My name is Tjerk Snik and I live in The Netherlands.
September 2009 I started building this website.
Why? Because of my deepest "appreciation" for the music of Ry Cooder. I hope to share the "Ry Cooder appreciation" with a lot of other Ry Cooder adepts from all over the world. I know there are a lot of them.
I am a Ry Cooder adept and collector since 1970. The first time I heard the music of Ry Cooder, it was love at first "hearing". It never stopped since that moment.
I visited a lot of Ry Cooder shows here in The Netherlands. The last Ry Cooder shows I visit was the Ry Cooder & Nick Lowe "They Drive By Night" tour at the Carré Theatre in Amsterdam, June 19 2009 and Queen Elisabeth Hall, Antwerp Belgium, June 21 2009. It was superb!!!

Frank Frost and Ry Cooder where doing some recording for the Crossroads film and he and Ry Cooder played a few places. Ry says he has over 20 hrs of studio recordings with Frank of which almost none made the final soundtrack. I sure wish I had a copy of any live shows with the both of them. I heard specifically of a McCabe's show they did, but there were a lot of these one off's that Ry did in the 80's.
Does anybody does have more information and knows if there are recordings of this performances available? If so, is there a change for a trade??

I heard that Ry Cooder's "JAZZ" and "The Buena Vista Social Club" where once available as DVDaudio. I did'nt know about that fact. For JAZZ I don't know. Recently I received the BVSC DVDaudio in a trade. Excellent!
As a collector I do have a request: Does anybody knows if JAZZ excist as DVDaudio or have some more info about it? Is there someone who have JAZZ as an DVDaudio and want to sell it or trade?? Please contact me.

Lancelot Victor Pinard, who under the name "Sir Lancelot" was a significant figure in introducing calypso music to American audiences, died March 12, 2001 in Anaheim. He was 98.
Accompanying himself on guitar and singing old-time calypso tunes like "Rum and Coca-Cola," "Mary Ann" and "Take Me, Take Me," Pinard offered lively performances to packed houses at venues around Southern California in the 1940s and '50s.
He emerged briefly in the 1980s, performing locally at "McCabe's Guitar Shop" with a band composed of some legendary figures in the L.A. music scene: Van Dyke Parks on piano, Ry Cooder on guitar and Jim Keltner on drums.
Does anybody having more infromation and knows if there are recordings of this performances available? If so, is there a change for a trade??

Eric Clapton, The Centrum Worcester, Mass. March 1, 1983.
Opening act Ry Cooder, who plays slide guitar on Clapton's new album, Money And Cigarettes, did not join him on stage but still drew accolades with his own skilled set. Ry opens about 20 shows for EC in 1983. Backed by four pieces and two singers, Cooder artfully teamed blues, R&B and gospel styles, though he's better off in a more intimate venue.
- Part of the mystery Solved -
