Theme:   Jay Ansill- The Two Horizons  -  Origami - Flying Fish

Setlist: December 14, 2002: Highlighting Sing Out Winter 2003

Folk Music downloaded form the internet, and keeping up with forthcoming CDs:
1. John McCutcheon - George  - MP3 http://www.folkmusic.com/f_music.htm
Recordings on tap..."Hail to the Chief!"
After years of requests John has finally assembled a collection of his topical songs on a CD.
Hail to the Chief skewers personalities like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, John Ashcroft,
John Rocker and the linguistic acrobatics of George W. Bush. Along the way he manages to
point humorous fingers at the Kansas School Board's scientific curiosities, Clear Channel
Communication's censorship of peace songs and Virginia's new concealed weapons law.
Again, baseball shows up in a couple of songs and Wendell Berry's novel, "Jayber Crow"
even inspired a withering look at the New Economy.

Here's the CD for people who have longed for the straight ahead solo sound of John and an
instrument, his trademark humor and incisive observations. Available ONLY on this WWW
site and at live performances. Available January 6, 2003. http://www.folkmusic.com/f_music.htm

From Europe as an Import:

From SIng Out Winter 2003 Issue:

3.   Enoch Kent –  No More Cod on the Banks
I'm a Working Chap – Second Avenue
Founding member with Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger of the singers club.
“A life long idealist trying to make sense of inequity, terrorism and government war machines.”
The song: Canadian Government has failed to protect the cod fisheries on the banks of newfoundland form foreign fleets, international ships and uncaring trawler men. The results have robbed the world of a valuable food source and closed down whole fishing communities in Canada.

4    Linda Thompson – Dear Old Man of Mine
Fashionably Late – Rounder “
"Dear old Man of Mine" in which Linda comes to terms with her relationship with Richard

5.    Mundy-Turner –  Markham Main
Crooked House – Gypsy Records
"family starvation  verses the shame of being labeled a scab"

6    Aoife Clancy- Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
Silvery Moon – Appleseed Records
"Done with her daddy, the late Bobby Clancy of the clancy brothers. She thanks him forever for his influence and teachings. Having lost her father just this Fall, this adds a magic quality to the reminder to cherish the family.

7.    Tom Paxton- My Oklahoma Lullaby
Looking for the Moon - Appleseed
Several songs reflect on Tom's youth. My Oklahoma Lullaby harkends back to this days as a young man getting restless to see the world.

8.    Christine Lavin- For Carolyn/Something Beautiful
I Was in Love With A Difficult Man - Redwing
From the song: "I promise to be brave just tell me when it's time"

9.    Chuck Pyle – Affected by the Moon
Affected By The Moon – Bee n Flower
"effortless-sounding finger picking on acoustic guitar with subtle backing from bass, drums and violin."

10.    Buddy Miller – Wild Card
Midnight and Lonesome - High Tone
"a song Hank Williams forgot to write"

11.    Short Sisters- (Phillips) Rock. Salt and Nails
Love and Transportation – Black Socks Press
"one of the most honest songs of despair ever written.

12.    Cathy Fink Marcy Marxer- Here is the Chorus
Postcards – Community Music
Sing OUt says of the CD: "not only highly musical with superb performance values, but a lot of it is charming and fun"

13.    Antje Duvekot – Anna
Little Peppermints – Antje Duvekot
"Listening to Anjke brings me back to Greenwich Village decades ago. Occasionally everyone would leave the bar to go to the listening room, drawn by someone who shows that interesting flicker of difference and talent."

14.    Four Bitchin Babes- Bob Dylan's Poetry
Some assembly Required - Shanachie
"Fine voices that work well together on solid material deftly produced"

15.    Vance Gilbert- Waiting for Gilligan
One Through Fourteen – Louisiana Red Hot
"The thoughtful lyrics that document the days and the weeks keep the image of Gilliagn from turning the song humorous. There's a whole body involvemnt in the wait form someone who scoffs at criticism from those who don't recognize that they themselves are stranded"

16.    All About Buford – (J.Brooke) How Deep is Your Love
SuperCar – All About Buford
"the result is so unique you'll be running for liner notes to confirm authors such as....Patty Larkin and Janahta Brooke"

17.    Si Kahn- Threads – My Old Times
Threads - Double Time
"Si Kahn wears his heart on his sleeve, that heart is with the working person."

18.    Ellis Paul- Ballad of Chris McCanless
Speed of Trees - Philo
"Paul fictionalizes meeting a modern vagabond in 'The Ballad of Chris McCandless'. Chris was found dead after 116 days of searching for spiritual and physical challenges in Alaska. Admirable? Foolish?

19. Lucinda Williams - (Brown) Lately
Driftless – Red House
Having these women cover Brown's work exemplifies a writing variety that is less evident when emerging from the same voice."

20. Scott Ainslie - (Johnson) Phonograph Blues
You Better Lie Down - Cattail
I don't understand why Scott isn't one of the best-known blues interpreters. His style is both authentic "to the source as well as highly entertaining to the blues neophyte and surly deserves wider recognition."

21.   Uncle Earl – Charlie He's a Good Ol Man
She Went Upstairs – Detroit Radio Co.
“offers traditional, gospel and standard bluegrass fare”
“musical skills counter the morbid topics of death and more death”.
