Video Commentaries:

Dreamer:

Video by Fred Dammers of DVP Studios. Taken at a benefit concert in The Congregational Church – a beautiful venue that has been visited by several folk artists. “Dreamer” is an original -  a dullmusic signature song, philosophically.

***********

Billy Jones

A studio cut several videos of Ted Clancy and John Dull in the 80's. Camera work was very good for the time. Billy Jones is a dull music favorite.

*******************

God of Abraham:

A plethora of songs poured out of the folk community immediately after 9/11. The emotions so strong – it stimulated the collective subconscious. Some songs came later – like Paxton’s “The Bravest.”

“God of Abraham” came later – it was a delayed and measured response to the events and aftermath of 9/11. The song brewed for months and then came suddenly. Video by Fred Dammers of DVP Studios. Taken at a benefit concert in The Congregational Church – a beautiful venue that has been visited by several folk artists.

The three monotheistic religions were born out of the transcendental vision of mystic and prophet, Abraham. Seems ludicrous that folks are killing eachother supposedly because of interpretations of that singular vision. When will we ever learn?

************

In the Pines:

Leadbelly's classic has been cut by several artists including Kurt Cobain. Martin Dull interprets the blues song and is captured by an audience member at the Congregational Church venue. It was posted on you-tube unbeknownst to Martin - so it was grabbed it for you here.

“The Bell” – Kolokolchik:

 A Russian folk song.  Video by Fred Dammers of DVP Studios. Taken at a benefit concert in The Congregational Church – a beautiful venue that has been visited by several folk artists.

Fickle Man Blues

After hearing "Fickle Man Blues," one of the great folk mentors told me that I should not play this song - that it "wasn't becoming of" me. The song sat on the shelf for many years. Only when Martin and I cut the Out of Balance album, did it make sense to resurrect the song because the album juxtaposed songs of personal and world imbalance.

Fickle Man Blues is an angry, mean and vain song that shows inner struggle and pain. It was appropriate for Out of Balance.         JD
