I have a 1967 recording of Doc playing in a livingroom. Was it your home or his? Roy has the reel to reel.

Awesome you tuned in. I’m going to try to rededicate myself
to it (the blog) if I can keep my hard-on up. I’ve got
a friend, sort of a surrogate program sponsor and SEO
specialist-I think I mentioned this to you-and he’s
supposed to be helping me develop it into something
people might actually be attracted to. It would be nice, because
it would goose me to write more, but I won’t hold my breath.
Thanks.

I don’t know about Ralph as of today. But someone who does
is flutist Bobbi Humphrey. She has a website and, I’m sure, an
contact address.

Thanks for reading my blob. Pass it on if you feel like it.
I might have a couple more Ralph stories if you’re interested.

What a swinging tune! Not what I’d expect as being tagged “doc watson” but then what do I know? Nicely played!

..gosh, thought i’d done and left a reply on this one.
Al, the Metro Media reference to Bobby Sherman, was his then new label Metromedia Records.

And I love the Jimmie Rogers material!

Comment on RY COODER WATCH: Where Have All the Followers Gone? by May

Al, I’ve just finished sending a link from this site to Tom Ewing, who’s looking for first-hand information to complete a new biography of Bill Monroe. That done, I’ve come back to check out some of your comments about Ry Cooder — who briefly made it clear to me that he’s reluctant to let Ewing ask him a few questions about his brief stint playing banjo for Bill Monroe.

What you say here about Ry being leary of the media fits this very recent exchange. I’ve been out of touch with Ry since the late sixties, but I have followed his music pretty closely and I have deep respect for the way he has used his talents over the last forty-odd years. I think it’s pretty sad that even Ry feels abused by the media. It’s almost as if achieving artistic success in the music world entails a heavy price.

Maybe I’m better off without “success” in those terms. You and I certainly know about lots of folks who have paid heavy prices for it. Nothing new in this thought, but it’s worth remembering.
