Gathering Time
At 9:15 one evening in early November of 2011, two men and one
woman stepped onto a stage in the theater space at the Hudson Valley
Resort in upstate New York. The formal showcases of the Northeast
Regional Folk Alliance Conference were in full swing. Their voices
rose in a blend that seemed unearthly. In a heartbeat, the terrestrial
became celestial. As with all other artists in attendance, they sought
greater recognition for their talents. In this, they succeeded. From this
point forward, the name Gathering Time carried new meaning and
bore greater weight.
Three for the show
By Richard Cuccaro
We couldn’t help but wonder what had brought these forces together.
Some artistic collaborations have unlikely beginnings. Those are the
ones we like the best.
It began with the Tuesday “Cruise Night” Street Fair in Oyster Bay,
L.I. Originally started in 2003, it’s purpose was to show off the vintage
cars of wealthy Long Islanders. Family friendly, it became an annual
summer-long series. In June of 2005, as the first evening of that year’s
series kicked off, singer/songwriter, monster vocalist Glen Roethel was
recruited to provide sidewalk entertainment. A contemporary acoustic
folk/rock soloist and a veteran of many rock bands, he’d be playing
each Tuesday. That night, in front of a bench on a sidewalk adjacent to
the parked antique vehicles, Glen set up and began performing.
Hillary Foxsong had gotten out of work after a particularly tough day
and gone to a pub with some friends for a drink. It happened to be
located where Glen was playing just outside. She came out and stood
on the pub steps. Hearing Glen, she instinctively began singing along
in harmony with him. He smiled at her in encouragement.
At this point, Oyster Bay resident Billy Joel (yes, that Billy Joel)
suddenly materialized and asked if he might join in. Three-part
harmony ensued, captivating any cognizant listeners within earshot.
After Billy left, Glen told Hillary she could join him as a harmony
singer anytime. Two weeks later, she showed up at Cruise Night, and
again sang flawless backup harmony.
We’ll fast-forward to the following summer of 2006. Hillary was
again singing backup for Glen on Cruise Night. She was unaware that
Glen had recently run into old acquaintance, accomplished musician
and folksinger Stuart Markus, and had extended the same invitation
to drop by and sing harmony with him. Stu walked up and saw that
Glen already had someone else singing with him, but somehow found
a third harmony part in the song that, in its original form, had only
two parts. While Hillary was not initially thrilled at sharing her role,
she had to admit she was impressed with Stu’s finding that other
harmony part. Somewhere in the back of all three minds, something
clicked. They were hearing something special. Unintentionally, one
professional musician lifer had joined forces with another educated
talent and one gifted amateur who had never planned to perform
professionally. It wasn’t until some time later that their partnership
photo: Dawn Ravella
would become official. A glimpse into their personal lives revealed the
fates-in-flight particles of this vortex of talent.
Beginnings
When Hillary Foxsong was young, before even attending
kindergarten, she would sing along to the first Peter, Paul and Mary
album with her mom and grandmother. Her grandmother, a former
professional singer, would tap her on the shoulder, stop her and
say, “No, honey, there’s three parts. You find the part nobody else
is singing!” Hillary recalled, “At times she’d get on my part and
I’d have to get off and find another part.” Hillary had no idea what
her grandmother was teaching her (though today she knows that her
grandmother knew). At times, Hillary recalled, “ She’d get on my part
and I’d have to get off and find another part. I think of her every time
I step into a group of people and find a harmony. You can drop me
anywhere and I can usually find something to sing.”
Hillary sang in church choir and school choruses, but never thought
about singing professionally. Later, she’d become a habitue of karaoke
bars and win prizes in contests.
Hillary got her college degree in art, but found the restrictions of
commercial art unrewarding. Today she has fun with digital art. After
she got out of art school, she worked as a show horse groomer for 10
years. She’d work overnight in stables, braiding the horses’ manes. To
overcome boredom, she’d bring in her boom box and sing along to her
favorite albums. In heavy rotation were Court and Spark and Hejira
by Joni Mitchell, Ingenue by k.d. Lang, Diva
by Annie Lennox and Lyle Lovett’s Joshua
Judges Ruth. Depending on her mood, she’d
sing harmony or straight melody. Today, she
says, “I can sing every song on those albums.
Numerous other tapes of classic folk/rock
helped to add to her encyclopedic repertoire.
Aside from karaoke, until meeting Glen, there
the matter rested.
In Rochester, where Stuart Markus grew up,
Stu’s parents always encouraged his musical
pursuits. They enrolled him in a Yamaha
music program for kids when he was around
six years old.
Vocal harmony made its first impact when a
visiting uncle brought Simon and Garfunkel’s
Bridge Over Troubled Water. When he was
11 or 12, he heard Crosby, Stills and Nash
singing “Suite Judy Blue Eyes,” and again
was impressed with their harmony. That
impact would prove to be prophetic.
