robbie basho - duets and accompanists (and a choir) take two

the story so far; stung by a comment on nts radio, about basho being anti-social and so not playing much with other musicians, horsemouth went in search of the musicians basho had played with - he thinks the list goes something like this,

- the violin on  rocky mountain raga by Toni Talia Marcus
- the tabla player on robbie basho's roses and snow (from the album song of the stallion)- one William Wright.
- South Indian mridangam player Ramnad V. Raghavan who played on both of basho's albums zarthus and the voice of the eagle.
 - Susan Graubard – flute on tassajara from the Falconer's Arm I recorded in 1967.

these musicians he discussed in yesterday's post. in addition there are the following,

- Victor Chancellor - drone guitar on Eagle Sails the Blue Diamond Waters (horsemouth has been able to find out exactly nothing about him, any news gratefully received)
- Moreen Libet – viola, and Kreke Ritter – french horn, on Song for the Queen,  from Venus in Cancer.

on new llhasa new year's chorale from basho sings (early album on takoma - a very fahey title), we find quote unquote ‘THWAP---Supplied by Scooter Woodriff - harp guitar’. (about whom horsemouth has been able to find out nothing more).

plus oriental love song recorded in February of 1965 and first released on Robbie Basho's the grail and the lotus album was originally a song with words by Mary Koth an ex- new york schoolteacher. (about whom horsemouth has been able to find out nothing more).

he thinks this is Moreen Libet here (but it could just be  a popular name).

 - this just leaves the consortium choir directed by David Hogan on land of our fathers (hopi hymn)  from bouquet above.

David Hogan was a busy choir director, organist and composer, co-founder of the Walden School. In 1979 he moved to California to become director of music for the Consortium of the Arts, a school of continuing education which offers programs for children and adults in the San Francisco Bay area and Washington, D.C. He also served as music director for the Meher School, an innovative private primary school in Lafayette, California.

He died in the explosion that destroyed a TransWorld Airlines jet over Long Island, N.Y on July 17, l996.
