| Tim Eriksen- "O Death" - 189 sec
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.

One of these days I wanna rope my buddy Mike Hickey, ex- Venom, into doing a version.

| | Rehobot Oromo Choir and Tim Eriksen at Minja's Memorial - 261 sec
www.timeriksen.net
The Oromo gospel song "Aarsaa Gaalaataa" performed by members of the Rehobot Oromo Choir including Tim Eriksen at a memorial for Minja Lausevic at the Cedar Cultural Center, Minneapolis, MN on October 13, 2007. The last time Minja and Tim performed with the choir was at the Walker Art Center's "Festival Dancing in Your Head," when they appeared with Ornette Coleman and the Bang On A Can All Stars. The group for the memorial consisted of (left to right, front row) Tsehai Wodajo, Maartaa Namaaraa, Aster Namaaraa, Elsa Namaaraa, Tim Eriksen
(back row)...?...? (sorry, can't see you in the video) and Ephraim Olani.
Though never a power majority, the Oromo people constitute the largest ethno-linguistic group in Ethiopia, with many living also in Sudan, Kenya, Somalia and internationally. Minnesota's Twin Cities are fortunate to have one of the world's largest (predominantly refugee) Oromo communities.
The Namaaraas, who have received/composed the lion's share of the Oromo Lutheran hymn repertoire, are from the western mountains of Ethiopia's Wallaga (Wollega/Welega) region. Tim Eriksen and Minja Lausevic began performing with the choir in 1999, when their "world in two cities" research into Minnesota's Lutheran music took an unexpected turn. They spent their first Minnesota Thanksgiving with this extended family, eating budeenaa and ito on the same plate with turkey and pumpkin pie. This collaboration resulted in the first ever CD of Oromo gospel music (Elsa Naamaaraa's 2001 recording "Hundinu Harka Kee Keessa Jira, Yaa Gooftaa.") The people in this video were also the very first to visit Minja, Tim and Luka when Luka was only a few hours old and, as usual, they sang and prayed and brought food enough for a week!
Whatever one's technical assessment of this "performance," it displays something of the depth and breadth of this community and singing tradition. Depending on who you ask and when, this song is sometimes considered a "western influenced" song, as opposed to a strictly Oromo one.
Minja Lausevic died in July, 2007, and as the video perhaps attests, she is deeply loved and missed by many people around the world. On July 28, 2007 she was remembered in simultaneous Sacred Harp singings in Greenfield, MA, Newcastle, England, Eugene, OR, Sand Mountain, AL and Minneapolis, MN. The next day a tree was planted in her memory in front of the Children's Indian School on the Nez Perce/Umatilla Indian Reservation, and emails, letters and phone calls came in from Canada, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Australia, England, Austria, Germany, Norway, India, Indonesia and many of the United States. May we all give reason to be remembered and missed so profoundly.

Tim Eriksen sings "Hicks' Farewell" on Mt. Pollux, Amherst, MA, in the shadow of Mt. Holyoke.
I recorded this for my self titled first solo acoustic CD on appleseed recordings. I had known this song for a long time from the various shape note tunebooks it appears in, but started playing it after hearing Doc Watson, who presumably got it from the Southern Harmony one way or another. I never really payed attention to Doc's music until Cordelia's Dad opened for him at the Appalachian festival in southern Ohio ca. 1997. I'm not so interested in fast picking, but have come to love his straightforward singing.

| | Tim Eriksen sings "Friendship" at the Summit House - 146 sec
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.