Stu started taking piano lessons when he was
six or seven. His grandparents gave him a
guitar for his eighth birthday. After a “good”
piano lesson his piano teacher would teach
him a couple of new chords on the guitar. In
fourth grade he started French horn lessons,
but continued playing guitar. He said that
he got guitar lessons in “dribs and drabs.”
There were group lessons in fifth grade and
whenever possible, he hung out with players
better than him, knowing it was a good way to
improve his own playing. That said, out of all
the instruments he’s studied (drums included),
guitar is the one on which he’s most selftaught. Stu participated in chorus throughout
middle school and high school, but that was
just the tip of the iceberg.
While still in high school, he also took voice
lessons and music theory classes for two
years at the Community Education Program
at the Eastman School of Music, part of the
University of Rochester. In his senior year of
high school, the new music teacher formed
a jazz choir and Stu joined that. They did
Manhattan Transfer style arrangements of
swing standards and jazz became another
genre Stu came to love.
At the University of Pennsylvania, he took
more music theory classes and played French
horn in the marching band and wind ensemble
and sang in the University Choir and several
a-cappella groups. He eventually became
president, musical director and arranger (all
at the same time) of the nine-voice a capella
group Chord-On-Blues.”
After college, Stu moved to Brooklyn (N.Y.)
and formed an a capella group, The Broadway
Local which lasted for two years. He’d go to
parties and hang back, too shy to converse.
However, he’d always bring his guitar along.
Someone would say, “Hey, Stu, why don’t
you play something?” He’d play and sing
and everyone would sing along to covers
he’d learned. With music as an icebreaker,
he began making friends and realized that he
knew a lot more songs than he’d thought at
first. He didn’t care for the term “folksinger”
at first, not realizing how broad a term it was.
He preferred “rock and roll singer/songwriter”
who preferred using an acoustic guitar.
After four years in Brooklyn, Stu moved out
to Long Island and kept going to parties with
his guitar, making more friends along the way.
After a couple of years, he discovered that
there were people who were making money
playing out in bars, some of them less talented
than he. He bought a sound system and
started playing in bars and restaurants. From
1992 to 2006, Stu was primarily a “covers
guy “ who wrote a song here and there, but
only occasionally slip them into a restaurant
gig. He met Long Island singer/songwriter
Judith Zweiman and they began backing
each other up on originals and covers. Stu
and Judith then forayed into singing sea
chanties as the duo “Strike The Bell.” That
was his introduction into traditional music.
His website also informs us: “A lifelong
small boat sailor, … his love of sea chanteys
has grown out of his love of sailing.”
Another factoid found online, not covered
in our interview: “Stuart has also organized
several high-profile benefit concerts, most
notably the [annual] ‘Just Wild About Harry’
Chapin tribute concerts by top Long Island
songwriters. (To date the concerts have raised
over three tons of food.)” Stu is still the
organizer for this benefit.
Glen Roethel can remember records being
played when he was just 2. His family moved
to Long Island when he was 6 and that’s
where he grew up. His brother brought home
some records when he was 6 years old —
‘60s girl groups (“Please Mr. Postman,”
“Chapel of Love”) and The Beatles. Glen was
enthralled and wanted to play music. At first
he thought he’d like to be a singing drummer
[Could be the “Ringo effect.” Remember…
“What would you do if I sang out of tune?”].
This changed when he got the guitar at age
11. “Precocious “ doesn’t begin to describe
Glen’s experience.
By the time he was 12, he had practiced
enough to audition and get hired as lead
guitarist by a professional band named Focus.
They performed at parties, church dances,
and school and town events. In time, Glen
was negotiating contracts, recording, writing
songs and developing marketing materials.
Throughout high school Glen provided guitar,
bass, piano and vocal on numerous musical
projects, writing, recording, playing and
producing. The progression from here seems
encyclopedic. After high school, he played
solo for a while, and then joined a local band
The Passengers. He also joined a wedding
band, Champagne that performed 130 events
each year. Glen’s repertoire enlarged and
spanned material from Manhattan Transfer
and Sinatra to The Beatles and the Rolling
Stones. His experience continued to grow
with a stint in the Pat Nichols Band (a
signed rock project) and his own “Buddha
Babies” project. This fused Cuban, Peruvian,
African/American players and styles. [!] In
partnership with others, Glen also recorded
award-winning children’s albums.
Glen had originally discovered the Folk
Music Society of Huntington (FMSH)
somewhere in the mid-’90s. He first met Stu
back then at a sister organization called the
Island Songwriters Showcase, a workshop
group. FMSH was small and, given his
involvement with rock and jazz, didn’t hold
his interest for long. He lost touch with both
FMSH and Stu. When he returned ten years
later, FMSH had grown and become well
organized and was the center of a huge music
scene on Long Island. It was a community
and that aspect of it appealed to Glen. He
became a member and began attending open
mics and concerts. He also began attending
the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance
(NERFA) Conference each fall. He still didn’t
quite fit in, but wanted to learn more about the
genre. Glen then ran into Stu and embarked
on the current path when he extended the
aforementioned invitation.
