Elegy-reverie for any lifetime, for rural living, for time, for any eden or memory of eden, for dixie. Two fiddles, no back-up.

(Sorry--no fiddle, but you'll ferget that aspect pronto once you listen to this. I promise) The Holy Modal Rounders, Steve Weber and Peter Stampfel, rehearsing for their 'Too Much Fun' cd, January 1998....Steve began to improvise this song, totally outta the blue. Peter picked-up on it in instant telepathic fashion. Sorry for the fidelity--it's from the audio track of a VHS tape--the rehearsal was filmed. Inspirational lyric: "Cashing in all my credit cards to buy a Mai-Tai or two, trying to get over her, what else can a poor boy do?" Steve sings and plays guitar, Peter sings and plays mandolin. Both of them monkey-cheep and whoop it up. The onlookers are the background whoopin', gigglin' and rolling on the floor laffin' they dang fool heads off noise.

Fiddle & cross-tuned tenor banjo. Another lo-fi mono track dubbed from a video cassette. Recorded in Bill's kitchen.

First heard from the Ian Campbell Folk Group, who sang it more than bowed it, tho Davey Swarbrick was in that combo. Actually, I think their recording is the only place I ever heard the tune. I meander towards the end there. More like '30 Foot construction-site trailer that was hit by a backhoe."

Charlie Poole artifact. I've long-loved this song--KINDA: the verse is fine, the chorus nuisancy. Too much Rudy Vallee meets Al Jolson Cologne & Wiffenpoof Nostalgia-Miasma. So, I suggested that Mr. Chorus enroll in the Remedial Polka-Talk Course at the local night school. All better now, tho Charlie might roll in his lonesome tomb, no doubt. What have they done to my song, Ma?

No fiddle. Just wanted to share some other-kinda music I like to make. Music for two guitars. I played both parts, via multi-track. Flat-picked a nylon-string guitar. An arrangement-adaptation of Ronnie Dyson's beautiful pop hit 'If You Let Me Make Love To You (Then Why Can't I Touch You).' (Circa 1970? 1969?) I admit to once-feeling sorta-sheepish about how much I loved that record (nearly wore out my 45rpm copy, listening intently over-and-over on headphones.) Then I found an online essay, written by a radio dj/music critic, who'd had a similar deep-love-response to the record. Then I met some savvy pro musicians who also considered the record a bafflingly-good wonder. So I quit worrying about it--if something's good, it's good, no matter the source or genre. Ronnie Dyson (RIP alas) had an unearthly-beautiful voice. The lyrics are likewise unearthly. Please try to hear Ronnie's recording of the song, if you haven't yet. If you aren't moved--DEEPLY--perhaps it's time to consult a Soul Doctor. Or check for ear-wax build-up. It somehow seems apt that the song came from a broadway show titled 'Salvation.'

Do you like soul music? I mean the Memphis stuff, the Motown stuff? I sure do. I like it just the same as unaccompanied appalachian fiddle, and for many of the same reasons: simple, direct, very musical, high-level riff-raffery, shake your body, tap your feet, get the juices going. Sounds big, but is simple: bass, two guitars, one keyboard, drums. Plus some hollering and harmonica. EVERYTHING is folk music, EVERYTHING is commercial, EVERYTHING is a mongrelized mutt, electric is acoustic, city is country, black and white are both kinda coffee-colored, music is music and foo on any kinda purism. Just play that dang thing. Shake a tambourine for me, honeybabes. Go dancing-deaf from the cajun combo over at the Grange and feel good when you git home
Which reminds me: here's the lyrics:
days going by like a dream...nights staring at a screen...polite conversation...but aint nobody home...adrift in a sea of safe...every precious thing in place...no method to the tedium...but you can call it paralysed.....................and if i had my way.....everything would change...maybe eden....maybe the stars.....but a new destination beyond golden bars....umm, someday....yeah, someday..........can't bring no good king down......but no good kings can be found.....in the history books.....or nightly news.....you can hear the choir sing.....the humpty dumpty blues.....you got to learn to dive.....into a deeper life.....you can call it what you want....right or left....but i'm gonna shout......'til my dying breath.....if i had my way
everything would change......maybe eden...maybe the stars....but there's a new destination
beyond golden bars

Morph of old Carter Family lyrics, lean Stax-Hi-American Studios approach. American roadhouse special. We don't need no steenkin' fuzzboxes.
