It's a deal Bill! I guess I'm more partial to brown or red. I'll send the same amount of money to Mudcat that "the other Mary" sent! Thanks. You've made my day.

PS Now, I'll have to make myself one of those cute little quilted bags all the show-offs keep their picks and noters in.

Oh yes, I'll have "Wildwood Flower" going over and over and over in my head until the new handy-dandy, BillD, one-of-a-kind, hardwood noter arrives!

All my head has in it at the moment is sawdust stuffing.
I've just had a wonderful folk camping weekend in Sussex. Great beer, fantastic singing and very late nights/early mornings. Worth every minute but awful on a Monday morning, especially when you've got a driving test later in the day.
A gallon or so of tea should sort me out by then - I hope!!!!!!

After looking at a couple of threads where people are not playing very nicely, I went to the "Mister Rogers" thread to get some fresh air. Now I have "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" going through my head. Could be worse. . . .

I spent the weekend singing Sacred Harp. Lots of the tunes whirl around my head afterwards, but today it's been a tune called Cleburne by S.M Denson. The words are "All hail the power of Jesus' name."

'Lament for the Hull Trawlers' - I've just been checking the words of my Frankie Armstrong LP and can't get the haunting tune out of my head.
Alice, the song you're looking for (post 506654 above) could be All the tunes in the world by Mudcatter Ewan McVicar. There is a short older thread on it but the link there is obsolete. Can anything be done about this? (Sorry - sneaking off to the technical forum ...)

"Sweetest Nights and Days of Ease", a love song by J. Seanna Rowe (that's me).

"Every day you're away from me
I say a little prayer
To keep you safe and loved and free

And if when you are far away
and wishing I were there
I'll send you coloured memories

of sweetest night and days of ease
Of dancing in the summer breeze"

I've been practising it in my head for a few days now in preparation for recording it to put up on my mp3.com website. (and I do hope it doesn't take as long as that last four I put up there over TWO weeks ago!! [/rant])

Because I've been reading about the origin of sea shanties, I am hooked on "We're Off to South Australia" at the moment.

A hungover and a generally liverish feeling (why o why do I drink rum?) from a cracking evening at Sharp's yesterday.
Compounded by Doris bloody Day singing Que sera.
All together now...
Will I be bilious,
Will I be sick...?

It's one of those songs that turns itself into an earworm when I'm feeling below par, and it's insufferable saccharine jollity is driving me MAD at the moment!

A lovely reel from Lunasa's new album, 'The Three Merry Sisters of Fate'. Sorry can't remember the name of the tune but if you've got the CD its the first tune in a set and is just played on the fiddle.

PS also 'Eternal Flame' after having read the Atomic Kitten thread. Groan.

John McKusker's "Dalnabreac", as recorded on the Battlefield Band's Quiet Days CD. Listened to it last night. The melody always lingers with me long after I hear it. Absolutely beautiful! John's one helluva fiddler. PDB.
