I curse myself annually for never going to hear him when he was alive. I thought "oh, he always comes around here, why hurry." He died in a plane fire in Cincinnati in the 80's. On a related note, Bill Domler of WWUH in Hartford was an especially fan of Stan's and had a marvelous live recording of Barrett's Privateers. He used to play Stan Rogers extensively on his Friday morning show. (I noted that BIll hosted Richard at his "speediest printer in town" concerts in '92, '93 and maybe even '94, and probably had great recordings of Richard on file.) It sounds like a great match to me.

The thought of Richard, 22 years down the line, turning up in a remake of Battlefield Earth was almost too much to bear! :-) Dave. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 May 2001 14:31:23 -0400 (EDT) From: jac Subject: [RS] Mary Coppin Question Hi folks. I was contacted by Mary Coppin to peform at my house concert series. I think Tracy Grammer gave her my info. I have never heard of her, but on her website I see she's played Kerville and Falcon Ridge and won a few awards. Her Mp3s sound pretty nice. Would anyone here be willing to review her performance style for me? Off-line is fine.

Reflecting the late show and his relative anonymity in San Diego, there were perhaps only 30 people in the audience at this small club, but most people seemed to be very familiar with Richard's music and appreciative of the performance. I'd only seen Richard "live" once before, last September in a large church in Lexington, MA, where he played with Rad the piano man. Last night's show was solo, but more intimate, and provided much more of an opportunity to see and appreciate Richard's intricate guitar work. He commented that it was quite a switch from playing with the band, which he has been doing lately. I gather the California shows this week are all solo. He said he's out here because his sister is getting married in Marin County on Saturday (and no, he's not performing at the wedding, but he said "most of my family" will be attending the Berkeley show on Thursday night and he joked, "it's making me extremely nervous.") Richard said of San Diego "I love this town, why haven't I been here more?" He came in Monday and stayed with Jimmy and Linda Duke, who hosted them for a house concert last July but weren't able to put on the show at their place this year because they had John Stewart performing this past Sunday (in a concert that was recorded for possible future release). While getting to San Diego, Richard's Martin got knocked around by the airline and he said it had a slightly cracked neck, but it seemed to hold up pretty well, especially given that he retuned it often as his tunings changed for different songs. The sound at this club is good but not great, which was reflected in the first few songs. Somewhere, though, the sound improved and the magic really kicked in. For me the high point of the show was Reunion Hill, which Richard played in a very slow, meditative style that especially suits the song. Other high points included "Fishing" (especially fitting in a city so near the Mexican border); "The Ballad of Mary Magdalene," which really impressed the two friends I'd brought along to the show who were not familiar with Richard's music; "Sandy" (introduced with a long funny tale about confusing it with "Mandy," a subject I assume has been covered before I got on the list so I won't repeat the story); "Transit" (a terrific closer and so much better in concert than on the CD, IMO); and "Wisteria," as always very moving. Other songs in the show (I may have missed a couple) included: Kenworth of My Dreams; Pain/Spain; Next Best Western; Are You Happy Now; The Courier; A Summer Wind, A Cotton Dress; Arrowhead; Abuelita; Confession; and You Stay Here. What a pleasure to see Richard and hear him play this wonderful music! - -- Greg ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 May 2001 21:59:16 -0400 From: Howie Subject: Re: [RS] Richard's Privateers At 07:39 AM 5/9/2001 -0400, edward wrote: >I've often thought that Richard do a great job covering Stan Rogers music. >Has anyone heard any comments from RS on Stan, good or bad?

Somewhat later I discovered he had died in 1983. Go to www.stanrogers.net to find out more about this wonderful singer/songwriter.

Any Stan fans > >on the list? Absolutely! I saw him 2-3 times in Philly before he died and he was phenomenal. At one show, Garnet irrevocably added to my lexicon when he picked up a 7-oz. Miller and called it a "baby beer." I've seen Garnet a couple times, not nearly as many as I'd like. He's wonderful, as well.
