Subject: Your most recent 10 songs From: Bert Date: 17 Aug 99 - 07:19 AM In view of recent discussions about what is folk music, I am curious as to what Mudcatters are actually singing now. What are the last ten songs that you have sung in public? That is on stage, in a circle or sing or among friends. Here's my list... Laddies Who Fought and Won - by Harry Lauder That's Not My Colorado - by Katlaughing Size doesn't Matter - by Bert Hansell Bathing Angel - by Bert Hansell Silicone Cindy - by Bert Hansell Liverpool Judies - traditional Come to the Bower - by Allen Damron Plastic Flower Seeds - by Bert Hansell British Workman's Grave - Music Hall? While London Sleeps - Music Hall? Bert. |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: Roger the zimmer Date: 17 Aug 99 - 08:45 AM Well, we had an Elvis tape in the car on the way back from the jazz on Saturday so Ole Shep and Hound Dog were the last 2. At the concert I "joined in" (safely 50 yards back from the bands) with Peoria, Margie, Girls go crazy about th way I walk, Bourbon St, Down by the Riverside [is that one folk?), John Brown's Body, Just a Gigolo, and (they were a West Country band) Drink up thee cider. I think that's 10. All without the aid of Metaxas (but with the aid of a rather nice bottle of blush de Syrah rose) in the open air, hardly any rain and great fireworks later. |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: Bruce from Bathurst Date: 17 Aug 99 - 09:20 AM This bunch of songs might look more logical if I wasn't trying to learn banjo accompaniment for some of them - I wouldn't recommend this lot together as a set!
Sammy's Bar Bruce |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: Bruce from Bathurst Date: 17 Aug 99 - 09:24 AM Hmmm, maybe I'm only singing one long song with no breaks. Perhaps another thread might ask for the longest song title (nothing from Julie Andrews) Bruce |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: Jon Freeman Date: 17 Aug 99 - 09:48 AM Thankyou Bruce, you have just reminded me of Sammy's Bar - a song that I used to love but have not heard in years. Even though I am far more into paying than singing, I am going to have to find the words to this one as I can only remember bits of it. Jon |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 17 Aug 99 - 10:13 PM Sunday night at the Starry Plough I sang "My Grandfather's Clock" Two weeks earlier, same place, it was "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" My usual solos with the Born Once Gospel Singers in performance are "Jimmy Brown the Newsboy" (A. P. Carter?) and "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" (Dylan) Others in which I sing verses and they join in the chorus in sings at Sally's house are "The Green Green Grass of Home," "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," "Sittin' on Top of the World," "Times Are Gettin' Hard" Songs I'm planning for future Starry Plough performances include Bob Gibson's "Abiline," with my added verses, of course, "Jody and the Kid" by Kris Kristopherson, and maybe Doc Watson's version of "Alberta" --seed |

No Matter How She Done It — Tampa Red/Georgia Tom I may have mixed in some other ones, but this is a pretty typical lineup for me, along with some other ragtime tunes and the odd Dylan, Tom Rush or Willie Nelson song and a few civil war ditties. ddw |

When I fall in love in the folkish vein Monday night as part of my performance. Presently, I'm learning "Seven Bridges Road," "So Lonesome I Cry," and "How Will I Ever Be Simple Again"(Richard Thompson). And I need to learn three new and wonderful bluegrass songs within two weeks for a contest that's coming up. Any suggestions? (I have a good range, and can sing way high up there...) WW |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: Ferrara Date: 18 Aug 99 - 09:58 PM The last couple of times Bill let me go out for an evening, we went to folkie parties. Here's what I remember of what I sang, in no particular order: The Vacant Chair (Civil War song) ... All the Cowhands wanta Marry Harriet -- (A Western swing song from the 40's); I didn't start it, but I was the only one there who knew all the words ... Run Come See, Jerusalem ... I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair (Steven Foster) ... "Carly's Song," a friendship song by Carly Gewirz ... Children of the Heavenly Father, translation of a Scandinavian hymn ... Have been practicing The Night Visiting Song (trad), Sheath and Knife (Childe), Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet (pop song from the 20's), Beautiful Ohio (pop song from the 20's), John Peel, -- a real gemisch. By the way, katlaughing, I was happy to see that you sang The Wayward Wind recently. Lisa Null and I sing it sometimes and I've been wanting to try it on the zither, believe it or not. - Rita F |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: katlaughing Date: 18 Aug 99 - 11:50 PM Ferrara, Wayward Wind is one of our favourites. Thanks. When you guys upgrade from hamsters, I'd love it if you'd MediaRing me a zithered rendition of it:-) Also, nice to see you sang some of my mom's favs that I remember growing up to, including put on your old grey bonnet! Hadn't thought of that in years! What was it, "Put on your old gray bonnet, with the ??? on it, And we'll go ???" Aw...I'll go look it up! kat |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 19 Aug 99 - 01:22 AM Wyo, do you do Hard Times Come Again No More? Another one I like for a woman with a good voice and good range is The Lover's Return, an A. P. Carter song using the tune of Just a Closer Walk With Thee. John Prine's Paradise is another good one--I've heard it sung only by men, but there's no reason it shouldn't be sung by a woman. A lovely song on the same theme--but with not enough verses--is Aragon Mill. Every Night When the Sun Goes In is a great bluesy woman's song. --seed |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: Jack (who is called Jack) Date: 19 Aug 99 - 01:57 AM Roger in Baltimore, I'm glad to hear about someone outside of Cleveland singing Tim Wallace songs. I've posted one of his songs to the DT, but have been reluctant to post more since I know he copyrights them, and haven't had a chance to ask him how he'd feel about it. For my money, Tim Wallace and Mark Graham are the funniest songwriters in the 'folk' community going these days (apologies to Lou and Peter Berryman, who have some gems). In fact, the last songs I've been singing are Your states name here Water is alright in Tay Sailor's grace As the heart longs (a hymn based on the water is wide tune) Sailor's Alphabet Robert Waite (aka the ballad of Silver Jack). Bonnie Silver Herring Old Peculiar I'm Satisfied (Missisipi John Hurt) I don't feel no ways tired. |

Subject: RE: Your most recent 10 songs From: folk1234 Date: 19 Aug 99 - 11:50 AM My last 10 were all done at Annap's Gathering in the gazebo on the Navasink. I had the great pleasure of accompaniment of Annap, Dick G, Susan of DT, Max, bbc, davidmc24, Duane D, and Jeri of NH. Wow!, what a crew! As I recall songs included: Isle of Haute Lullaby, Stewball, Sammy's Bar, The Loss of the Rupert Bay, Where Have All the Flowers Gone, Night Rider's Lament, The Unicorn, The Final Trawl, Goodbye, Fare You Well, and I accompanied Jeri & her fiddle on some of her original songs and others like Whisky Before Breakfast, and Ashoken Farewell. What a grand time! |
