Well, no...he died in 1946. I've got a lot of his work on tapes. Most
recorded locally from the WUNC-FM (Chapel Hill, counselor) Friday,
Saturday and Sunday editions of Back Porch Music, with which, Mme. (or
Mlle. - sorry) Fiddler will be well acquainted.

If you've never experienced hearing Mr. Pucket decry "There's an old
rusty wagon that's left to rot away........" ....why, life's done you a
nasty turn, Sir.


Tom

Now, that's just cold blooded...
SEG

Snakefiddler- although I have been given a nickname that would suggest so,
I, unlike Mr. Dietz, am not cold blooded

yeah, that high lonesome sound, borrowed from bill monroe, was the
first
of my musical memories, just after the end of ww2. i remember listening
to
babe ruth growl his thanks through a cancer filled, alchohol racked
body,
in
yankee stadium, out into a better medium than the internet will ever
be...
and then, later that evening, in the big house in gold hill, nc, hearing
ernest tubb defy that bitch by singing "walking the floor over you..."


If you're gonna ET into it, the only appropriate piece would be "Driving
Nails in my Coffin."

Right you are sir, and have been homesick for said program. Made it a point
to listen while I was in Chapel Hill over Thanksgiving, and had the
forethought to record some of it off of the radio before moving out of town.

Snakefiddler- Fiona Ritchie anyone?

I have absolutely, no talent in producing/reproducing anything
musical. I *do*, however, have a great appreciation for those who do.
My intrinsic filter/rule set accommodates a wide range of styles and
genre's and I'm certain that I'd be appreciative of your efforts.

A loaf of bread, a bottle of Stoli..a drink and we travel on.....(with
all due apologies...)

Burke County, NC in the Early Spring..at Greg LaFoon's Optimistic Park.
I'll cook and bring the Stoli.

Deal?

I'm sure that you know that the author of this, –Tommy Thompson, 1976:

Just across the blue ridge, where the high meadows lay
And the galax spreads through the new mown hay,
There’s a rusty iron bridge, cross a shady ravine
Where the hard road ends and turns to clay.
With a suitcase in his hand there the lonesome boy stands,
Gazing at the river sliding by beneath his feet,
But the dark water springs from the black rocks and flows
Out of sight where the twisted laurel grows.

Past the coal-tipple towns in the cold December rain,
Into Charleston runs the New River train.
Where the hillsides are brown, and the broad valley’s stained
By a hundred thousand lives of work and pain.
In a tar-paper shack out of town across the track,
Stands an old used-up man trying to call something back,
But his old memories fade like the city in the haze
And his days have flowed together like the rain.

And the dark water springs from the black rocks and flows
Out of sight where the twisted laurel grows.


Died last January.

I'm sure that many (most?) of the recipients of this newsgroup have
little or no interest in this thread. The "Country" or "Folk" or
"Appalachian" flavor/sense of the music genre espoused herein is
indigenous to the same areas where native trout abound and where those
of us who appreciate the fish and the cultural history find a place of
heritage and an opportunity to both "plug-in" and continue appreciation
of the heritage. To those who are bored, I apologize.

Eloquent. Marvelous description of the meaning of fly fishing. Reminds me of
