He has a musical son who is more famous than he is, a musical daughter who is almost as famous as he is, and the unfortunate distinction of bearing one of the most ostentatous, blue-blooded names in all of music history.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1164812738532466682006-11-29T10:05:00.000-05:002006-11-29T10:05:00.000-05:00Could we get a hint regarding the identity of the ...Could we get a hint regarding the identity of the criminally overlooked singer/songwriter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1164689722826174092006-11-27T23:55:00.000-05:002006-11-27T23:55:00.000-05:00To be mentioned in a blog post by Andy Whitman is ...To be mentioned in a blog post by Andy Whitman is enough to make my month.<BR/><BR/>To be mentioned within a paragraph of Joe Henry, one of my favorite singer/songwriters, makes things that much sweeter.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Andy. You don't know how many times I asked myself, while writing my book, "Will this movie-writing be as much fun to read as Andy Whitman's music-writing?"<BR/><BR/>You think I'm kidding.

"scar" might be my favorite of his batches. he also recorded an album of hymns sung by mandy troxel. this recording never came out. it was made under the direction of t bone burnett for possible release on squint. much was done by t bone and others to try to get this album out, but it just didn't happen. mandy ended up putting out another version of the album recorded by herself with equipment borrowed by john andrew schreiner (who helped get it mixed).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1164665578896795842006-11-27T17:12:00.000-05:002006-11-27T17:12:00.000-05:00Conkle’s Hollow is my personal favorite of the one...Conkle’s Hollow is my personal favorite of the ones you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>My backyard is pretty good. My frontyard too. Come down sometime during mushroom season and we'll take a trek while I avoid showing you all my best spots.<BR/><BR/>Athens is a great place, for the most part. And it is one of the reasons, apart from true love, why I drive 84 miles one-way everyday from 7 miles southeast of Athens to Cowtown.<BR/><BR/>But I'm a country boy.<BR/><BR/>PS- Andy, you really should give the Todd Snider a listen.<BR/><BR/>And BD, you really should stop by the Donkey sometime when JD Hutchison is playing.

Congrats to Rachel for picking the first and finest university in the state of Ohio!<BR/><BR/>Back when I was a student in the oh so recent G. W.

And if you consider the Nixon-Ford-Carter years as pioneer days, how about the Kennedy-Johnson years when some of the rest of us attended O.U.? Prehistoric, perhaps. Anyway, I'm always struck by how well the family functions, vs. reports from others about their families. We are certainly blessed that we all get along so well, despite differences in age, geographic location, religious and political beliefs and opinions, and all the other things we use to keep others at a distance. The family still has some points of friction, but they are certainly minor ones, and always have been. Our younger daughter, Jessica, missed the get together for perhaps the first time she can remember, and she was thirsting for information when we talked to her by cell phone on the way home.<BR/><BR/>It was good to spend time with you and the rest of the family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1164658008540448792006-11-27T15:06:00.000-05:002006-11-27T15:06:00.000-05:00Did Joe happen to mention what projects he has in ...Did Joe happen to mention what projects he has in the works for 2007?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
