As a service to our membership, I would like to establish a Performer & Band Register to send to these people so they can select lAMA-member artists. I will NOT be taking a commission, nor would I accept any fees for this service. If you are an lAMA member and like to register with this service, please supply the following information, either typed or scrupulously legible: Artist or band name Contact person Mailing address Daytime and evening telephone Short description of your type of acoustic music Mail this information back to me at P.O. Box 520521 Salt Lake City, UT 84152, or drop it off at any of the following: Acoustic Music, Local Music, Intermountain Guitar & Banjo in Salt Lake City. The deadline for this information is December 31, 1994. Your Acoustic pain-in-the-ass, -Tony Polychronis The folk process: alive and well Most of you realize that the folk process is still going on. Still, we do occasionally forget that it does rage on underneath our daily grind of pop pap. I have always had a strong interest in the continuing use of folk songs in the creation of variants of the original. For me this interest started when I was a lineman for Mt. Bell (now US West) in the Twin Falls area of Idaho. We used to ride out to the job in the mornings in the back of a line truck and sing the Lineman's Hymn. The words were: As I walked out in the streets of old Burley As I walked out in Burley one day. I spied a young lineman all wrapped in white linen, All wrapped in white linen and cold as the clay. I see by your scare strap that you are a lineman, These words he did say as I boldly walked by Come sn down beside me and here my sad story, I fell off a pole and I know I must die. 'Twas once up the poles I used to go dashing, Once up the poles I used to go gay. First up the sixties and then up the nineties, But I fell off an eighteen and I'm dyin' today. Oh, ring the phone softly and climb the pole slowly, Check your D rings when you go aloft, Keep your hooks sharpened and grease up your scare strap, 'Cause I'm tellin' you buddy, that ground ain't so soft. Get me six drunken linemen to carry my coffin, Six splicers helpers to mud in my grave, Take me to Kline that great white father, and let him mourn over his gallant young slave. Of course by now you can see that it is taken directly from The Streets of Laredo. It follows a line that goes back about 500 years to a song called The Unfortunate Young Rake, who was cut down in his prime by contracting a social disease. Many other songs such as The Gamblers Blues are related in this line. -Jim Sorrels Change of address? Be sure to notify us. When you don't, we won't know where to find you! Remember, the lAMA is a nonprofit organization, and has no extra money to spend needlessly. So please inform us of your address change. You can send it to our P.O. Box, or drop it off at Acoustic Music, Intermountain Guitar & Banjo, or Local Music. Thanks for your support. 10 Intermountain Acoustic Musician, October 1994 |
