A Lark Ascending Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I always think of the way the English use the term "amusing," not falling down funny but amusing in an enjoyable, fun, understated manner -- if that makes sense. John Banville has written about the use of amusing in some of his novels (yes, I know he's not English, but he's U.K.). So, it would be amusing music they make. Yes, that would work. If you do decide to investigate the Hatfield/National Health records, make sure you go for the recent Esoteric remasters - much, much better than the earlier CD versions that are very flat and quite muddy. And the Caravan's are available in remasters from Decca from about 4 years ago. Again, very good sounds with lots of extra stuff, some of it very good indeed. Quote
mikelz777 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 I haven't given up on jazz but I've been listening to a lot of country lately and had to pick up: The Don Rich Anthology Don Rich was an excellent guitar player and fiddler who played a big role in developing the Bakersfield sound as part of Buck Owens' Buckaroos. Buck Owens himself said that Rich was as much part of his music as he (Owens) was. Good stuff. Quote

Buck Owens himself said that Rich was as much part of his music as he (Owens) was. Good stuff. I remember reading that Buck Owens fell apart emotionally and lost a lot of his interest in music when Don Rich died. On Don Rich’s death from the booklet in “The Buck Owens Collection 1959-1990”. “Buck was shattered. The alter-ego, the musical son who had blossomed under his wing, whom he depended on both in the studio and onstage, was suddenly gone. A huge void remained in Buck’s life and music and in his soul. ‘After Don’s death, I don’t think I ever quite recovered. I had such a long period of shock and such a long period of being depressed and confused and hurt that I couldn’t talk about Don much for at least four, five, or six years.’ ‘Don was incredibly important as a human being. He was as much part of the music as I was. He seemed able to read my mind. And a lotta times I would try to fool him on the stage; we had our little thing goin’. He was uncanny about catchin’ me so he could sing with me. There was never anything like that happened to me before or since. That’s the way I’ll always remember him. I finally got at peace with that.’” Rich was killed in a motorcycle accident and apparently, Buck had been trying to persuade him to stop riding a motorcycle for years and didn't want him to take his motorcycle out the very day of his death.
