Hello, just wondering if anyone else is into the music of fellow Canadian artist Buffy Sainte-Marie? If you are, and you want to discuss her and the music, there's a YahooGroups e-mail discussion group. I won't post it here, because I don't want spam bots to get the address and hurt the yahoo subscription servers with messages, but if you are a fan, I'd just like to know, and I'll get you the info. Anyway, I can give a web site of www.Mouthbow.org (http://www.Mouthbow.org)
for you to look at. Just thought you'd be interested in it possibly.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew

Hello, I don't get the joke, if you mean it as one. Matthew

I am sorry Matthew, it was a simple question. Buffy Sainte-Marie married an actor by name of Rip Torn. I am asking 'is she still married to him'?

Matthew, I think I owe you an apology. I have just researched Rip Torn (real name Elmore Ruel Torn) and nowhere could I find any suggestion that he married BS-M, somewhere in a far recess of my mind I seem to recall reading somewhere that they were married.
I must have misread.
I apologise unreservedly.
As an aside, Rip Torn was in 'The Larry Sanders Show'
With regard to your original question.
I know very little of Buffy Sainte-Marie's work other than 'Universal Soldier' covered over here by 'Donovan' he had a sizable hit with it. Also 'Until It's Time For You To Go'which I have on a 'Willie Nelson' CD. Both good songs.

Hello, I don't know any info about her marriage, but the name sounds strange though. I thought about it, and I suppose it won't hurt to post the subscription address to get into the group if you want to ask this question. Send a blank e-mail to
buffysaintemarie-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
and you'll be on your way to subscribing to the group.
Thanks a lot.

I don't see where Buffy Ste Marie was ever married to Rip Torn. She *was* married to the late Jack Nitzsche, with whom she wrote "Up Where We Belong" from An Officer and a Gentleman.

Rip Torn has been married to actress Ann Wedgworth and the late Geraldine Page.

Hello, here's a web site that tells a good biography of Buffy. She was not married to either of the two people mentioned here. http://www.nativepubs.com/nativepubs/Apps/bios/0106Sainte-MarieBuffy.asp
Thanks a lot.

From The Wire, issue 175, September '98.

Included in the article "100 Records That Set the World on Fire (While No One Was Listening)"

Buffy Sainte-Marie
Illuminations
(Vanguard 1969)

If Dylan going in 1965 turned folk purists into baying hyenas, Buffy Sainte-Marie going electronic would have turned them into kill-hungry wolves, if they weren't already a spent force. Film maker/archivist Harry Smith had established a precedent for folk-avant garde-shamanic pow wows, but but Cree-born Sainte-Marie crosswired them, drawing occult aspects out of her folk and Native American sources with electronics. Synthesized from her guitar and voice, already rich in natural reverb, Michael Czajkowski's score hallucinates ghost shadows on "Poppies," edges the supernatural ballad "The Vampire" with eerieness, and hatches a chorus of chimeras out of her setting of Leonard Cohen's "God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot." When Coil picked up on "God...", the song linked them into a chain leading to Sesame Street, where Sainte-Marie roosted for five years. Occult enough?
-Steve Barker

The Wire is my favorite magazine, but it leaves a lot for the reader to figure out. Either that, or those indie intellectual elitests just assume that we're all as well-versed in music as they are.
