Ok, so there are numerous stories i could tell you about chuck brodsky. where shall i start??? hmm....first of all, he's a friend of a friend. Hey wait, 'friend's dad? are you on this list?????' hmmm....ANyway.. Very cool guy apparently. His song sare great, i hate to add the cliche, but he's a bit of a bob dylan, in a jewish balladeer sort of way. I have two of his songs, but that's all. One abotu being a jew at christmas and the other claled 'bill and annie', which is abotu a love triangle and the values of marriage. Ok, so the funny bit? Well...me and this friend were at the cmabridge folk fest during the summer. Over here, we have this radio two dj (plays lucy a lot) called bob harris. He plays all the right music every saturday night. So, the BBc had a stage at the festival and we'd seen him hanging around. Next thing we know we're in the rcord tent wondering whether or not we should go say hi to him. My friend dared me to go over and ask him to play more chuck. so i did. I prowled up behing this guy and said, 'you know? you should check out chuck bordsky'. The guy just sort of stared. and then grinned widly, going 'oh, you're a fan are you?' . it took a while to register that he was not in fact, the dj, just some poor guy. I was ver, very embarressed and i just kinda walked away hoping he'd think i was some silly kid who'd been in the beer tent. Oops. Thing is, it seemed that i ran into him all over the festval after that... SO, there's a moral ; everybody should check out chuck jenny* ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Dec 1999 14:18:24 -0500 From: "Tom Neff" Subject: [lucy-list] Re: Chuck Brodsky Maybe his best baseball song is "The Ballad of Eddie Klepp," about the first guy to make the OTHER journey when baseball was desegregated. Chuck is a terrific guy. Well worth going to hear when he travels your way. http://songs.com/cb/ - -----Original Message----- > Wasn't very familiar with opener Chuck Brodsky before but enjoyed his set. >He played a lot of songs about baseball or baseball people.
