Re: HATCH SHOW PRINT ==Re: bluegrass whatever
P2-ers whom have stayed at my place will testify that I have a fondness for hatch Show posters, as my flat is graced with them, including the famous "Roy Acuff For Governor" poster. Whenever in Nashville, it's one of my prime stops. Is there a web site for the place? Stick np-Hank Williams Jr. -Can't You See
Re: Der Bingle
I'm really glad you brought this up because just last week I was listening to Merle's Jimmie Rodgers tribute LP, and it occurred to me that Merle's phrasing kinda sounded like the Binger. So, I suppose the next question is: Has Merle ever covered a song associated with Crosby? Pennies from Heaven is a song the Hag does. Its on his "Out Among the Stars" LP. He also does the song is concert some. I think Crosby did this one. Stick
Re: David Allen Coe
Query: What is the song David Allen Coe is most knows for? Thank you. JNS It think "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" is one that is pretty well know although it was written by Steve Goodman. Some of the songs Coe wrote- "Take this Job and Shove it" and "Would you lay with me (in a field of stone)" Those I think are some of the most prominent. Stick

Re: Ralph Stanley on TNN
This actually just happened, one of those "Life and Times" deals, and I'm sorry I didn't check the dang Rockontv.com site and memo P2 on it (i missed the first 15 minutes of it myself). It might be broadcast again between midnight and 2 am again EST. Actually might be midnight. I sorta liked the show myself. Of course anything bluegrass gets my attention. Stick
Re: Steve/Del in Chicago, was == Re: Better Live?
Steve looked very dapper in his gray button-down wool vest and plaid cap. Looks like the McCoury's are affecting Steve's grooming habits ;-)) Now in the Borders show at D.C. Steve was in a Black T-shirt with the white letters "The Beatles". Sorta neat. Stick
Charles Sawtell-RIP
From Bluegrass-L very sad. I am very sad to inform you that Charles Sawtelle died Saturday night at 8pm Pacific Time. He had been in Intensive Care for the last month at City of Hope Hospital in Duarte, California. His liver and kidneys finally couldn't handle the stress of all the medication and graft vs. host disease, a result of his bone marrow transplant of two years ago. He had been unconscious for over three weeks, with family and dear friends there to help any way they could. In the last few days he had been declining, and it was understood that he wouldn't last long. I don't know any further details at this point, such as funeral or memorial arrangements, but will post them as I know them. It's hard to put into words the loss I feel. Charles was much more than a great musician. He was a dear friend to many, he was an inspiration and a mentor, he was funny and a good guy to be around, and he did a great job living with dignity in the face of complicated and debilitating illness, starting with the leukemia five years ago. A very generous person, a quite unique person. It has been amazing to see the level of care and concern expressed by so many people for him. He touched a lot of people, and he will continue to touch us even now that he's gone. Rest in peace Charles my friend. Pete Wernick Stick-I need to play some Hot Rize
Steve Earle and Del McCoury Band-D.C.
Well folks if Steve Earl and the Del McCoury Band come anywhere close drop everything and see their show. Two of the best days and nights of music I've seen in a long time. Got to see them 2 nights at the Birchmere and a show at the Borders Bookstore in downtown DC on Thursday afternoon. From the tight band of Del McCoury's group to Steve Earle's rasspy singing they are just plain having fun. Both nights played pretty much "The Mountain" CD to Steve doing a solo set and all different arrangments of Steve and the Band. One of the highlights was that they did a Bill Monroe song "Lonesome Road Blues", and Steve said it was so hard to play in Nashville because the great Mac Wisman was sitting front row and watching the show at the Station Inn. At all three shows you had opportunities to get signitures in which they signed and chatted alittle about the shows. Great couple of days. Met one new P2er at Borders, so there are more everyday. By the way the are on Connan O'bien show tonight NBC. Stick
[Fwd: Pray for George!]
I checked this at country.com too. Friday 10PM EST Just heard a bit of bad news over the radio here in Nashville -- George Jones has contracted pneumonia and has been placed back on the respirator. Guess he'll be residing here at Vanderbilt for a while longer. Let's hope he'll pull through and live to sing about it!
