Part 2 – Songs of Dave Carter (1952-2002)
Dave Carter was a very fine singer and songwriter who died suddenly of a massive heart attack on July 19, 2002, less than a month before he would have turned 50. Dave was in his mid-40s when he teamed up with fiddler and singer Tracy Grammer to form a duo that took the folk music world by storm.

Yes, Mendelson Joe would be a good candidate for David's next book.

I was not familiar with Dave Carter before listening to these songs today. How did I miss out on him? Thank you for this introduction, I will investigate further.

Mike Regenstreif (host)
Thanks Lanie. All of Dave & Tracy's albums are well worth pursuing. And don't miss Flowers of Avalon, Tracy's album of previously unrecorded Dave Carter songs.

Very good show today, Mike. Both educational and entertaining. I have loved the songs of Dave Carter for many years, and enjoyed both his and Tracy's versions an others' interpretations. "Gentle Arms Of Eden" is my all time favourite. Looking forward to next week.
