Arlo Guthrie released his 1967 hit song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree," named for Alice M. Brock, who with her husband Ray Brock lived in a former church in Great Barrington, MA. As of 2005, Alice Brock, lived in Provincetown, MA, where she runs an art studio.

It's about something

I will guess that you are thinking about the song "Wet Dream" by Kip Adadda. Wet Dream Lyrics

It was the 41st of April, being a quadruple leap year.

I was driving through downtown Atlantis.

My Barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented Stingray, and it was overheating.

I pulled off into a Shell station.

They said I'd blown a seal.

I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay pal?"

While they were doing that I walked over to a place called "The Oyster Bar" -- a real dive.

But I knew the owner -- he used to play for the Dolphins.

I said "Hi, Gil!" You have to yell, he's hard of herring.

Gil was also down on his luck.

Fact is, he was barely keeping his head below water.

I bellied up to the sandbar.

He poured me the usual -- Rusty snail, hold the grunnion, shaken, not stirred.

With a peanut-butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side -- heavy on the mako.

I slipped him a fin - on porpoise.

I was feelin' good. I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids.

For the halibut.

Well, the place was crowded.

We were packed in like sardines.

They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal.

What sole.

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna, Salmon-chanted evening,

And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers -- Probably there to see the bass player.

One of them was this cute little yellowtail, and she was giving me the eye.

So I figured this was my chance for a little fun.

You know, piece of pisces.

But she said things I just couldn't fathom.

She was too deep. Seemed to be under a lot of pressure.

Boy, could she drink. She drank like a- She drank a lot.

I said "What's your sign?" She said, "Aquarium."

I said, "Great! Let's get tanked!"

I invited her up to my place for a little midnight bait.

I said, "C'mon, baby, it'll only take a few minnows."

She threw me that same old line, "Not tonight. I've got a haddock."

And she wasn't kidding either, cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock I'd ever seen come down the pike.

He was covered with mussels.

He came over to me, he said "Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here."

What a crab. This guy was steamed. I could see the anchor in his eyes.

I turned to him, I said "A-balone. You're just bein' shellfish."

Well, I knew there was going to be trouble, and so did Gil, cause he was already on the phone to the cods.

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch.

I catch him with a left hook. He eels over.

It was a fluke, but there he was, lyin' on the deck, flat as a mackerel. Kelpless.

I said, "Forget the cods, Gil, this guy's gonna need a sturgeon."

Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend.

She came over to me, she said "Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish. What's your name?"

I said, "Marlin."

Well, from then on, we had a whale of a time. I took her to dinner. I took her to dance.

I bought her a bouquet of flounders. And then I went home with her.

And what did I get for my trouble?

A case of the clams.

"folk music has no nameable origin."

Nick Drake did have a girl friend.

Bob Gibson, MLB's African-American Hall of Fame pitcher, is still alive (born November 9, 1935).

Bob Gibson, the folk musician (1931-1996) was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy in 1993 and died three years later. (This same brain disease killed actor Dudley Moore in 2002.)

I wrote this article for a tribute site and thought I'd forward it to you in response to your question.

It was 1972. I was a member of the guitar club at Stanely Green High School, Paisley, Scotland. My art teacher had just moved to teach in another school and invited us to a concert there. It was to be held in her classroom and I was asked by my music teacher to be the support act to Colin Scot. At the tender age of 15, I sang and played the full version of "American Pie." The walls were adorned with paintings done by pupils - "Welcome to Paisley, Scotty," was the message on them all. In a darkened room, with only a few spotlights and no P.A. system, it was indeed an intimate affair. After doing my bit, raffle tickets were sold, the prize being Scotty's debut album. Accompanied by Jo Partridge on six string acoustic, Scotty, with a Yamaha twelve string, delivered a performance to be remembered. I'll always remember that day - "passionate" and "soulful" are a few of the words I'd use to describe his act. When the show ended, Scotty and Jo spoke to me and I got their autographs.

