Hello List I'm a new member its very nice to find you all here chatting away about Robbie Basho and I hope you're all well. I was just wondering if anyone...
Dear Abe, There is not one that I know of, sadly, but (for the first time in a while) I'm in a really good position right now to work on some more tabs, so...
Robbie Thanks very much for the most interesting reply, I will have to go back a relisten to this period in parallel with the other guitarists you mention, de...
Greetings friends! The Vanguard tapes are an entire unreleased album, recorded by Robbie in 1975-1976, and for me his finest hour by a million miles, it seems...

Hi Alan,Thanks for the info. Â I tried locating this on itunes and Vanguard, and I am striking out. Â Can you send some light to guide me to the correct path...
Alan, I was most interested in the tail end of your comment, when you mention "...before his spirit was broken." Could you elaborate on that? On another...
I believe it's called "Indian II", I don't have access to the iTunes music store in Hong Kong, so I got some friends in the US to download it for me about a...
Greetings Alan, Your impressions and 'narrativization' of Indian II are very attractive, and I'm sure many people here would share your understanding of...
Hey Artpaws, Reading your post, two quotes came to my mind that I feel might be worth sharing. One closer to home, the other further. In an interview with John...
Continuing the conversation from the Vanguard thread.... thank you very much for that quote from Renbourn. I shows that even a finger-style master can be run...
maybe i'm too out of tune about this issue, but i don't understand why Robbie's Indian Music interests by then didn't fit Windham Hill stylings i think...
Hi, Toni, When Windham Hill got its start, its focus as an instrumental fingerstyle guitar label was very, very narrow. The "Early Pierre Bensusan" album,...
Well, it does seem odd in hindsight, but the power dynamics between Windham and Basho were odd to begin with, and were not like that of a newly signed artist....
Let me state from the outset that I am a contrarian on the Windham Hill recordings. To my ear, both of them are disasters. My main criticisms may go to the...
I stand by my original comments, and it's just based on the music, I'm a composer for what it's worth. I don't believe these recordings are outtakes from Voice...
Hi folks, I came across this today on the Fahey Guitar Players group. I wonder whether anyone knows anything about A North Thuringian Raga by Steffen...
Robin, thanks so much for this one, especially for the website itself. That is a real treasure. After getting three of Basho-Junghans's albums, I stopped....
There have been some great discussion threads here lately ‹ I¹ve been fantasizing about a Basho book, collecting / expanding some of the jottings of Rich...
Glenn Jones wrote: <While Windham Hill undoubtedly deserves some of the scorn heaped on it, I think they deserve nothing but credit for issuing Robbie’s...
Dear all, It has been very quiet round here lately, so I thought it worth writing in with a few bits of news. Firstly in response to Glenn's last post, I think...
Robbie, as always, thanks for a very interesting, thoughtful and full post. I will really be looking forward to your monograph on Basho. It sounds like it is...
Robbie I'd be happy to contribute to the writing if you feel that's appropriate. I have mixed feelings about tribute albums, particularly with someone like...
Alan, I wanted to respond (positively) to your opinion about tribute albums. If they are indeed to be tribute albums, and not an excuse to use someone's name...
I¹m amused to read your email, Rich, as this is the same tribute record that I invited you to contribute to two years ago! (I suggested it anyway, and ...
... After Kottke's 6 & 12 String Guitar got reviewed favorably by Rolling Stone, he was signed to a major label and recorded several Fahey songs, most notably...
hi Glenn, I remember your inviting to me to possibly record for a Basho tribute album, but to my knowledge, you never followed up on it. I had been waiting...
If there are no copyright or other legal issues involved, Alan's idea of a Basho tribute album that begins from the platform of Robbie's actual compositions...
This may not be quite so complicated. I would advise you to contact a good copyright lawyer; however, regardless of who actually owns the copyright, most of...
