I love Maria Muldaur! When you were asking for cassette tapes, I tried to send you one of hers, but it used to be my parents’ and was so old, wouldn’t play anymore. (Personally, I like “Waitress in a Donut Shop.” It involves donuts! Which should be spelled doughnut, but still, the world needs more songs involving bakery goods.)
You sent me this tape!
I did? Eek, I’m sorry. That was a pretty distracted time in my life (also known as “the month before a cross-country move”). After I sent the box out, I realized I’d sent you many awful things instead of the more-acceptable cache of Talking Heads and Prince and weird Mexican art-rock albums that I had stuck under another pile of books. Also, an envelope with an out-of-date stamp. I’m pretty useless right before a big move, evidently.
Maria Muldaur is great. When she was very young (and before her last name was Muldaur), she sang “Richland Woman Blues” with Kweskin’s Jug Band, which was the song that turned me on to blues and to folk music in general.
This is crazy. I just downloaded a Maria Muldaur album last night. (For the track “Mairzy Doats” though.)
I thought the song was called ‘Midnight At The Oasis.’ That Dog. did a cover of it for some weird comp in the ’90s.
It’s used for bed music during Midnight Ticket Oasis on WFMU’s Evan “Funk” Davies show.
