The Falcon Ridge of your dreams.

So what's your dream lineup?

Mine would include:

The Mammals
Robbie Schaefer solo
Jim's Big Ego
Peter Mulvey
Richard Shindell
Mike Doughty
Erin McKeown
Andrew Bird
Christopher Williams
Susan Werner
We're About 9

and.... yeah, probably Girlyman.

pretty much everyone he said, except mike doughty (he's cool, i just don't see him working at frff).

and now i'll ruin this rare moment by adding the nields. :)

i would love to see amy speace and anna fermin's trigger gospel in the new artists showcase, too.

Heh.

I think it goes without saying that the nields are on the top of my "if you could ban any artist from falcon ridge.." list.

;)

Hmm.

Miss wannabe rock star will never play a folk festival again...(and apart from that the rumor had it that she wasn't at FRFF 2003 cuz she demanded too much money...)

I'd replace Christopher Williams with Ellis Paul, add John Gorka, the Paperboys, Jess Klein, Antje Duvekot and definitely Girlyman. Oh and the Nields, too,. *runs*

Dude, I love the Nields!

Hee. So do I. With Carey and Rebecca there are at least four of us...

yeah, but it's a "dream" frff, so in this magical dream world of mine, erin is still ok with being a folkie and playing festivals with the other mere mortals. :)

i could deal with ellis instead of chris--i think i'd actually prefer it. and i'd love the paperboys and the crack queen again. :)

agreed. But the Paperboys are over here in May so it's not all bad :)

ooh! really?

I may have to try and make that happen!!

erm. but they suck. and are not playing anywhere less than a 2.5 ICE train ride away. :(

and as I suck and usually use regional anyway. I doubt I can do it :(

nooo!
No replacing chris!

He alone is enough to make me go to FRFF!

agreed...while I felt bad for Ellis falling ill last year, I was so much happier to see Chris performing in his place.

Hey! No ditching Chris. *Glares.

This title keeps earworming me with Richard Shindell.

hehe....me too. Darn Kenworth. :)

"darn kenworth" nothing. knowing the title of that song once won me free tix to a richard and tracy show. :)

Damn youuuu!!!

Now it is for me too. :P

BRODSKY! BRODSKY! BRODSKY! BRODSKY! BRODSKY! BRODSKY! BRODSKY!

hahah
That would rock.

that would be on my "if you could ban any artist from falcon ridge.." list... except that it doesn't seem to be an issue since he's never there as a performer anyway.

Well, you're in luck... I believe he's already effectively on their list.

Heh.

Lucy Kaplansky (and this is a dream world, so they can do a Cry Cry Cry set, right?)

Dar Williams
Susan Werner

Tracy Grammer
Arlo Guthrie
Lucy Kaplansky
Holly Near
Tom Paxton
And of course Moxy Fruvous

Josh Woodward would be on my list for the new artist showcase. he's written some great stuff in the past year or so. yeah, yeah, there's some affiliation and probably some amount of bias in that comment as well. *shrugs* i still think he rocks and would be a great addition. :)

We'll forgive you the bias since he really does rock. :)� And I hear his wife is totally awesome! :) (Especially on bongos!)

absolutely. And I'd add to the showcase Arjuna Greist, Kellie Lin Knott and Wormy ...

yes, please.

and if kellie comes, can she bring stolie and victoria?

Tres femmes would rock. And Victoria has the coolest name for a singer anyway...

Btw Kellie Lin applied for the showcase in '03 but was declined for being too jazzy *sob*

dwd, you've seen tres femmes?

Dar Williams
Richard Shindell
Lucy Kaplansky
Tracy Grammer
Susan Werner
Christopher Williams
Peter Mulvey
Robbie Schaefer (Mike Clem optional)
We're About 9
Girlyman
John Gorka
Kris Delmhorst
Erin McKeown
The Mammals
Russell Wolff
The Nields (with full band...cause they just have so much fun)
Da Vinci's Notebook
Moxy Fruvous
Patty Larkin
Patti Griffin
Live From New York
Nickel Creek
Indigo Girls (hey, they played Newport a few times)
Sweet Honey in the Rock (so long as I'm really dreaming)
Chris & Meredith Thompson
Chris Smither
Vance Gilbert

Though, this wouldn't leave much time for me at the dance tent, but I would include Wild Aspargus, Airdance, Assembly, and Northern Lights for contradancing bands.

Oh wow i totally forgot about Sweet Honey in the Rock!!!!� I think they'd be a great addition. Sunday morning wakeup gospel????? whoa man! i'm there with bells on! Sing it Bernice!

*faints* sweet honey would kick so much ass...there haven't been any *real* gospel singers up there since the last time ruthie foster was there.

also, imetberniceonceeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

You know, if you keep up with this "I meet famous people" thing, I may have to kill you out of jealousy.� and that's saying a lot for someone I've never met in person. :)

Would it be wrong of me to say Moxy Fruvous 10 times?

Maybe interspersed with others but... God, I miss them.

Sorry. I'm not cool.

jeez, you like Moxy Fruvous?� Why are you posting here?� didn't you know this is the We Hate Moxy Fruvous club?

wait, I thought it was the Moxy Fruvous Haters Club?

I thought this was the official Pete Best fan site. "the Best fan site on the web."

No, its the Haters of Moxy Fruvous club!

and all this time, i thought it was the people's front of judea.

hahahah!� No it's the Judean People's Front! Get it right!

Would it be wrong of me to say Moxy Fruvous 10 times?

NOT wrong!!� I SO agree!!� :D

I'd miss them, but I'm not even cool enough to have seen them.

I'm not gonna do a whole list because I'd mostly be seconding what everyone else said.

But I would absolutely. need. some C&M Thompson "Amazing Grace." And if they played a whole set I'd be happy about that too.

Also, I'm all about the solo Robbie and no EFO.

*Runs.

I <3 CM Thompson. And apart from Amazing Grace we need Tanglewood Tree as well...

And please sign my petition: JulieForBackgroundVocals ;-)

*hides*

don't you dare hide, yo. :)

Peter Tork and James Lee Stanley. Don't laugh-- they'd rock at Falcon Ridge!

Other than them, I want to see:

Vance Gilbert
DVN
The Nields
Deirdre Flint
Erin McKeown
Nellie McKay
Eric Schwartz
Russell Wolff
Zoe Lewis
The Paper Boys