Gathering What?
number of originals from Stu and Glen as well
as one each from fellow L.I. songwriters Judith
Zweiman and Josh Joffen.
Although songwriting was a new endeavor for
Hillary, it didn’t grow out of a vacuum. She has
been part of a community of online fiction writers
for a number of years. On her website, along with
her fiction, her imagination and creativity can be
seen in her digital graphics as well.
Closer to the Present
Stu had always wanted to record a version of
Peter Yarrow’s “Light One Candle.” Now was
the perfect opportunity. Under their new name,
the recording was a success and got airplay in the
U.S., Europe and Israel.
The following year they released their first
CD, Songs of Hope and Freedom. It contained
Hillary’s first songwriting effort, “Remember
Me” as well as “Light One Candle” and a
Their story illustrates a pet theory of mine
about the singer/songwriter genre: It borrows
from so many different musical areas that
it’s possible for many fans of acoustic roots/
Gathering Time during their NERFA formal showcase
Stu and Hillary joked that they kept showing up
at Glen’s gigs to sing harmony and that he didn’t
seem to mind, because he kept splitting up the tip
jar. Glen quipped in return, that they kept showing
up and stealing his tip money. They sang together
often and were getting better and better. They
decided that they needed a name and tried calling
themselves “Third Wheel” until an Internet search
showed that there were already other groups out
there using it.
After they had been together for a while, Glen
suggested teaming up at NERFA, thinking
they’d go over well. Stu had already been
attending for 10 years, but Hillary asked,
“What’s a NERFA?” So, in November of
2007, they went and for Hillary it was a real
eye-opener. Once formal showcases are over
(around 11:30pm), the late-night guerilla
showcases and non-stop jamming can draw a
neophyte into a frenzied vortex. Stu and Glen
agreed that it was a challenge to get Hillary
to slow down and get some sleep now and
then. Together, they performed in centrally
located lounge areas and people began asking,
“What’s your name? Do you have an album?
Who are you? One presenter said, “If you can
come up with a name, I want to book you.”
Several DJs approached them and said “If you
get something recorded, get it to me.” That
was when the need for a group name became
urgent. Remembering how people gathered
around them at NERFA, they began thinking,
“Gathering … something … Moss! (NO!)
… Strength! (NO!) When Stu suggested
“Gathering Time,” there was no immediate
negative reaction anywhere, as with other
suggestions (previously, at least one of them
would “make a face”), so they went with it. It
was akin to Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle,” a
reference to the most precious commodity in
life.
the honor of performing in concert with A
Few Good Men - a Jazz ensemble comprised
of three formerly incarcerated men from SingSing prison, with the Director of Deutsche
Bank on drums. A career in music is never
boring.”

During the 2011 NERFA conference, I picked
up the sampler for their new album Red
Apples and Gold. Hillary’s contribution, “If It
Would Only Rain” is a real standout. We get
a good look at her fiction-writing ability. The
lyrics tell of a letter from a fallen Confederate
soldier to his wife and her inner dialogue in
response. There’s nothin’ Civil about war when
it comes to the battle / Brothers kill brothers,
men slaughtered like cattle / They say Jake
was brave, he took three Yankees with him
/ But I think of their wives and I think of
their children. Reprising what I wrote in the
review section of our 2011 December NERFA
Scrapbook issue: “It’s timeless, brilliant and
heart wrenching. The writing and the song’s
execution bode extremely well for this group.”
Gathering Time was chosen to perform in the
formal showcases at NERFA 2011. Their set
cleared the remaining cobwebs away from
some eyes (mine included) and opened a
bunch of others. Their rendition of “Suite:
Judy Blue Eyes” blew everyone away. The
smooth-as-silk harmonies were the equal of
(and maybe better than) the original by Crosby
Stills and Nash. Glen’s rock-honed falsetto on
the line It’s my heart that’s a-suffering / It’s
a-dying absolutely killed.
All three performers are constantly working
these days, staying busy in between Gathering
Time gigs. Both Stu and Glen still perform
solo. Hillary is one-third of the Long Island
group “The Folk Goddesses” with Martha
Trachtenberg and Judith Zweiman. Stu also
continues to perform with Judith in “Strike
the Bell” when the opportunity presents itself.
Glen will sometimes perform in other
configurations. He told me: “I recently had
folk/pop music to generally agree across
wide swaths, but some fans may absolutely
hate a favorite of a close friend. Why? The
roots of an artist’s style (vocal or writing) has
becomes old for some or perhaps was always
annoying in its original form. However, it’s
still a favorite for another fan. Did those
borrowed Bo Diddley/Chuck Berry rhythms
turn sour? Did those James Taylor/Michael
McDonald-like vocals get too saccharine?
Whatever the sound Gathering Time brings to a
listener, the band’s history reveals a voluminous
repertoire that covers enormous stylistic ground.
Each member has brought a huge storehouse of
influences to bear on this group project. Their
talents render it infinitely malleable. They might
not overcome the particular tastes of certain
people who hear roots they’ve chosen to keep
distant, but they will bring many things to many
people, hopefully for a long time.