The following year, I won the music prize and left school, then formed a rock band and started gigging. However, a few years later, I left and started writing and performing my own songs, as well as covering other compositions, including some by Scotty. In 1979, I entered the Melody Maker Contest solo section, won the Scottish heats and went on to be British runner-up. I always wanted to meet Scotty again. I bought all his album releases and saw him play again in the mid-seventies as support to King Crimson at the Glasgow Apollo. I'd heard he was living in Amsterdam and owned a pub there and it was my intention to venture over to visit. I was saddened to hear of his death in 1999, only discovering the news when I heard Allan Taylor's song "Scotty" from the album "Colour to the Moon." Alan, like many others, had great respect for him. Scotty's contribution to the folk and music scene was, to say the least, vast. And, as a person, he was - to echo the words of many - a true gentleman. I am very proud to be part of that day, thirty six years ago, when something special happened in a school classroom somewhere in Scotland.

R.I.P. Scotty,

Scotty was a good friend. I used to act as his roadie whenever he was in London in the early 1970s. But I lost touch with him when he moved to Amsterdam. And I was devastated to discover, when the internet made it possible, that he had died six months before. I have created a website dedicated to him, and, when I get myself together (very soon), I will post all the responses from the wonderful people he knew.

Hi I knew Colin- I now look after his father in Worksop notts. Colin@s parent came home to the UK 2005. Colin's mum passed this Jan 4th 11. We played two of Colin@s songs at his Mum's funeral. It was a wonderful tribute to his Mum.

"Take me away" and "Lady in my baby". Colin was a very good entertainer as his songs were sung with passion.

Tejano Music is influenced by basically all type of genre's from Conjunto and Orquestra to Country, Rap, Hip-Hop, and more. It just depends on which group at what time. Tejano Music is more of a style then a set genre, you would literally have to break it up in to sub-genre's like Tejano Conjunto, Tejano Pop, etc...

Mary ann referes to a woman named Mary Anne Westenhouse who was a heiress around the 1920s the songs writer is unknown but it seems to be her which it is refering this information comes from Pete Seger the folk traditionalist.Some people think the song could also be about a Mary Ann Lagrate from Louisianna who courted John Jacob Niles but that has yet too be proven.

The song you're thinking of is "English Country Garden" by Jimmie Rodgers. In the song he whistles at the beginning and the end. He sings about the different flowers, insects and birds which can be found in an English country garden. There are several recordings of it that you can listen to on YouTube.

A singer and songwriter in the 1960's. A singer and songwriter in the 1960's. Arlo Guthrie was born with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other, in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York in 1947. He is the eldest son of America's most beloved singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, a professional dancer with the Martha Graham Company and founder of The Committee to Combat Huntington's Disease. He grew up surrounded by dancers and musicians: Pete Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert, Fred Hellerman and Lee Hays (The Weavers), Leadbelly, Cisco Houston, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, all of whom were significant influences on Arlo's musical career. Guthrie gave his first public performance at age 13 and quickly became involved in the music that was shaping the world during the 1960s. Arlo practically lived in the most famous venues of the "Folk Boom" era. In New York City he hung out at Gerdes Folk City, The Gaslight and The Bitter End. In Boston's Club 47, and in Philadelphia he made places like The 2nd Fret and The Main Point his home. He witnessed the transition from an earlier generation of ballad singers like Richard Dyer-Bennet and blues-men like Mississippi John Hurt, to a new era of singer-song writers such as Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, Joan Baez, and Phil Ochs. He grooved with the beat poets like Allen Ginsburg and Lord Buckley, and picked with players like Bill Monroe and Doc Watson. He learned something from everyone and developed his own style, becoming a distinctive, expressive voice in a crowded community of singer-songwriters and political-social commentators. Arlo Guthrie's career exploded in 1967 with the release of "Alice's Restaurant", whose title song premiered at the Newport Folk Festival helped foster a new commitment among the '60s generation to social consciousness and activism. Arlo went on to star in the 1969 Hollywood film version of "Alice's Restaurant", directed by Arthur Penn. With songs like "Alice's Restaurant", too long for radio airplay; "Coming into Los Angeles", banned from many radio stations (but a favorite at the 1969 Woodstock Festival); and the definitive rendition of Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans", Guthrie was no One-Hit-Wonder. An artist of international stature, he has never had a hit in the usual sense.
