I make this video is for my Yahoo! 360 Blog, My favourite music, My music world ... A Tribute to Luxon & Crofut ...I love this audio CD very much ...Info: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"Two Gentlemen Folk" by Benjamin Luxon With Bill Crofut & Friends. The album released on September 22, 1987. Bill Crofut & Friends at Mechanics Hall (both in concert and without an audience in the same venue), playing folk songs from a span of hundreds of years and several countries. Crofut, who plays both banjo and 12-string guitar, shares the lead vocals with the rich-voiced Benjamin Luxon, a native of Cornwall ... Benjamin Luxon CBE (born March 24, 1937 in Redruth, Cornwall, UK) is a retired Cornish baritone. Luxon established an international reputation as a singer when he won a third prize at the 1961 ARD International Music Competition in Munich. In 1974, Luxon began his long association with the English National Opera which culminated in his appearance in the title role of Verdi's Falstaff in 1992. He sang in most of the major European opera houses and made frequent appearances in Munich (Bayerische Staatsoper) and Vienna (Wiener Staatsoper). Due to sudden hearing loss in 1990, he was forced him to end his singing career a few years later. However, he has developed a career as a narrator and poetry reader whilst continuing to give masterclasses and direct opera. For his services to British music, Luxon was made a CBE in 1986 ... The late Bill Crofut was born in Cleveland, USA, an internationally acclaimed singer, composer and banjo player who defied categorization. He first surfaced during the folk music boom in the late 1950s. His diverse interests are represented by more than 20 recordings, including folk music and jazz, classical music, and comparisons of English and American songs. He made seven tours representing the United States in more than 50 countries and received a Presidential Citation for his contribution to international cultural exchanges. Bill Crofut died of cancer Jan. 25, 1999, at his home in Sandisfield, Mass. He was 64 ...*

Nov 18, 2008 - Hi, arden. This could easy be Dan Fogelberg's hymn on his funeral. It set the whole life in a more beautifull and more optimistic tune.Let's all be friends and let the music guide us to the feeling we feel is right. Take care
