Songs and poems from the 26-27 July 2021 Mudcat Worldwide Singaround, probably in the order in which they were performed. Thanks to MoorleyMan for roughly the first half of the list. "The Most Important Rule of Life" is my guess at a title for the very short song Claire Sherman sang (it's also about half the lyric, the other half being, "Never leave your wallet on the roof of your car.").

as Gerry listed two single-verse parodies, I think it may be worth mentioning that a chorus of S-A-V-E-D (https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=5573#32866) and a chorus of Salvation Army/Nickel on the Plate (https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=8395) were added to the song "Rum by Gum"

"There was actually at least one other song sung after Joe's official close, but I don't remember what song it was." Felipa, I sang a few lines of the Phil Ochs song, Links on the Chain, but maybe that's not what you're thinking of. If anyone can remember a full song that came after the close, I'll be happy to edit it into the list. I have made the other corrections.

"Comments and corrections always welcome."

I sang Out of the Window at the 21-22 June 2021 session. I did sing the version which is in the DT under the title Our Wedding Day. It is not the same song as, is not "aka", "She Moved through the Fair". The songs have some relation, much discussed in a thread on Mudcat*. But Pádraic Colum just used one verse of Out of the Window in "She Moved through the Fair". *https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=869#3572943

Joe Offer sang the song described as "Here's to You" at this week's song circle. According to the DT, the song by the late Alan Bell is entitled When First We Met. "Here's to you," makes me think of Tom Paxton's "Ramblin' Boy". Most recordings do refer to the song as "So Here's to You".

I've also heard "When First We Met" aka "So Here's to You" called "The Parting Glass"; and that could so easily be confused by a popular song of the same name ("Of all the money that e'er I spent I've spent it in good company ..."

I thought it worth clarifying just which parting song Joe sang.

chorus:
So here's to you, and our time together.
I will share with you a parting glass,
And bid adieu with some smile and laughter,
Our time apart will be short, and pass.

There was actually at least one other song sung after Joe's official close, but I don't remember what song it was.
