You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Paul Karl Siebel'''<ref name="nyt" /> (September 19, 1937 &ndash; April 5, 2022)<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/paul-siebel-mn0000751117/biography|title=Paul Siebel Biography, Songs, & Albums|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=October 10, 2021))</ref> was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, born in [[Buffalo, New York]].<ref name="LarkinGE">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Guinness Publishing]]|date=1992|edition=First|isbn=0-85112-939-0|page=2262))</ref> He is best known for other artists' [[cover version]]s of his songs, most notably "Louise". Other frequently covered Siebel songs include "Spanish Johnny" (which was originally a poem written by [[Willa Cather]] in 1917 and expanded upon by Siebel), "Long Afternoons," "Any Day Woman," "Nashville Again," "She Made Me Lose My Blues," and "Then Came the Children".

==Biography==
After serving in the military, Siebel began playing folk clubs, eventually moving to [[Greenwich Village]], where he found support in the coffeehouse circuit.<ref name="LarkinGE"/> An article in ''[[The New York Times]]'' on February 14, 1970, written by Mike Jahn, described Siebel as "a folk singer with a country and western bias ... a 32‐year‐old native of Buffalo and musically a product of the [[Greenwich Village]] folk scene" and said that he "sings in high nasal and hillbilly manner, rather like [[Bob Dylan]]'s singing in his early days", referring to his songs as "uncomplicated country and folk songs, with occasional thoughts about such things as suburban living and raising children". Typical of his songs were “Bride 1945" and "My Town".  At [[The Bitter End]], he played acoustic guitar and was backed by [[David Bromberg]], Don Brooks, Jeff Gutcheon and Gary White<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1970/02/14/archives/paul-siebel-singing-his-folk-songs-here.html|title=Paul Siebel Singing His Folk Songs Here|date=February 14, 1970|website=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=January 23, 2020))</ref>

In 1969, [[Elektra Records]] became aware of a collection of songs Siebel made with [[David Bromberg]] and signed him to record ''[[Woodsmoke and Oranges]]'' (1970) and ''[[Jack-Knife Gypsy]]'' (1971).<ref name="LarkinGE"/> His songs were covered by, among others, Bromberg, [[Willy DeVille]], [[Linda Ronstadt]], [[Bonnie Raitt]], [[Jerry Jeff Walker]], [[Kate Wolf]], [[Mary McCaslin]], [[Emmylou Harris]], [[Waylon Jennings]], [[The Flying Burrito Brothers]], [[Rick Roberts (musician)|Rick Roberts]] and [[Leo Kottke]]; but he remained mostly unknown to the larger public.

After 1971, his songwriting production stopped. Siebel became depressed and developed drug problems. Now and then his name came up in interviews with other artists. [[Kris Kristofferson]] tips his hat to Siebel in his song "The Pilgrim". Siebel played [[McCabe's Guitar Shop]] in 1978, which was considered a comeback, and appeared on a 1977 release, ''Music From Mud Acres'', with a cover of the Hank Williams song "Weary Blues".

In 1996, folk magazine ''[[Dirty Linen (magazine)|Dirty Linen]]'' tracked him down and talked with the then 58-year-old bread baker.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.dirtynelson.com/linen/feature/64siebel.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051216235426/http://www.dirtynelson.com/linen/feature/64siebel.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 16, 2005|title=Paul Siebel|date=December 16, 2005|access-date=January 23, 2020))</ref>

In 2004, Elektra released a compilation CD with most of Siebel's songs. Its booklet contains an interview by Peter Doggett where Siebel looks back on his career.

Siebel made his home on [[Maryland]]'s Eastern Shore in the 1990s. According to a 2010 profile in ''American Songwriter'', Siebel was then working an "outdoorsy job with the Parks Department" in Maryland. As of 2016, Siebel retired from working in [[Queen Anne's County, Maryland]], and no longer played for the public.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://americansongwriter.com/paul-siebel-journey-of-the-jack-knife-gypsy/jim-allen/|title=Paul Siebel: Journey Of The Jack-Knife Gypsy |website=Americansongwriter.com|date=November 8, 2010|access-date=January 23, 2020))</ref>

Siebel died from complications of [[pulmonary fibrosis]] on April 5, 2022, at the age of 84.<ref>[https://davidbromberg.net/david-bromberg-news/  "David Bromberg Quintet and Band", April 5, 2022].
