Hi Dirk

How are you doing there?
I'm feeling bad these days.
One of my best friends got leukemia 3 months after her wedding.
And that was very short after she become pregnant.
Then she should give up her baby and got bone marrow transplant 3 times(!!) from her sister.
But her condition getting worse and worse day by day.
Now she is bedridden and unable to communicate.

BUT I want to believe in MIRACLES!!!

Sorry about my poor English

Lizardson

Oops! sorry to be late, Dirk!!

Hi, Dirk!!
How are you doing lately?
Now I feel a bit down because I couldn't go 20th FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL!!!!!
Yes, MUSIC is my life just like you!!
Wonder if I can go FUJI ROCK with you... and see Shibusashirazu orchestra!!!


To visitors of THTM blog:
I'm so sorry that I can't keep updating this blog.
It's so busy days than I had expected.
I'll re-restart someday!!

And sorry about my poor English.

Dirk

It's 8 years, Dirk!!
I have married this year and moved to a new place (of course with the painting your father drew). And I placed the painting in our family room, so sometimes I feel like living with your family :)

David Munrow

 & The Early Music Consort Of London
 "Renaissance Suite" (1974)


Originaly posted by Reynardine:
http://time-has-told-me.blogspot.jp/2009/01/renaissance-suite.html

David Munrow was perhaps the greatest exponent of early music before his untimely death in 1976. He will be familiar to folk fans from his work in the late 60s with Young Tradition, Shirley & Dolly Collins and John Renbourn.

For some reason this album seems to have never been released on CD - perhaps because it is a soundtrack to an obscure French film about bicycle racing rather than an award winning television serial. This though, really deserves re-release. Here you'll find dance tunes from Praetorius and Susato along with original compositions by David Munrow.

Tracks:
01. Triumph (Hans Hassler: Intrada VI & VII from "Lustgarden")
02. They're off (Bransle double de Poictou & Bransle gay double from Praetorius' "Terpsichore")
03. Training (David Munrow: Bagpipe solo I & Bagpipe solo II)
04. On the Road (Basse danse "Dont vient cela" from Tielmann Susato's "Dancerye")
05. Complaint ("O death rock me asleep" Anon., 16th c.)
06. In the Mountains (Bransle simple from Praetorius' "Terpsichore")
07. The six days of Grenoble (David Munrow)
08. The Dream ("Tristan's Lament" Anon., Italy, 14th c.)
09. The Race Against Oneself (David Munrow)
10. Why Suffer ("Consonanze Stravaganti" Giovanni Macque)
11. Effort (Basse galliarde from Pierre Phalèse "Premier livre de Danseries" & Galliarde from Praetorius' "Terpsichore")
12. End Music (Variations on "La folie d'Espagne", Corelli & Division flúte (1706))

The Songwainers

"The Songwainers" (1971 Argo ZFB31)

http://time-has-told-me.blogspot.jp/2009/01/songwainers.html

This I believe was the only recording of the Songwainers from Cheltenham - but what a classic. Their setting of John Barleycorn (to the tune of We Plough The Fields And Scatter) has now entered the tradition. One of the finest harmony groups of the 60s and 70s.

Singers
Ken Langsbury: Baritone
Ron Taylor: Tenor
Dave Stephenson: Bass

Sorry the quality is not up to my usual but the songs really do make up for it.

Son of Dave Stephenson (bass singer) said at original post:
Adrian Stephenson said...
Given that Dave Stephenson was my dad - and I remember the Songwainers rehearsing in my front room (above my bedroom) - with itinerant guests like John & Beverly Martyn, Roy Harper, Maddy & Steeleye Span, Ashley Hutchings - I thank y'all for the comments. We have burned the LP to CD (if you're interested) Contact justacog@astephenson.org

I remember dad (Dave) joking that the Albion Band had nicked one of their songs - including the 'bum' notes they played at the time. Ironically, as I got older I realised that I really liked folk / folk rock. Heaven forbid I'd ever admit this to dad, tho.!

No need for me to listen - see the man on the cover, second from the left? That's my late grandfather. Great to see someone who knows of the band.

