Guy - thanks for the incredible show in Paramus this weekend. My boys Sam and Ethan are your newest fans - RW

March 16, 2006

I happily confess to having loved the gig at Makor on the 16^th.  I got a kick out of hearing Guy dedicate “Run Sinner Run” to me – actually it was a shared dedication, first to his friend Arminda, whom Guy said was a great banjo player.  I didn’t write down the set list but I should have…Here’s what I do remember (they had $3 bottles of Magic Hat #9, just so you know), although they’re not entirely in order:

Limetown
Chocolate Man
Shaky Pudding
Hooking Bull at the Landing (which I think is my new favorite song
Run Sinner RunHighway 61
The button story
Georgia Flood
Joppatowne Intro/Joppatowne
Railroad Story 

He might have done Maggie Campbell Blues, too?, but that’s the only one I’m uncertain of.  And the album is at home so I can’t refer to it.His encore was “Let Me Stay Awhile,” which was the very first song I ever heard of his, and I’ve never heard him do it live, so that was great. All that in a one-hour set!  It was a great time. 

Scott was pleased to meet Guy, and I was able to introduce my colleague and friend Jessica and her husband John, too.  Jess’ step-dad is now a big fan of Guy’s, since Jess bought him “Legacy” for Christmas. 

Tell Guy thanks again.

LOOKING BACK: GRAHAM PARKER with GUY DAVIS

Two weeks ago, we presented our first show at The JCC in Tenafly, as Graham Parker returned to The Stone House, along with Guy Davis, with both artists performing solo sets.  Graham alternated between his acoustic and electric guitars, and his set-list served as a reminder that he has put together one of the more impressive collections of material, over the past 30 years.  He even went all the way back to his debut record, with a terrific rendition of "Don't Ask Me Questions."  Guy Davis' mastery of the acoustic Blues, blew away both longtime fans and folks who had never previously heard of him.  By the way, his most recent CD, entitled "Legacy," begins with a brilliant song/argument between father and son on the topic of blues vs. rap.  It's called "Uncle Tom's Dead."  Check it out, on Red House Records.

Dear Guy,

This is Kriss from Poznan. It was very nice to have you here in Poland, I hope you have nice memories from here. It would be really nice for us to have you here one more time. I will be organizing blues festival next year and I would feel more than happy to make you my guest. I hope to hear from you soon, I hope we will somehow keep in touch. P.S. Greetings from my family. Maybe Olga will prepare a cake, maybe blackberry one? :)

Guy, your music makes me feel alive! Thank you for sharing it with us.

 We all had a great time in LaCrosse, Wisconsin on 11/18/05. Breakfast with you was a pleasure too.

After listening to you play, I'm happy to report my scurvy is cleared up, my head-cold is gone plus i somehow can speak 3 new languages! Your music is magic!

Happy trails!

See you next time...

Dear Guy,

The students and teaching staff of P.S. 182 say thank you for a "blue afternoon"! We had a good old hand clapping-toe tapping-knee slapping time. You made us feel like we were sitting around listening to the stories during a family gathering.

Know that you now have inspired many students (and maybe a teacher or two) to play the guitar.

Take care and thanks again!

Dear Guy:

My friends and I saw your performance at the Tupelo Music Hall this Friday night and as I told you then, it was one of the most incredible shows I have ever seen. (And being married to a musician, I have seen many top name bands) The way you captured the audience with your music, your voice and your storytelling was just exquisite.  I hope to catch your performance when you play the Blue Moon in haverhill in May.

I have already told many people about how great I think your show is.

The very best of everything to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Sharon Morley

My husband and I saw Guy play at the Common Fence Point Music Series here in Rhode Island on November 12. It was a fantastic show. My husband is the big Blues fan in the family and I was accompanying him out of (I thought) wifely consideration. But now, thanks to Guy, I have been converted. I had never heard acoustic Blues live before, and certainly never had the benefit of a performance such as Saturday's Thank you so much! We can't wait until your return visit to Rhode Island...which I believe is April 22, 2006 !!!(You are wise to wait until Spring...) Oh! I also want to say I got the "Legacy" disc and it is fabulous..and "I Just Can't Help Loving You" is one of the most beautiful love songs I have heard in a long, long time. Thank you again. Happy trails!

Hey, I was just introduced to Mr. Davis' music, and I am now a huge fan.  I seen him at the Savoy in Glace Bay last night and it was amazing!!!!!!!

