Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 04 Nov 02 - 03:04 PM Thank you for all of your hard work, Amos. I'm so giddy I could plotz. As for an explaination of the song?

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Helen Date: 04 Nov 02 - 11:04 PM Is the Mudcat Schooner a big glass of beer. If you offered one to any Aussie they would say "Forget the boat, just get me that drink you promised me!" Helen Ditto about how to order, how much etc?? |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Art Thieme Date: 04 Nov 02 - 11:29 PM Mr. Amos, Thanks for having me on board. It's an honor !!!!!!!!! One question: Should my song on this Strawberry CD be named Chicago Town Blues or is "Chicagotown Blues" more correct??? Or possibly even------"Chicago-town Blues" ???? Again, thanks for all your efforts on this. Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Amos Date: 05 Nov 02 - 10:16 AM Liner notes: WALLA WALLA WOMAN BLUES This original blues is loosely based on the Barrelhouse style made famous by stars like Bessie Smith, in the days before microphones were used for live performance. It was written to raise some working cash for the Mudcat on commission from a lovely Mudcatter in, of all places, Walla Walla, Washington, the town so fair they had to name it twice.

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Amos Date: 05 Nov 02 - 11:06 PM "Fly Me Away" Words and Music by Anne Cooke and Amos Jessup Artist: Áine (Anne Cooke), vocals; Layne Cooke, strings and sound engineering Fly me away to the days down in Lafayette When we were the talk of the town You took my hand when they played 'Jolie Blonde' And I laughed as you waltzed me around Raised up three girls by the glow of a fire Taught them the old Cajun tunes We built a life, and did it with nothing But iron pots ---- and wooden spoons Bring me back home to the place by the bayou To a dance floor lit by a blue moon Shadows of Spanish moss painted the wind And the night owl kept calling the tune On a small wooden porch with a tar paper roof We rocked to the song of the loon We built a life, and did it with nothing But iron pots ---- and wooden spoons Oh won't you fly me away back to Lafayette Where only memories remain You'd take my hand once more for a waltz And I'd do it all over again We found a treasure there under the pines That time will take from us soon We built a life, and did it with nothing But iron pots ---- and wooden spoons |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Amos Date: 06 Nov 02 - 12:21 AM Notes: "This Time Again", Anne Gregson, UK (with permission kindly granated by the author) Artist: KarenK ""I learned this in 1999 -- don't know if you remember when "Catspaw" (Pat Patterson of the Mudcat) was really sick and in the hospital for a long time. I posted this song after he turned the corner and things started looking good for him. I then went to the 1999 Washington Getaway and sang this at the Mudcat workshop. Later, when I got quite sick myself, Catspaw posted part of this song in an email to me. It's a special song to me with a tie to the Mudcat. Mudcatter Kath Westra cries when she hears me do this song. This was recorded in Sept 1999 at a gospel sing in South Dartmouth Massachusetts in a 1700's Quaker meetinghouse with great acoustics and about 50 voices joining in." |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Chris Amos Date: 06 Nov 02 - 02:18 AM Amos, You're more than welcome any time you are in the area (south Essex UK.) Chris |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: ConcertinaChap Date: 06 Nov 02 - 08:32 AM This story about the song "This Time Again" moves me a lot. My partner Anne wrote it (though - don't tell anyone - I did contribute 2 verses) and it has for long been a favourite song of our repertoire. But the amazing thing is that, considering we're Brits, we know these places. We stayed a few days in South Dartmouth a few years back, with our friends Jim and Cindy Bean. I've not been inside the Quaker meeting house, but I've seen the outside. Furthermore, a year or so before KarenK, we sang the song ourselves at the Washington Getaway. We are both delighted to see the song here, and can't wait to hear it. Chris Timson |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: John P Date: 06 Nov 02 - 08:48 AM A couple of days ago open mike wrote, without getting an answer: "ok i went to the other thread and did not answer my questions--what is it?? how does one get one of their own?? how much?? does the proceeds support the "cat" or what?? being a strawberry music fest. afficionado, the name strikes a chord with me..is the strawberry one available solo, or is it a boxed set of sorts?? more info please--& how does one contribute a tune to such a rainbow project as this?? is there going to be an infra-red or ultra volet compilation? Laurel" I, too, am seeking answers to some of these questions. I know the answers are all here somewhere, but I finding them would be a lengthy task. Is it possible to have a thread that deals with the business of the CDs and doesn't include all the interpersonal chatter that my two or three hours a week at the computer doesn't give me time or inclination to read? If such a thread exists, could someone point me at it? Thanks! John Peekstok |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Amos Date: 06 Nov 02 - 09:18 AM John, I did answer open mic by PM, thinking he hadn't been tracking the flow of the story in earlier threads. I'll PM you. Essentially Dick Greenhaus, CAMSO Music, will be the production and distribution point and will set the price point. THe master disks should arrive there this Friday or Monday latest. As soon as ordering is possible I will defionitely be announcing it all over, many times, loudly! A |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Stephen L. Rich Date: 06 Nov 02 - 01:10 PM Under the category of "Odd But True". I had bits of Art's Chicago song running through my head and was sort of wondering if there was a recorded source for it the day before this thread was posted. I'm tickled that it's on here (not to mention being on the same disc with it) and very glad that I read this thread before making an ass of myself by posting a thread asking where I might find the song.

