program:
SongCircle
program date:
Thu, 03/10/2011 Singer-songwriter John Wesley Harding, a.k.a. author Wesley Stace, stopped by to discuss his new novel, Charles Jessold, Considered as a Murderer, about an early-20th-century opera composer whose career is cut short by a scandalous murder-suicide. Wes performed the folk ballad "Little Musgrave," which figures prominently in the novel's plot. He also shared two new tunes from his forthcoming, made-in-Portland album.
Following the approx. 50 minute interview is a brief snippet of British folk legend Nic Jones' "The Flandyke Shore"; Wes paid tribute to Jones on the great 1999 album, Trad Arr Jones, on which he first performed "Little Musgrave".

Love
Hi Jeff,
I really enjoyed the Monkees retrospective last week.
Thanks also for the Love tribute. I saw them at a little inner city rock festival here in Portland (around 1970). It was held in the Civic Stadium (now Jeld-Wen Stadium), and was promoted by Jim Felt, who promoted many rock concerts in the day. Unfortunately, this even didn't work out too well for him. Tickets didn't sell like he anticipated, and he couldn't afford to pay all the bands. I think, in those days, a rock festival in a concrete stadium wouldn't fly. People wanted to be in a natural setting.
Word was that Bo Diddley pulled a gun on him, demanding his money. He was paid and put on a helluva show.
Love was the last band to play. Sadly, we had to leave in the middle of their set, as Daddy was waiting in the car for us. They were rocking it, as we left. I always thought "Little Red Book" was their biggest hit. Thanks for paying tribute to this important band.
-Cynthia
