A quote I liked

“Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.” –Flaubert in Madame Bovary, trans. by F. Steegmuller.

Here’s another take on it from Michael Cunningham in his latest book By Nightfall.

[We are all] “banging on a tub to make a bear dance when we would move the stars to pity.”

Pam's Comment

Hi Pam,

Thanks for your kind words.

I hope you check out the show and like it enough to listen occasionally. Please don't judge the show by what you're going to hear this Sunday. It's the second membership drive show for the fall. You'll be hearing a lot of me begging for money.

Anyway, the Jeanette Williams CD is on a label that no longer exists. On her site (http://www.jeanettewilliams.com/music.html) it's listed as out of print.

However, after the membership drive is over I'll be happy to play the tune on my show for you from my copy. That could happen on 10/24. Is there any time in that 4-hour range that would be better for you? I know and totally understand that many of my loyal listeners have never heard the first hour of my show. It does start kind of early.

Best wishes,

Frank P. Hoppe

Jim Oakden-- "I'll never forget a workshop Warren gave at Fiddletunes in the 80s, entitled something like "Sound self-defense for musicians". He discussed approaches we can use in dealing with less-than-competent sound techs, lousy sound systems, terrible acoustics...all the various real-world situations that musicians encounter. He... also talked about how he dealt with surly or over-critical musicians (I really liked his pseudo knob-twiddling...like the placebo effect in medicine). His insights have stood me in good stead over the years. His approach to sound combined technical brilliance, artistic good taste, and good-natured compassionate psychology--a combination very rarely encountered. I'll miss him."

Cathie Whitesides-- "Warren was booked to call and do sound for the Thursday night contra dance with our band (Rhythm Rollers --me, WB Reid, and Laurie Andres) and for the days prior we just stumbled around in shock. Sherry Nevins helped us figure out that having the dance was definitely the way to go. She said she'd open the mic up to cal...lers who wanted to call and we decided to open up the band to anyone who wished to play tunes in honor of Warren. Thelma, Warren's wife, brought Warren's fiddle and set it on the callers' box. It hit me hard -- I finally began to say goodbye to Warren. We ended the night with a waltz Warren wrote, "Tears of Love". Lots of folks helped so much that night -- can't thank you all by name but you know who you are I hope!!! Love, Cathie [Whitesides]"

Betsy Branch-- "Warren always had a big hug for me, and only lovely things to say. He was full of life and joy and passion, and was one of the first people I met when I started playing contra dance fiddle. I can still hear him singing "O Them Golden Slippers" down at the Tractor Tavern. Now he's walkin' them golden streets. My last dance with Warren was earlier this month at Northwest Passage. We danced a beautiful, elegant English Country Dance. It was sweeping, flowing, and the music was so gorgeous. By the time we got to the end of the line, Warren had tears streaming down his cheeks, he was so overcome by the beauty of it. That got me crying too. He was a true lover of beauty in all forms, and brought beauty and light to so many around the world. He is unforgettable!"

Gypsy Gyppo String Band – Grub Springs (Bay CD) The Gypsy Gyppo String Band (2:12)

Tom Knoblauch-- "To me, Warren was THE bright, shiny, happy, welcoming face of contra dancing. When Mariette and I were just contra newbies, it was Warren who was always first to offer a handshake, say 'Hi! Great to see you guys back again!', and make you feel as if you'd known him forever. I don't think I'd ever once seen him without a smile on his face or that uniquely Warren-like twinkle in his eye.

"God, how I will miss looking across the room toward the sound board as I finish a hey and seeing the big, happy guy in the tie-dyed shirt who contributed so much to make contra in this area so special.

"Warren may have left the set after progressing to the top of the hall, but the dance will continue to go on and on."

Sandy Bradley & the Gypsy Gyppo String Band – Upper Lehigh (Alcazar LP) Potluck & Dance Tonight [1978.] (2:12)

Ann Trail-- "Within a week of moving to Seattle in 1984 I was in a clogging class, and Warren was one of the musicians who played for us. Couldn't have been all that much fun for him . . . playing tunes painstakingly slow over and over. But he did it. Enabling yet another person in what was to become her folk habit. Sharing his enthusiasm. What I will remember most about him (other than those famous bear hugs) was that when he greeted you he always made you feel like you were just the person he was hoping to see."

Gypsy Gyppo String Band – Coot from Tennessee (Bay CD) The Gypsy Gyppo String Band (2:38)

Dan Kluger-- "I'll always remember, years ago as I was learning to play the banjo, one late night by the Sweet's Mill pond, Warren told me, 'it's all about the notes you don't play.'

"I'll miss you, Warren."

Sandy Bradley & the Gypsy Gyppo String Band – Chilly Winds (Alcazar LP) Potluck & Dance Tonight [1978.] (3:10)

Linda Coral Slater-- "When I think back through all the years of playing old time music, 30 years now, Warren's presence always made me smile. He had a big bear hug for everyone, always. I also remember one particular banjo workshop at Fiddle Tunes he taught. He was physically in the room with all us rookie banjo players, but he was really somewhere out in the cosmos, talking a mile a minute about the cosmic aspects of playing the banjo. I am grateful to have known Warren. Peace."

Sean Gaskell-- "My fiancee Megan and I met Warren through the contra dancing community in Olympia. I'll remember Warren because of his genuine warmth and his fulfilling bear hugs, and he was my favorite caller to dance to. He was also the caller at the first dance that I ever attended in Olympia, which also happened to be the dance ...that I met Megan. Whenever the caller asks for long lines forward and back, I will always remember to 'watch your partner get bigger and smaller.' You will be missed Warren."

