Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
Terry Whelan & Gordon Lightfoot 2 very young lads. You know they had a good sound. Glad it was a fun way for you DSR to start your day. :)

Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
Nice to hear this for the 1st time.
|
Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
Thanks! I enjoyed hearing these songs very much. The Fast Freight song reminds me of the time I rode on a freight train from Spooner to Superior when I was 18. It was a car with a big open door on the side. The car rocked. It was a little scarey, but later I had some coffee up toward the front of the train.
The Dark As A Dungeon song reminds me of one of my best friends whose husband works in a coal mine. |
Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
The first time I heard "Dark As A Dungeon" it was by Johnny Cash, great song. :)
|
Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
Yes, it is a great song. I didn't know it was by Johnny Cash. I would like to read that book he mentioned reading in The Man Comes Around booklet called Dreaming of the Queen. I like what he dreamt about Queen Elizabeth ll saying that he was like a thorn tree in a whirlwind.

Hey Patti,
Johnny Cash did it, but it was written by Merle Travis. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merle_Travis |

Up until tonight(1/30/08)I had never heard this before.Whats really interesting to me is:
throughout the years,Gordon's basic style/sound really hasn't changed all that much. If anyone knows where I can get copies of The Two Tones albums,please let me know. patybear |

As an aside, in a live performance in the mid 1970s (Toronto Rolling Thunder, where Gord also performed), Dylan sings Dark As A Dungeon and introduces it by saying it is dedicated to Gord. An interesting comment, isn't it? Dylan too considers that song to be something special relative to Gord. Two Tones was released on two record labels, Chateau and Canatel. You will see copies auctioned at Ebay from time to time. And, sad to say, you will also see home-made CDRs available there as well. |

not sure if it's on youtube but somewhere in the basement archive i have merle travis performing dark as a dungeon and a bunch of his other works plus him chatting about and demonstrating his influential guitar technique i agree, val, echos of heroes - i also agree with pattibear, when the term 'style' used loosely jjo, not to be anal (this site's never lacked this:) ), but i think it's spelled Whelan, RIP cheers jj |
Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
this is the type of footage i spoke of, humbling |
Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
Terry Whelan, sorry for that mistake, and it probably wont be my last one. :)

Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
In the Intimate & Interactive show on Much More Music, when Gord was ask who did he like as a guitar player, he mentioned Merle Travis & Red Shea. Also said there was a lot of good music coming from eastern Canada. Pretty smart guy that Gord eh ! :)

Re: The Two Tones at the Village Corner.