Dave Ellis

"BBC Live 1973"


Dave Ellis is an influential English folk guitarist, singer and composer whose music is extremely difficult to categorise, due to its unique diversity and combination of styles. His early instrumental influences include guitarist Bert Jansch. Ellis' first vinyl album called "Album" (1973) won strong critical praise and is regarded as a classic, but the opportunity presented by acclaimed national TV and radio appearances (on such now-legendary TV shows as The Old Grey Whistle Test) was inexplicably never seized by his record company, at a time when the solo acoustic guitarist/singer-songwriter needed all the promotion they could get, no matter how good the material or performances. As result of the lack of promotional follow-up at that time, Ellis's guitar prowess has remained one of the best kept secrets of the guitar fraternity, influencing such successful artists as Mark Knopfler.

Only four songs available but this is must for fans of his studio album.

1. Going Down Slow
2. Can You Tell Me
3. Silly Me Silly You
4. Jitterbug

Colin Thompson

"Three Knights" 1980

Originaly posted by FolkPhile:
http://time-has-told-me.blogspot.jp/2007/05/presented-by-folkphile-6.html

Here is a UK folk LP. Colin Thompson is very talented both as a singer and as a guitarist. The arrangements are rather unusual.

Comments from his current website:

"Karen & Colin from North Lincolnshire are continuing to gain a reputation as excellent performers. Originally a classical guitarist, Colin has combined elements of classical and traditional styles and the distinctive rhythms and decorations of Scottish pipe tunes which he has adapted for guitar. Karen has explored a range of musical genres from choral singing to punk rock.
Together they have created a refreshing sound, setting poetry to self-composed tunes, finding little known traditional ballads and performing well-known songs in an individual manner. This provides an interesting and varied repertoire of love songs, wicked tales, pirate ballads and much more, all underpinned by the couple's obvious love of their music and good-humoured banter."

01. The Gypsy Laddie
02. Brisk Young Lively Lad
03. Bonny Lass Amongst the Heather
04. The Three Knights
05. Farewell to Whisky
06. Linden Lea
07. Lord Thomas and Fair Eleanor
08. Oakham Poachers
09. John of Hazelgreen
10. Banstead Downs (Georgie)
11. The Parting Glass

More Topic vinyl rips, this time a southerly jaunt from the region of the UK previously featured in many of my posts, this time the MIDLANDS in this "Wide Midlands" album from 1971.

This has some really good examples of the industrial UK midlands dialect in both the spoken tracks and the vocals.

Hi,

Ive been a longtime follower of Time Has Told Me, and besides really loving the music Ive been exposed to there over the years, you all posted a link to this album I released in 2009 and it was such a huge help in getting people to come and hear it (http://time-has-told-me.blogspot.com/2009/09/still-light.html).

"Rosarium" 
(Oct. 9th 2012)

Im writing because Ive just about released a new record, and I think some followers of Time Has Told Me might enjoy it, so I was hoping there's a chance you'd be kind enough to share some of this through the blog to your readers?




Here is info about the upcoming record:

And here is a mini-site that was just published which has three full tracks from the album set to short films made especially for this by a local Denver artist:

Thank you so much in advance if you would share, please let me know if I can get you anything else? Also, if any of you would like a full digital copy of the record to hear let me know and Im happy to share!

Thank you,

Kirill

The Khalsa String Band - Sing Of Bliss

Gonzo said...

I was so impressed by this girl's voice, I had to do a little clean-up on the vinyl rip.

The vocals are a little back in the mix for my liking, so I have done TWO copies, one with a little extra reverb in the vocal spectrum, see what you think..

The former "Sat Peter Singh" here, now living in Portland, ME and still making music (www.peteralexander.us). I just found four copies of the LP in my basement, and one of them appears to be in near perfect condition. I'll make mp3 files and post them on my own website in the near future. Glad that these songs are still in circulation! --Peter Alexander 01/01/11

January 1, 2011

I just found out about this link from my friend, Peter Alexander. We recorded this album in NYC in the summer of '73, fueled by Häagen-Dazs ice cream (there were only two flavors then, carob and honey) and an utterly uncomplicated love affair with God. It was a magical time.

Having now listened to the Song of Bliss for the first time in over 25 years (that's me playing the piano, a gorgeous 9 foot Steinway in a very cool Manhattan recording studio), I'm once again swept away by Singh Kaur's voice. It's a good voice, but even more, there was something so pure and amazing that came out of her when she sang, you could feel angels swarming just to get close. Wow...

Here's another link Peter sent me to the same track. This one has a little less flutter and a little more rumble: http://waxidermy.com/images/The_Khalsa_String_Band-Sing_Of_Bliss.mp3

So Peter, thank you for sharing such a special gift - a great start to what feels like will be a wonderful year.
