Concerts - 1980s

THE WORLD OF
JERRY HENDRICKS

Repercussions of a collector

Concerts 1980's

Memories of shows seen in the '80s are sometimes vague, but I kept calendars from 1984 on, so at least the dates should be correct. Seem to have discovered Celtic music and attended many shows presented by the Green Willow Folk Club.

Concert sponsored by O'Friels Irish Pub . Spartan setting, but good show.
	05-08-84	Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy	Academy of Music	Philadelphia, PA
UD bus trip. I think this was my first symphony performance, and I was amazed at how much better an orchestra sounds in person.
	07-20-84	Karen Akers	Bacchus Theatre	Newark, DE
Lounge acts are not my favorite style, but she had a very nice voice in an intimate setting.
	07-23-84	Malicorn
French folk/rock group.
	09-06-84	Asleep At The Wheel	Stone Ballon	Newark, DE
Texas western swing band. Not a big country fan, but loved their sound and show.

Don' t remember the show, but it was on my calendar.
	10-20-84	Ossian	Green Willow Folk Club	Wilington, DE
Scottish traditional group
	10-10-84	Andy M. Stewart	Green Willow Folk Club	Wilmington, DE

John Martin seen a few months ago with Ossian, jumped ship and joined the Tannehill Weavers for a great show.
	03-18-85	New York Chamber Orchestra	Loudis Recital Hall	Newark, DE

The venue may not live up to his stature, but still a good show.

Great show, and was able to introduce some friends to the band.
	09-09-85	Eric Bogel	Green Willow Folk Club	Wilmington, DE
My favorite Green Willow Folk Club concert. It was broadcast on WXRD and I regret not recording it for posterity. I have been unable to find a decent vidoe of his performnce, so this slide show will have to do for now.
	11-13-85	Neal Ramsey	Loudis Recital Hall	Newark, DE
Saxophonist, but I don't remember the show.
	02-23-86	Mick Maloney	Green Willow Folk Club	Wilmington, DE
Green Willow continues my celtic music education, this time with a true scholar and traditional musician.
	07-10-86	John Hartford	North East Community Park	North East , MD
Cecil Co. summer concert series show, attended with Chip Toner. Just John, his bowler, banjo and stories.
	07-14-86	Peter Rowan	Carousel Farm	Wilmington, DE
Former Earth Opera and Seatrain leader, out on his own. A bit more country than I like, but still enjoyable.

Photo	08-24-86	Philadelphia Folk Festival	Old Poole Farm	Schwenksville, PA

	11-14-86	Mike Cross	John & June Gallagher	Wilmington, DE
Very enjoyable and funny singer/songwriter from North Carolina. The Scotsman was a highlight.
	12-02-86	Preservation Hall Jazz Band	Preservation Hall	New Orleans, LA
Should be required for every N'Awlins visit. Step away from Bourbon Street and hear the real thing. Have seen the touring band several times since, but nothing beats a show in their home.
	01-15-87	Kevin Roth	Bacchus	Newark, DE
Repeat performance by duclimer player and still good show.
	01-28-87	Gamelan Lake of the Silver Bear	Loudis Recital Hall	Newark, DE
Michael Zinn's Indonesian-style orchestra.

Social activist with a sense of humor.
	05-17-87	Bill Stains	John & June Gallagher	Wilmington, DE
Roseville Fair and Jubille. Annie Kuhna Johnson made him take off his cowboy hat to see how he really looked.
Photo	05-23-87	Chicago	Benjamin Franklin Parkway	Philadelphia, PA
Free concert on parkway brought out all kinds. Near breaking point when our blanket became a major throughofare.
Photo	05-25-87	Four Tops and Drifters	Delaware Park	Wilmington, DE
Memorial day concert bonus following a day of racing with the Hendricks and Crossan families.
	09-02-87	Archie Fisher & Garnet Rodgers	O'Friels Irish Pub	Wilmington, DE
Garnet is not quite his brother Stan, but good show with witty banter between the performers.
	10-13-87	Iain MacKintosh	Green Willow Folk Club	Wilmington, DE
His wit shines thorough a thick Scotish brogue.
	10-31-87	Ramsey Lewis	Mitchell Hall	Newark, DE
Although mellowed since his best stuff in the seventies, a good show. At intermission, I was asked by an apparently surprised young black women if I was enjoying the show, which I was. Pieces Of A Dream, with an amazing 17 yr. old pianist, opened with a more upbeat peformance.
Photo	12-20-87	Wilmington Music School	Aldersgate Methodist Church	Wilmington, DE
"A Festival of Carols" starring Anne and Jessica Hendricks and Jordan Turnbull.
	01-09-88	Stanley Jordan	Mitchell Hall?	Newark, DE
Was blown away by his unique "two handed tapping". Probably the most incredible guitar playing I've seen since Jimi Hendrix.

Anne, Jessica and Jordan perform at Family Fun Day hosted by Harvey in the Morning of WMGK.
	07-26-88	Kevin Roth	Longwood Gardens	Kennett Square, PA
Having seen him perform several times, this show was a dissapointitment. Beautiful setting, but lackluster show.
