Artist Track Album Label Approx. start time
 
American fingerstyle guitar master Duck Baker has so many albums to his credit since he started out in the 1970's that it's hard to know where to dip in. Baker is equally comfortable playing traditional British and Irish folk music, modern and free jazz, old-timey country, blues, gospel and ragtime music, all with an ease that belies its difficulty. Duck currently lives in the UK but visits the states from time to time. Two new album releases-- "Les Blues Du Richmond : Demos & Outtakes, 1973-1979" on Tompkins Square and "Duck Baker Plays Monk" on Triple Point Records-- prompted his latest visit. Duck Baker visited Irene at WFMU to play a few tunes with a lively conversation in between.

Raika:

It feels so, so odd hearing the show on this day, following SSD. But that it's still on the schedule is great.

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 7:06pm
chris:

recorded live and being played back live. does that count?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:06pm
Irene Trudel:

Hi Raika, chris and dale! Yes, it is weird to be on this day/time, but grateful that I'm still here. "Live" music is what I'll be presenting over the summer. Dale, Duck is not actually here but we recorded this live, so chris is right, it does still count.

dale & Rev. Rabbit, Duck has a very rich catalog to choose from. And when he plucks the strings, he sometimes pulls up on the strings. Amazing player!

Love it.

...now I'm thinking of Richard Thompson...
Intricate - but not in a hurry to show off - concerned apparently w/ Beauty & Tone of all things...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:28pm
Irene Trudel:

I'm sure Duck knows Richard. He was really good friends with both John Renbourn and Bert Jansch. I found this out AFTER the session. He's back in January, so I'm going to have to bring him back then.

Half a show in and I declare this project a winner. Looking forward to the presentations the rest of the summer will bring.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:32pm
Irene Trudel:

Thanks Ken! I already have things recorded / booked through the beginning of July. Lots of good sessions coming up.

Irene did you do the engineering also? I remember there was one guy on the comment board that always wanted to know the engineer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:00pm
dale:

thanks! see you next week!

em2c:

some of the style in "I Shall Not Be Moved" reminded me of the old song "Ragged But Right"... I'm sure some chords were passed along... all part of the great folk music tradition

Summer and Michael:

Shoot! We knew the new show was just an hour but we thought it was still starting at 9pm! Not up on the archive yet... will it be? <3
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:55pm
Irene Trudel:

Folsom, if I don't say otherwise I am the mix engineer on these live sessions. In my outside life I work as a live music engineer for John Schaefer on Soundcheck, New Sounds and WQXR.