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie Date: 06 Nov 02 - 03:57 PM Amos, I see you decided to include the "new-agey-est," and schmaltziest of my songs for this CD. (No objection, mind you, since it has 3-part harmony and is one of my best quality recordings -- but you're the one who said it was "sweet.") I can post the lyrics and chords here if that's appropriate. I'll PM michaelr the exact way the credits should read. It's a song I composed for a Unitarian-Universalist Church summer camp on the theme of (you guessed it) "Harmony," back in 1986 (IIRC). (Gotta double check that © date.) Since then, I added a chorus/refrain to make the song more singable in groups without sheet music. And I added a verse, too. Really looking forward to hearing these CDs, folks! Genie |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: The Shambles Date: 06 Nov 02 - 04:21 PM The song listed as 'Present Conpany Excepted', appears in The Mudcat Songbook (with a bit of explanation/blub) under the title of 'The Bigot's Song'. The Bigot's Song It probably matters little but perhaps The Bigot's Song (Present Company Excepted) would be a compromise, if it would fit? Also The Shanbles is Roger Gall. I look forward to hearing the 'big band' sound I have always felt the song required between the verses and has on the (home) version I recorded. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 02 - 03:48 PM Roger: You can have it listed as you preferred -- just PM MichaelR how it should be. My error -- I made an assumption based on the lyrics, but I didn't mean to alter your song's name. Best regards, A |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: dick greenhaus Date: 07 Nov 02 - 06:38 PM The disks will be available from CAMSCO Music. All proceeds will go to Mudcat. I haven't set any prices yet, because I haven't received the disks nor the artwork, and I don't know what it will cost me to produce. Believe me, I'm not out to screw the Mudcat (assuming that one could screw a mudcat. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Big Mick Date: 07 Nov 02 - 06:42 PM Dick, I don't believe anyone suggested that. And in case someone is thinking it, let me assure you. This whole thing that Dick does is pretty much a labor of love. If you don't believe that, then read the history of the DT. Those of us who know you as a friend understand that you are one of those folks that is in this to keep passing it on. Dick's prices are designed for stayin' alive, not gettin' ahead. Mick |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 02 - 07:09 PM My God, Dick!! I certainly hope I never said anything that implied you would ever try such a thing!! I have made it clear from the beginning you were doing this pro bono Mufdcatto and if I ever hear anyone even think you are remiss in any way, I will make violin strings outta 'em. If I haven't made it REAL clear, your goodwill is the thing that is making the realization of this whole CD project possible!! But, remember, sheep lie!! Very best regards, Amos |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie Date: 07 Nov 02 - 09:32 PM Here are the liner notes for my song which Amos so graciously included in the Strawberry Mudcat CD (because he thought it was "sweet.") Genie Harmony (One Out Of Many) words & music by R. Jeanene Pratt © 1988; 1990* Many instruments and melodies, Many textures in one tapestry, Chorus: Many colors, each with its own name, Many creatures, marvelous to see, Chorus Many roots must feed one growing tree, One true light from vantages diverse; Last Chorus: ©1988 R. Jeanene Pratt, Portland, OR
*The song was written for a Unitarian-Universalist summer camp in 1988 (theme: "Harmony"), without a chorus or verse #4. I added the chorus in 1990 to make it a better group sing-along song, and also added verse #4 that year. The version on this CD is the original five verses sans chorus, recorded in 1988.
And here is how the chords go. Harmony (One Out Of Many) C G C ... (Chorus ) ... |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Amos Date: 07 Nov 02 - 10:04 PM Well, objectively and scientifically, I submitted these words and notes to an advanced aesthetology testng lab who ran it through their Emotive Cross-Semantic Coupled Spectrometer and Gravity Detector system. Their verdict? "Strongly structured and sweet". See? The ol' man's still got it, kid!! A |
