Hey, Kinder Gentler Me,
re: "Daisy Hill"
You have a great memory for obscure songs!
"Daisy Hill, your velvet eyes are burning through my mind ..
Your quiet lips are smiling at me still.
Though I know that you could never love the likes of me ...
For you're too much of a lady, Daisy Hill."
Yep, Biff was okay, but it ain't my favorite on that album. I still love
the song that said "I sure loved the lady Daisy Hill." Her [ 2 syllable
descriptive word ? ] eyes are burning [ through ? ] me still. I wore that
album out.
I've been searching the internet all afternoon looking for "Daisy Hill" as well as "Jerico Springs". I loved both of those songs. I kept calling it "Daisy Mae" and my 20 year old son heard me and started singing all the lyrics to "Daisy Hill". Where can I find those songs to purchase? Yeah, I know, my son loves the oldies! Barb

Mr feller,
Can't believe I just found this old thread... Had an old 8-track tape of yours (Dick feller wrote) back in the 70's and have been trying to find some of those songs for years. Are there any recordings available of daisy hill?

HI Dick Feller!
Just wanted to let you know that your songwriting and musicianship are greatly appreciated and admired. I literally wore out the LP "Dick Feller Wrote". One of my all time favorites is "Daisy Hill". I learned it and every time I perform it live (I have an solo acoustic act), I get a great response and it is an opportunity to tell folks about you. I was wondering if you could shed more light on how you played the intro. I play a simple fingerpicking pattern in C, but I know that is not the key on the record and am assuming you used a capo?
Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and your talent.
Best wishes for the New Year?
Dee

Hey, Jack Diamond,
"Biff, The Friendly Purple Bear" first appeared on my UA album, "Dick Feller
Wrote .." which was released a "Loooonnngg" time ago.
However, I stuck it on a solo CD called "Centaur of Attention" that I did
last year.

There is even some Lo Fi Real Audio of that particular tune.
Thanks for remembering an old song from an old writer and, BTW, ... your
excellent taste in music is quite admirable!
Cheers,
Dick Feller
Im looking for a record by Dick Feller titled Biff The Purple Bear the
song was also recorded by Mac Davis on an album in the late 60s any help
would be appreciated
A shot in the dark, here, as it is now 2018, but my name is Robert Walker, and I have cherished my copy of "Dick Feller Wrote..." for more years than I care to recall, lol.
When I was still working as a radio dj, I often had occasion to play your songs, usually by playing Jerry Reed or Mac Davis first, then highlighting your originals, and this album was often my source.
Proud to say it is still a part of my vinyl Collection, and I still occasionally get to share it with new ears.
Thank you, Mr Feller, wherever you may be today.....
