[dcab-l] Song: Bamboo

Music Lovers & Songwriters:

 

David Van Ronk (1936–2002) was an American folk singer and important figure in the 60s folk

revival in New York’s Greenwich Village in the 1960s.  River Come Down (or Bamboo) was first

released on the album Van Ronk Sings in 1961.

 

Van Ronk was a widely admired figure in the Village, presiding over the coffeehouse folk culture.

He befriended the Washington Square  crowd:  Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, Patrick Sky, Phil Ochs,

Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Joni Mitchell.   Dylan recorded Van Ronk's "House of the Rising Sun" on

his first album, which the Animals turned into a chart-topping rock single in 1964, helping

inaugurate the folk-rock movement.  Van Ronk's work ranged from old English ballads to blues,

gospel, rock, New Orleans jazz, and swing and ragtime guitar.

 

 

I saw Van Ronk in college, while sitting on the gym floor.  His manner was rough and testy,

disguising a warm, sensitive core.  He mesmerized me…  I seemed unable to take my eyes off

him!  He’d get into brash wailing,  grunting, and a whole host of other guttural sounds or gravel,

all to add emphasis and grit.  He got my attention!

 

This recording of me and my Martin, totally different from Van Ronk’s delivery, took place at an

Armadillo Day Festival near Reading, Pa…  when I wore a younger man’s clothes.

[dcab-l] Bluegrass Gospel: I Like to Hear Them Preach It

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

Here is a Bluegrass Gospel song which appeared within our CD: Ride Out the Storm:

 

 

It was listed as written by the “King of Bluegrass” Jimmy Martin and Paul Williams, his Mandolin

player.  The proper band name was: Jimmy Martin and the Sunny Mountain Boys.

 

The actual writer was most probably "Big" Paul Williams (Paul Humphrey).  He took the surname

Williams when he began his musical career in the early 1950s.  He was guitarist and lead singer for

the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers before replacing Earl Taylor in the Sunny Mountain Boys in 1957,

playing mandolin and featured regularly as lead singer.

 

Williams played with Jimmy Martin during the height of the Sunny Mountain Boys’ career,

recording steadily through 1962 and at times competing for popularity with Elvis Presley.  Williams

is said to have helped shape Martin's sound.  He was present in the recording process for what

Martin has said were the "biggest selling records I've ever done."

 

Williams departed from Martin and the Sunny Mountain Boys in 1962.  He married Martin's half-

sister who told him that "he couldn't play bluegrass music and live for the Lord."   But, he did!

 

Our version is much faster than Williams’, and definitely has the “Holiness” in it!

 

Musicians:

 

Jack Sanbower          Banjo

Frank Solivan II          Mandolin

Ed Schaeffer              Vocal & Rhythm Guitar

Heather Twigg           Fiddle and Harmony

Kevin Conroy             Lead Guitar

Carolyn Kellock          Bass

 

This was recorded by Gantt Kushner at Gizmo Studios in Silver Spring.  This one is shot out of a

cannon, so be sure to wear protective gear.  To listen, click:

[dcab-l] Woody & Dad sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

Friends of Christmas Present:

 

This is the 12th year my son Woody and I have recorded a Christmas song.  Others

we've done in years past:

 

2009 "Star of Bethlehem"

2010 "Silent Night"

2011 "Silver Bells"

2012 "Blue Christmas"

2013 "White Christmas"

2014 "Winter Wonderland"

2015 "The Friendly Beasts"

2016 "Away in a Manger"

2017 “The First Noel”

2018 “Santa Clause is Coming to Town”

2019 “Holly Jolly Christmas”

 

For 2020 we've recorded "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.   Woody did the

mixing, played slide guitar (dobro), and sang tenor and baritone harmonies.  Dad sang

lead and played the guitar and bass.  I used an 09 Martin Marquis for guitar, and my

Gold Tone MicroBass for the low end.

 

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was written in 1943 by Hugh Martin and

Ralph Blane, and introduced into cinema by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical:

Meet Me in St. Louis. In the film, it is rendered in a sad portrayal by Garland holding

her little sister as they realize it's their last Christmas all together, before their unwanted

move to New York.

 

Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, rendering the song a joyful

Christmas standard now heard everywhere.

 

Please enjoy!   Woody and I wish everyone a happy and prosperous Holiday Season!

[dcab-l] Martin Guitar Christmas: Silent Night

Friends of Christmas Present:

 

Here's a new “All Mixed Up” Christmas song, this one from a live performance.

 

Musicians:

 

  Barry Wendell                 Rhythm Guitar and Harmony

  Ed Schaeffer                   Martin Guitar and Vocal

  Greg Nelson                   Bass

 

The parish priest of the little church of Arnsdorf, Austria wrote the words for this

beautiful Christmas song on the day before Christmas Eve in 1818.  Mice had

eaten the bellows of the church organ.  This priest and organist were sadly

troubled by the lack of music for Midnight Mass, but when the organist, Franz

Gruber, heard the words by Joseph Mohr, he set them to this lovely music now

so familiar to us all.

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Ed