Saw Guy last week in Basingstoke, England.  He put in an absolutely brilliant performance and completely knocked the socks off some friends I'd taken along with me who had never heard him before.

And thanks, Guy, for the impromptu lesson at the end, showing me the capo trick on the Tommy Johnson song.

How many other performers would sit a member of the audience down, put their guitar on his lap and proceed show where to put your fingers?  A true gent!

Very many thanks for a great night, and make sure you come back soon.

Hi.  I missed Guy when he was in Australia earlier this year.  He performed the Brunswick Music Fest the same night I saw Eric Bibb play the Corner Hotel. I couldn't get to Byron Bay to see them both.  Come back soon please.  Big support down hear for the great bluesmen. Peace.

I'm love the way you play Guy, and I love the heart that you have the songs of old. Don't ever get discouraged. I'm in France at the moment; fresh from Montana, where, by the way, you have a lot of fans. I was looking at your schedule, noticed you where not anywhere near France. The rural people here love 'story' songs and really appreciate blues. Places like, Limoges, Toulouse, and south would really appreciate you. However, just a word to let you know that you are an inspiration to many....THANK YOU

It's a Fall Sunday morning. I was on the Internet looking for a job and the Encore cable channel had "Beat Street" (a film about inner city struggles, breakdancing, hip hop and graffiti) on and I remember knowing that the character Double K/Kenny was played by Guy Davis according to my memorizing the credits (I've memorized the entire movie since 10 years old). And since Beat Street is one of my favorite all time movies, I had decided to see where the actors are today in 2005, 20 years later. I researched Tonya Pinkins last year and I know she's a successful actress and more. Today brought me to research Guy Davis.

It brought tears to my eyes. For one, the Encore channel had been repeating a movie called "It's Good To Be Alive" with Paul Winfield and Ruby Dee this past week. And that movie captured my spirit. But the irony is when I researched Guy Davis this morning and learned that for all of these years since the days of Beat Street, he's an established actor and more than anything a true bluesman musician. A loving father, founder of a Pacific coast vineyard, a bridge to racial harmony and the shocker of it all, Ozzie Davis and Ruby Dee's son!

I've been crying this whole time writing this passage with the background sounds of your voice Guy on Beat Street and my heart sweltering with shame for not being taught nor never knowing your journey since the days of my favorite movie. Pride because you are an outstanding man for all that you've done and continue to accomplish. Pain, because we as black people in America have no idea the walls that we build and destroy. Build for historical value and destroy because of barriers that need to be broken. Noone is teaching us who we are individually nor collectively.

You, Guy, played a significant character in one of the streets most historical films (besides that damn Scarface). Beat Street was film's inception of Black and Latino's youth. Our legitimate view of how we turned poverty and struggle into a voice, art and history which is now a worldwide culture within all races, creeds and lifestyles.

We as blacks in America had nothing of our own without it being destroyed. We, today's youth, thought that all of our social attempts to create some sort of respect and identity as a people in this country was assassinated along with the very voices that spoke for that cause.

Until, I researched the character of Double K and found that he's the son of the ROCK (Ozzie and Ruby) for our people. And with all of your past and continuing accomplishments, I discard the shame since I did find out who you were even if it was on my own. I cry with pride in my heart. And I've decided to allow the pain to become a positive inspiration for me and to pass the word on about who you are as man outside of the streets knowing you as Double K.

I've been in your world all weekend, watching your beautiful mother play the hell out of Brooklyn Dodger, Roy Campanella's wife. And watching Beat Street, only to find out more treasures about your life and our Davis family.

Now realizing, being a 30-year young mother of a 12-year young daughter here in New Jersey, I have to be the one to teach her the correct history of our culture. It took me 20 years to learn about you and I am grateful that the powers that be drew me to this in depth emotion and discovery today.

Thank You Guy for your footprints.

According to the Fan Photo Page on this website, I thank all of the races and people worldwide that have embraced Guy and us as a people. We love you for defying the laws of the unnatural to not hate one another.

Blessings to you ALL!

SeeAsia

Thank you SeeAsia for the thoughtful and insightful piece. I would like to add that although Guy has become a fan of the "Davis Family Vineyard" and is currently involved in a joint project to bring together the wine, the artistry of yet another Guy Davis and Guy's music, he is not the founder of the winery.  Please watch the website for the special collector's edition of the art, the wine and the music!

