✞REMEMBRANCES April 22nd In 2013..Richie Havens, Singer-songwriter, and guitarist who opened the Woodstock Festival ("Freedom"; "Here Comes The Sun"), dies from a heart attack at 72. Born in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York, Havens was the oldest of nine children. ⬇️🎶🎸
Love this.
Clawhammering my Bart Reiter banjo into submission today, thinking about Pete Seeger. I grew up a few miles from Pete’s Clearwater Folk Fest in NYState. Pete was always around playing everywhere when I was a kid. Dug this gem out & gave it a listen. #PeteSeeger #banjo #folkmusic
Going to my first Bluegrass Festival, Tottenham Conservation Area, June 21, 22, 23. Can’t wait. #tottenhambluegrassfestival #bluegrass
Listening to a bunch of @RhiannonGiddens albums this still chilly Sunday in Toronto. Some seriously fine music. #rhiannongiddens #folkmusic
Great show last night at @HughsRoomLive - Healey’s Jazz Wizards - the trad jazz band once led by the late Toronto blues legend Jeff Healey. My kind of jazz too. #tradjazz #Hughsroomlive
Always thought the most embarrassing political acronym belonged to the Canadian Conservative Reform Alliance Party (CCRAP). Then I came across the Southern Tenant Farmer’s Union, or STFU. Clearly a group not interested in robust debate. #politics
Off to @HughsRoomLive tonight (April 16) in Toronto to review the @OldManLuedecke show for @rootsmusicanada. I've heard it's a hot ticket. #HughsRoomLive #folkmusic
Here are some thoughts I had about the magnificently run @folkawards (Canadian Folk Music Awards) in St. John’s last week, posted at @rootsmusicanada. Big congratulations to the organizers! #cfmas #folkmusic rootsmusic.ca/2024/04/15/rev…
“The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” was released in Aug. of ‘76. I grew up on the edges of the Palisades Interstate Park region in NY & still recall driving around with colours changing, the air getting colder, listening to that song. Incredible. #GordonLightfoot #folkmusic
For a time everything folk music was called a hootenanny. I pulled this one from my collection. It has the unfortunate release date of 1964. Great line up, though. #folkmusic #PeteSeeger #BobDylan #ClancyBrothers.
A shot of the grand finale with all participants from Friday night's show @Tranzac in Toronto for the Chris Langan Weekend. Many familiar faces. A fine time. #IrishMusic #ChrisLanganWeekend
A lovely album in my collection by Margaret Christl, Ian Rob, and Grit Laskin, one of the founders of the @folkawards (Canadian Folk Music Awards). It’s a 1976 release on the Folk Legacy Records label. Lots of Canadian content. #folkmusic
This looks fascinating.
Another recent acquisition to feed my obsession with the history and development of roots music - the role of @RounderRecords in the process by @NCDavidMenconi. It’s very near the top of the pile. #rootsmusic #folkmusic
As I unearthed this piece of vinyl from my collection, I was reminded that I became immersed in the Canadian folk scene just a couple of years after Stan died. Never got to see him in performance, but the music lives on. #Folkmusic #Canada
Back from St. John’s after several days there for the annual @folkawards (Canadian Folk Music Awards). What a great time it was. My knees have almost forgotten walking the hills😀. #folkmusic. #CFMAs
Got my pass for the @LanganIrish (Chris Langan Irish Music Weekend) in Toronto (Apr. 12-14) where I’ll continue my life-long quest of learning how to play the Irish flute. Looks like a great event! #Irishmusic #folkmusic chrislangan.ca
Here’s a piece I recently wrote for @rootsmusicanada about Another Bloody Folk Club, a wonderful effort in Toronto to promote the music of the British Folk Revival. #folkmusic rootsmusic.ca/2024/04/10/ano…
I miss the days when folk music was considered a threat to national security. I think we’d all welcome the attention. Here’s a relatively new book I just picked up on an oft-told tale. #folkmusic
