Tim Eriksen- "O Death" www.timeriksen.net By request. I heard Dock Boggs sing this on a record when I was a kid and loved it and hated it right away. Cordelia's Dad worked up a version with Mike Seeger for a gig ca. 1997. It really got stuck in my head hearing Ralph Stanley sing it every night for a month when we were on the Great High Mountain Tour together. I'd been telling incredulous people for many years that an unaccompanied old song would find its way into the hit parade, so I felt somewhat vindicated when I heard Ralph's voice emanating from a shoe store at the Mall of America around 2001. (On a recording). Here's a link to my Prairie Home Companion performance of "o death" (as well as an old Amherst version of the song "two babes.")I've often had mixed feelings about PHC, but seeing Garrison at work gave me a real appreciation for it. Among other things, we did two consecutive nights at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, and the second show was completely different, after what must have been an all-nighter on GK's part. Check out the way he introduces me to sing "o death." This was completely spur of the moment- no discussion whatsoever. I wasn't even scheduled to perform in that part of the show- he just started motioning to me toward the end of the monologue, and the stage manager ran to get a mic set up. Garrison made eye contact, said something about a train whistle, then pointed at me like I was supposed to know what to do. It was cool. http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/2005/10/29/ One of these days I wanna rope my buddy Mike Hickey, ex- Venom, into doing a version.

Tim Eriksen sings "Friendship" at the Summit House www.timeriksen.net This old march tune first showed up with these words in "The American Musical Miscellany," 1798, printed by Andrew and Daniel Wright, who had a shop just about behind the tree (on Bridge St. in Northampton, if memory serves). I think it probably originated in a no longer extant play mounted by Ezra Stiles down in New Haven that predates Royall Tyler's "The Contrast," but I may be the only one who thinks that, and I can't remember why I do. It shows up in a number of 19th c. shape note and oblong hymn books, sometimes with the word "friendship" replaced with "Jesus." The only people I know who sing it now are some "Christian Harmony" singers in North Carolina and Alabama/Mississippi. It's one of my favorite songs, and I recorded it for the CD "Every Sound Below," the liner notes to which contain a bunch more about it, including a surreal experience I had stumbling upon two little punk girls playing it on a piano in Camdem, ME in 1997. The first asparagus was in on Sunday, and it's as good as always. A friend introduced me to the term "phenology," or noticing first appearances of things through the seasons. In music I'm often more interested in vestigial or liminal presences than in what's the latest, but in the natural world I guess I do love seeing things as they come in. Of course the seasons are old songs too. I'm standing down the hill from the Summit House, which is supposedly where Jenny Lind had her honeymoon. By the time I finished playing there was a little crowd of people, including somebody I've known through gigs for probably 15 years. Not the worst turn out I've had.