Thanks - Linda (Guy's Webmistress)

Thanks for the music.  I saw you play live in down east Maine last summer 2004, a recommendation from friends who'd seen you live before.  I purchased your Chocolate to the Bone album soon after, and I continually share it with others.  The line 'Can anybody tell me where the road is?' hits very deep - my wife and I moved from Ohio to Connecticut several years ago to escape my family's issues - and almost everytime I hear that song I pick up the phone to call my dad. Not an easy thing to do!!  I just wanted you to know your music inspires, and has meaning in my life. 

Good Day,

Hi, I managed to  wrangle my way into ushering for Mr. Davis in Slough, over in England. I've been getting into blues lately, trying to learn some stuff (and failing). Mr. Davis's set was the most amazing thing I have seen. I'd heard a couple of CDs, but live it was amazing. I managed to get Mr. Davis to sign one of my acoustics, which was brilliant.

Between now (my last year of school) and leaving university to tour with a band I will be learning how to play like that. Wow. Next chance I get to see him I will.

Thanks for giving me such inspiration.

Hi Guy .

Went to see you for the first time at the Isle of Wight concert, England, on Friday 14th October, You were brilliant, what a class act.

Can anyone advise me if Guy has a LIVE CD or DVD available in England or the USA.

An evening I will never forget.

I teach music to kids (as well as perform).  I'd love to have a book of your songs transcribed.  I'd like to sing them with my kids and arrange some of them for my chorus. (possible some day soon?)

I am a teacher of third grade students. I have I have heard your song,
We All Need A Little More Kindness in This World, on Sirius radio. I
was wondering about getting this on CD so my students could sing it at our winter program.  If this is all right with you, where can I get the song?

Thank You, Nancy

Nancy,

The song is from the Teaching Tolerance campaign and they have made a teaching package available to teachers. Please visit the link below. If you would like more info from us, please feel free to email me and provide me with your email and I will respond to you directly.

Thanks hugely, Guy, for your visit to Dole's Ridge Farm and the Buntings this last weekend on Sunday 9/25. It was an honor to have a chance to meet you and speak with you, and way more than heartwarming to sit on the grass and listen and groove to your second set (wish I had caught the first one!). Thanks for autographing Legacy for me. I read that you mostly taught yourself the guitar, but learned finger pickin from a nine-fingered dude on a train(?). Man, that's the thing I want so badly, to be able to just start a groove with that pickin. That's what I hoped I'd get when I went to Paul Rishell in Cambridge last summer, but I have trouble learning some things, good a teacher as is Paul! Anyway, I'm pretty determined, and I'm certainly gonna live long enough both to learn that, and then enjoy knowing it for a good long while. Thanks again, I look forward to seeing you again, and maybe I can play some harp for you then.

 

My very best,

Hi Guy,

I 'm a very big jazz enthusiast and I must admit I've not heard very much blues, however, I'm open to any music and was wondering when would you be returning to the New Brunswick, NJ area?  I'd love to hear/see ya. 

Thanks, Lilly.

Nosing around after being absolutely turned-on by your outstanding performance "Under the Stars" in Upper Merion (near Philly) last Sunday.  Thank you very much and hope your son finished his homework that night in the car.

Thank you Guy for the inspiration in playing and teaching at the Acoustic Guitar camp in Alaska. I really enjoyed what you do and it was a pleasure spending time with you and watching you hone your art. You are a treasure of blues and the stories that go with the songs are deep and powerful. 

Thanks again,

Hi there in New York! I saw you, Guy, on the TV programme called Metro, when you were in Slovakia. That was absolutely amazing!! I love blues, I love bluesmen and I was really impressed. I live in Slovakia but I hope to go to US when I finish school (but I'm just sixteen now). Now I'm gonna try to get your cd somehow, but that might be problem here, in Slovakia, I think. Anyway, I haven't seen any guy like you, I could feel indescribable feeling when I heared you talking. I wish you the best, Guy!

I had the privilege of hearing Guy sing and play, and joined him for a tune behind the scenes at Bigton during the Shetland folk festival earlier this Year.

He was good enough to give me a copy of his CD "Legacy" which I really like, and although Guy wouldn't take any payment for it he asked me to drop him a line sometime. Well, I'm as good as my word, so please pass on to Guy that I'm still pickin' the 5 string banjo and wonder how "JUBA" and Guy are doing.

Thanks

Andy