SUV my first and last
Ok Don, sorry but have to say this. I got hit by a SUV, 4 broken ribs and a busted kidney. I was in though a Chevy Blazer, which got hit broadsided, and that Blazer saved my life. Took one hell of a hit. Guess what I'm buying next.. Blazer. I'm just a little scared when I see a SUV coming at me anywhere, but it the driver that's the problem, not the SUV. Twang content-I too am going to the Birchemere to see Del and the boys. Stick
Jones update 8pm
After dealing with car wreck injuries for over a year, Please wear your seat belt. Singer George Jones Hurt in Crash By JIM PATTERSON Associated Press Writer FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) -- Country singer George Jones was in critical condition Saturday after he smashed his sport-utility vehicle into a bridge near his home while talking on a cell phone to his stepdaughter. Jones, 67, lost control of his Lexus while rounding a curve on Highway 96, a curvy heavily-traveled two-lane road, and hit the bridge abutment, state police said. Police said Jones was not wearing a seat belt. It took rescuers about two hours to free him following the 1:30 p.m. accident, and he was taken by helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in nearby Nashville. Doctors said Jones suffered a collapsed lung, ruptured his liver and had internal bleeding. He was placed on a ventilator to aid in his breathing. Jones was unconscious when he was brought in and doctors gave him medication to keep him that way, Dr. John Morris said. ``The body responds to this kind of injury much better if we can control the pain and the blood pressure and so on,'' he said. Morris offered no prognosis but said he expects Jones will remain in critical condition for at least one or two days. Jones, famous for hits like ``He Stopped Loving Her Today'' and ``The Race is On,'' is generally considered one of the finest country singers ever. He was married for six years to the late singer Tammy Wynette. The pair were known as ``The King and Queen of Country Music'' in the 1970s. Since 1983, Jones has been married to Nancy Jones, his manager. Nicknamed ``Possum,'' Jones was born near Saratoga, Texas. At 16, he landed his first job as a musician, being paid $17.50 a week to play guitar with a husband-and-wife singing team in bars and dance halls. After two years in the Marines, he returned to Texas and began a recording career that has spanned 40 years, making him one of country music's top stars. Jones has battled alcoholism and drug abuse during much of his life. He was given the nickname ``No Show Jones'' for failing to appear at so many concerts and later recorded a song by that name. Jones was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992. That same year, country fans and the media voted ``He Stopped Loving Her Today'' the most popular country song of all time. The 1980 weeper was about a man whose love for a woman died only when he did. Jones has been working on a new album for Asylum Records and is also host of ``The George Jones Show'' on television's The Nashville Network. Evelyn Shriver, head of Asylum Records, Jones' record label, said Jones called her from his car five or 10 minutes before the crash. He was listening to seven new songs he had recorded and was so excited he wanted to play them for her over the phone but could not get his cassette player to work, she said. She said his stepdaughter, Adina Estes, later told her she was talking to him when the crash happened. He's pulled through before, I hope he gets through this. Stick
Re: Is It or Is It Not?
Phil Connor wrote: There has been some interesting dialogue on BGRASS-L about Steve Earle, the new CD, and what bluegrass 'is' and what bluegrass 'is not'. Yeah and I think some of them miss the point on BGRASS-L, its not what is the music but how you enjoy the music. I think any kind of music you have die in the wool fans of such music, jazz, bluegrass, folk, ect and (they) will say what is and what isn't. If a banjo isn't in the mix, alot would say that is not bluegrass. With Steve Earle brings a whole new audience to bluegrass and anything that broadens and helps the artist in bluegrass is a plus. Not to say one person is on his or her so called album or CD. If it sounds good to you then enjoy it the way you like and let the so called (experts) in the field of music have there say. There is alot of music I don't particulary care for but that does not give me the right to put down that form of music. I think anyone that puts it heart and soul into what there doing is key to any thing done right. Music, work, hobbies, ect. In music I think you really can tell what is real amd what is not. To many damm people say what is this type and that, the hell with them and enjoy what you like and maybe you can pass some of the type of or artist along. Hell I think that's what P2 is all about. Different music from all kinds of different people. I'm glad I got that off my chest. Stick
Re: Did you see Lucinda on SNL???/ Gillian David on the Opry
Well, anyway, even though I did not see Lucinda on TV last night, I DID see Gillian Welch and David Rawlings with Emmylou Harris on the televised portion of the Grand Ole Opry. Wow! By the way, HNC guy Daryle Singletary played a song that was reaaallly country. Porter got very excited about that. And the other day on TNN, tall hat guy Trace Adkins played several actual country songs. What's happening? Well over the last three weeks at the Opry they have had a great lineup of traditional and bluegrass groups. Here are just the some that have played in the last 3 weeks. Emmylou Harris- now 2 weeks in a row with last night Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Patty Loveless, Vince G., Jeff White, Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn, Porter Wagoner, Jim and Jesse, Joe Stampley, Osborne Brothers, Heather Myles, Rodney Crowell, and many others that have made the last 3 weeks very enjoyable. The best thing is that with a C band satellite dish you can pick up this show in stereo without the AM static. Stick
