Thread Name: MudRennies? Song lists?
Subject: RE: BS: MudRennies? Song lists?
We are loosely historic...meaning, if it can pass by the audience as being "historic sounding" (and most are not ethno-musicologists), then we can pretty much do it. This to include present day pieces like "Swing the Cat" by Meg Davis. On most days, we stick to folk (historic and present day)...but there are those occasions when the Pub Sing Director cuts loose and lets us go a little berzerk. This to include a Pyrated version of "Jailhouse Rock" called "Pyrate Jig". It's more about entertainment, and sneaking in some history where I'm from than it is strict historic re-creation. We even showed up as "The Weeds" one weekend and did some bluegrass.

Standards at Pub Sing:

I come for to sing, Wild Mountain Thyme, Roll the Chariots, Blowed and Torn, A-Roving, and a buttload more, but it's off season and I am addled of brain. :D
