a very short time to make
it in, that his voice wasn't up to scratch, & I believe I heard
him say that he'd like to rethink the arrangements a little (but its been a
long time)...I can't hear any of that, it may just be recriminations about
something he wanted to do for a long time but had to grab the opportunity
for when it came without a long enough creative gestation period.

Oh, at least a couple of us :-)  I heard about him from a friend whose
musical tastes are really similar, and had a chance to see him last month
in Fort Worth.  He played the Caravan Of Dreams, which may be the best
venue in Texas for acoustic music.  I got pulled in close emotionally
with the first song, and I enjoyed everything he played enormously.  His
impromptu poems are also terrific.  I have two CDs on order, and I guess
there'll be another one out in February or so.  I wish I knew what songs
he played, but I'll have to sit down and listen when the CDs get here.