Anita Anderson-- "I always loved Warren's way with words. He put a lot of thought into his words of praise or encouragement, so that you felt you were getting a customized reaction. For example, he once told me that my piano playing provided 'forthright and driving underpinnings.' I always wanted to put that on my musical resume somehow... And when one of my bands got too cerebral for him (he liked his dance music simple, without fancy chords ), he shook his head and said that we suffered from 'restless intellect.'"

Clyde Curley-- "Please humor me with this memory: I've had the fortune to share the stage with Warren as musician on quite a few occasions, and I treasure every one. Best, though, was at Wannadance, when I was asked, as one of the musicians that year, to play for a square dance workshop on fiddle. Warren, as sound guy, was assigned to play with me. Just the two of us, fiddle and banjo, and I don't know when I've ever felt so secure as a fiddler as I did on that occasion (and I did have some anxieties about the situation). Warren's playing was rock-ribbed solid. His presence was supportive, warm and positive. We made beautiful music together! I was in a band with Warren Argo, and it was just the two of us! The gods smiled."

Gypsy Gyppo String Band – Milwaukee Blues (Bay CD) The Gypsy Gyppo String Band (3:22)

Cheryl Phillips-- "I met Warren at my very first Seattle area contra dance - the last one put on by the Mountaineers at Floral Hall. I knew no one in the dance community, and not very many people in the Seattle area at all. I'd found the flier for it at the free Cross-roads concert and knew that since it was a Mountaineers sponsored event it would be safe for me to attend alone. He was the caller and in the band (I don't remember which band). His face lit up when I walked into the hall, he was so warm and welcoming, putting me immediately at ease. He encouraged me to go to the Thursday night dance at the Ballard Eagles. When I gathered my courage and a girlfriend to try it, he was there with his famous hug to welcome me.
He always you feel like it made his day to see you.
I'll miss him greatly.
Thanks, Warren" "

Gypsy Gyppo String Band – Broken Down Gambler (Heritage LP) 43rd Annual Old Fiddlers Convention [1978.] (1:57)

Susan Michaels-- "I keep seeing his lovely liquid eyes full of love and laughter and warmth and curiosity. I can feel that hollow in his chest where I could nestle in one of his fabulous, generous bear hugs. I can hear his booming voice and laugh. I am swinging him in my imagination. This is just too hard, friends. Warren taught me so much about calling, music, a life well lived, cutting to the chase, and above all being kind to oneself and others."

Gypsy Gyppo String Band – Sporting Cowboy (Bay CD) The Gypsy Gyppo String Band (2:18)

Tom Paul-- "Warren was our first guest caller when Alaska Folk Festival started its dance venue in 1992. The sound man cobbled together a bunch of old, suspect equipment for this new venue. Sat. evening, middle of a dance, maybe 300 dancers in motion, the speakers start smoking, on fire. Gasps and hubbub in the hall. Warren calms the crowd as he reassuringly continues calling to the end of the dance cycle. Then, in a matter of 15 minutes he reconfigures the equipment so the dance can safely continue. From then on for the last 18 years he has been the chief sound engineer at AFF. That week every April is the best of the year in Juneau not just because of the festival but because Warren is here. Warren of boundless enthusiasm, endless encouragement, encyclopedic knowledge, exemplary vocabulary, joie de vivre, cogent insight, and enormous heart. Marvelous world to have had a Warren in it. What will we do now?"

David Long-- "I was a fairly new guitar player trying to keep up at the Monday evening dance/jam at the New Melody Tavern (now, the Tractor). I would stand next to Warren if I could because he had The Rhythm in his fiddle playing. One time, on a stage of 20+ people, I stopped playing for a moment in the middle of a tune. Warren looked over, smiled, and called out, 'Hey, where's my guitar player?' Classic Warren! -- I'm so sad that he had to go, yet so blessed with many wonderful memories of his friendship and community collaboration."

Barry Shultz-- "Warren was a big man in every way. He made friends everywhere he went. I never in all the years that I knew him ever saw him be unkind to anyone. I will never forget him. I had many years of friendship and music with him that I will always treasure."

Gypsy Gyppo String Band – The Miller’s Will (Bay CD) The Gypsy Gyppo String Band (3:06)

Amy Hanson Wimmer-- "One of my favorite memories of Warren was at the Lake City contra dance, the night of my first calling gig, August 23, 2007. I was nervous, pacing around, reviewing my dance cards. Warren was setting up the sound gear. He came over, put his arm around me and asked if I was nervous. I said yes. He said something I'll never forget, 'Just remember, it's not about you, it's about them,' meaning the dancers. His gentle guidance, so helpful in a time of stress, served its purpose and helped me relax. If ever anyone deserved contra sainthood, it's Warren. Saint Argo, play on."

Gypsy Gyppo String Band – Grub Springs (Voyager LP) Northwest Regional Folklife Festival v. 2 [1978.] (2:49)

David W. Goldman-- "Still finding it impossible to believe that the world no longer has Warren in it... One memory out of so many: At Folklife a decade or two ago, I was standing by the side of the Roadhouse stage during a contra set. (Can't recall the band or caller.) At the time I was in a very unhappy mood, feeling quite down about som...ething or other, and very self-pitying. All of a sudden Warren comes charging up beside me, bopping up and down to the music with a huge grin, and he exclaims to me, "Do you hear that tune? That's that 'Bad Hair'! What a great tune!" I tried to hang onto my unhappiness. I really did. Couldn't manage it. Those five seconds of Warren left me smiling the rest of the weekend -- and still get in the way of self-induced unhappiness, to this day."
