Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Rusty Dobro Date: 06 Jan 21 - 06:16 PM Gerry - I learnt my song from the late Monty Parkin as ‘Marks and Spencer’, but on reflection, perhaps it should be ‘Any Title Will Do’....... |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 04 Jan 21 - 10:59 PM Thanks, Moorley Man – will incorporate into my notes. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Jan 21 - 07:48 PM Another lovely singaround. Thank you, everyone. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: Noreen Date: 04 Jan 21 - 01:35 PM Our Prime Minister is due to give a televised address at 8pm today where he is expected to announce a further lockdown, so I will have one ear on that. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Jan 21 - 01:54 PM Happy New Year, Everyone! Our next Mudcat Worldwide Singaround is Monday, January 4. It starts at 8 PM London time, 3 PM in New York, and noon in Los Angeles. People in the rest of the world are smart and can figure out the time for themselves, but I do know that we're on Tuesday morning in Australia and New Zealand. Doors open for cocktails and conversation half an hour before, and we start singing on the hour. We sing for about 5 hours, giving everyone the chance to sing two songs. Hope you can join us. I emailed the invitation just now, and I'll post it here a couple of hours before the singaround. I change the link every week to try to avoid evil zoombombers. -Joe- Wendy, if the email address is correct on your Mudcat registration, you should be on the email list and should have received an email. for people who didn't get an email, you can join the list by emailing joe@mudcat.org |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: maeve Date: 01 Jan 21 - 01:01 PM From an earlier post by Joe Offer: 8 PM London time. That's noon here in California, and 3 PM in New York, and early Tuesday in Australia and New Zealand. I had no idea what time it starts in Israel (Shlomo says it's 10 PM), but we have singers from there, too. Come join us! We open doors half an hour before the scheduled time, sing for about 5 hours, and then chat until people are done chatting. All in all, it's a wonderful time. Some people just listen - that's OK, too. Hope you can come. If you'd like to be included on the email list, contact me, joe@mudcat.org For security reasons, we change the URL/address of the singaround every week, and post the URL here in this thread for only a short time. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: wendyg Date: 01 Jan 21 - 12:38 PM So how and what time does one join this thing? wg |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Dec 20 - 11:38 PM Well, I kinda like the idea of random wisecracks.... |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Gallus Moll Date: 29 Dec 20 - 12:15 PM re Painted Veil, I believe the phrase w\s first used in a sonnet Lift Not The Painted Veil by Percy Bysshe Shelley. It was later used as a book title by Somerset Maugham, and more recently as a film title. Not sure where Iain heard / read it - I'll ask him! |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Monique Date: 29 Dec 20 - 04:56 AM I'm sorry I didn't join lately, I'm on vacation with friends so no singaround. We're glad we still can tour around though we have a curfew from 8pm to 6am. So see you all on Monday! |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Monday!!! From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Jul 20 - 01:45 PM If there are songs posted here, they will eventually be moved to a thread for that particular song. So, free to post lyrics here, and I'll move them in good time. We don't currently have a way of correcting the Digital Tradition Folk Song Database (DT), and maybe it's a good idea to leave it as Dick Greenhaus left it when he died. I am gradually trying to ensure that there is a thread to cover every song or family of songs in the DT. The best place to look for correct lyrics is in the threads, not in the DT. If the lyrics in a thread have proper title, songwriter, and source information, you can be reasonably sure they're correct. If the title is allcaps and bold and large, that means it has been reviewed for correctness. -Joe- I will use this thread as the permanent notification thread for the singaround. As messages get out of date, I'll move them to the overflow thread or to song threads. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays on Zoom From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Jul 20 - 03:19 AM This thread is getting pretty long, but I think I'd like to preserve it as the go-to place for the singaround. Feel free to post whatever you like here (especially lyrics to songs you have sung or will sing), but I'll probably move most messages over two weeks old to our overflow thread (click). I'm having the best time at this Monday singaround. My big black dog Madeleine loves it, too, and she often comes into my office to listen while we're singing. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Stilly River Sage Date: 22 Jun 20 - 11:45 AM The link people have posted here gives the first-time user the opportunity to download the software even if they load it before or during the event. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Noreen Date: 21 Jun 20 - 02:45 PM Yes that’s right Amergin, for security reasons the new link is only put up about an hour before the start each week, so less likely to attract gatecrashers. I think it’s even better than the old HearMe (which I remember very fondly) because we can see each other too! Joe Offer has of course gone another step further and often searches for and adds info and words for the song being sung, in the chat box in real time... which sets this Mudcat Singaround apart from all others I’ve been involved with. Mudcat is once again in the vanguard of new ideas! (I wonder whether the wonderful Max might join us one week?!) |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Jun 20 - 12:35 AM I will post the link in this thread Monday, an hour before the gathering. I will also send links by personal message Sunday, to members who post in this thread. If you've pasted anything above, you'll get a pm from me Sunday. Sorry, I can't send personal messages to Guests, so you'll have to look here Monday for the link. I will change the meeting ID every week for security purposes. I can't handle anything that comes in Monday, because I'm teaching a Class Mondays and have just half an hour free after the class. Looking forward to seeing you Monday. Joe |
Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround Monday 9 PM London time From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Jun 20 - 06:22 AM When you enter Zoom, you will usually be give the opportunity to give the name you want to be known by for the session. If you have not used Zoom since June 1, you may be asked to update to the new, encrypted Version 5 of Zoom. It seems to be quite stable, so just OK the download and there you go - good reason to show up early, though. I'm looking forward to this. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround From: Joe Offer Date: 06 Jun 20 - 08:38 PM Okey-dokey. I think we have a minyan. Well, it's supposed to be 10 adult, circumcised males, but we'll make do with what we've got. Monday at 8 PM London time. That's Noon here in California, 3 PM at Mudcat Central in Pennsylvania, and 5 AM in Sydney.I'll host. I'll post the link to the Zoom session here in this thread just one hour before we begin, and I'll open up half an hour early at 7:30 PM for cocktails and conversation. There will be a waiting room, and I reserve the right to reject people I don't recognize - so please use your Mudcat names. Sorry. This should be fun! -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround From: Noreen Date: 06 Jun 20 - 07:31 PM I’m up for it too, 9pm Mondays is good for me, and Zoom works well. Are you up for organising it Joe? ?? |
