Subject: RE: YOU JUST GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE..... From: Joe Offer Date: 06 Oct 98 - 03:04 AM ...because I didn't learn it when I was in the seminary, and still didn't know it until today. Somebody's gotta teach me. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: YOU JUST GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE..... From: BSeed Date: 06 Oct 98 - 02:20 AM By the way, Joe, why am I not surprised you want the tune, you old seminary dropout, you? --seed |
Subject: RE: YOU JUST GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE..... From: BSeed Date: 06 Oct 98 - 02:18 AM Bill is right about the tune--it's very close. But it's also something else, very familiar. I could tape it and send it to anyone who wants it...or will the copyright cops jump on me? --seed |
Subject: Tune Add: THE HERMIT (from Oscar Brand) From: Barbara Date: 06 Oct 98 - 12:44 AM Here ya go, Joe, and Bseed and anyone else who wants the tune to the Hermit. You have to imagine the part Bseed talks about, because this is just the square tune as if all the lyrics were sung. MIDI file: hermit.mid Timebase: 240 TimeSig: 3/4 24 8 This program is worth the effort of learning it.

Subject: RE: YOU JUST GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE..... From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Oct 98 - 08:53 PM Don't know either of those songs, but I'd sure like the tune. Wouldn't you like to post it, Barbara? Oh, thank you so very much.... -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: YOU JUST GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE..... From: Bill D Date: 05 Oct 98 - 08:46 PM The tune is about the same as the bawdy song "I wish all those young ladies was statues of Venus, and I was the man with the petrified penis.." etc...if that helps....*grin* |
Subject: RE: YOU JUST GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE..... From: Barbara Date: 05 Oct 98 - 07:39 PM You want the tune to the Hermit, Bseed? I've got the book here. I don't recognize it as sounding exactly like anything, maybe a little like Hey Rig a Jig, Come Kiss a Pig, and the book has it copyrighted in Oscar Brand's name, whatever that's worth. Blessings, Barbara |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE HERMIT (from Oscar Brand) From: BSeed Date: 05 Oct 98 - 05:04 PM Joe, you remind me of a song I have thought of posting here but never got around to. It was on one of Oscar Brand's "Bawdy Songs and Backroom Ballads." THE HERMIT
A hermit there was who lived in a dell,
He live all alone by the side of a lake;
To ordinary mortals his portals he closed,
Of the truth of this story there's no doubt at all,
(The ellipse indicates that although the words stop, the musical phrase is continued by an instrumental. It's in three/quarters time, with a very familiar melody which I can't identify) |
