Subject: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Fortunato Date: 31 Dec 08 - 09:40 AM I invite all the Mudcatters around the world to sing with Susette and I tonight, New Years Eve, and tommorrow New Years Day. Tonight 8:00pm EST we'll sing "May the Circle Be Unbroken". Tomorrow at 4:00pm EST we'll sing it again. I invite you all to sing with us, a different song if you will. Thank you all for the fellowship this year. I wish you peace and good health in the coming year. Chance Shiver |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: open mike Date: 31 Dec 08 - 12:29 PM That's 12-31 5:00pm Pacific Time "May the Circle Be Unbroken". 1-1 at 1:00pm Pacific Time we'll sing it again the 1-1-1 thing seems appropriate way to start the first day....very one-ish. is this part of a larger effort, or your personal plan? |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Fortunato Date: 31 Dec 08 - 12:48 PM Open Mike, I just thought of it this morning. It would be cool if we can get it widespread. I sent it out on my mailing list as well. Please send it out to all. best chance |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Little Robyn Date: 31 Dec 08 - 03:39 PM Is that in about 20 minutes from now? It's currently 20 to 10am on Jan 1st here in NZ. I can do that. Happy New Year! Robyn |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Little Robyn Date: 31 Dec 08 - 03:49 PM What key are we in? And are you doing it with instruments or unaccompanied? Cheers, Robyn |
|
Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Little Robyn Date: 31 Dec 08 - 03:59 PM I thought I'd better find some words so I looked it up and found a version in the Cyberhymnal It give you a tune to sing along to as well (though slightly different from the one we usually sing). Almost time? Ready, GO! |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Melissa Date: 31 Dec 08 - 04:05 PM neat plan..I'll get my bunch to sing it at 8:00 our time. |
|
Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Little Robyn Date: 31 Dec 08 - 04:11 PM Ooops, I'm a day ahead of myself! Well, I did it anyway, but that gives you a chance to sort out which words we're singing and what key. So you'll be doing your thing in about 4 hours time? If Im still awake at 2pm NZ Summer time..... We were out very late - playing my Northumbrian smallpipes up to midnight, then doing the Auld lang syne thing at the right time. That was followed by a feast and we didn't get home until 2am. So we're a bit short of sleep. Happy New Year from tomorrow! Robyn in 2009 in New Zealand |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Little Robyn Date: 31 Dec 08 - 07:26 PM The note underneath here currently says 7:25pm Mudcat time/EST. Here it's 1:25pm on NZ summer time so GMT must be 12:25 just after midnight. Am I right in thinking we start in just over 30 minutes? Robyn |

|
Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Little Robyn Date: 31 Dec 08 - 07:50 PM Have we all got the same words? Here are the words from the cyberhymnal: The words are the work of Ada Ruth Habershon (1861-1918, born in London, England), written before 1908, with music by Charles H. Gabriel (1856-1932). Will the circle be unbroken There are loved ones in the glory, Whose dear forms you often miss; When you close your earthly story, Will you join them in their bliss? Refrain Will the circle be unbroken By and by, by and by? In a better home awaiting In the sky, in the sky? In the joyous days of childhood, Oft they told of wondrous love, Pointed to the dying Savior Now they dwell with Him above. Refrain You remember songs of heaven Which you sang with childish voice, Do you love the hymns they taught you, Or are songs of earth your choice? Refrain You can picture happy gatherings Round the fireside long ago, And you think of tearful partings, When they left you here below: Refrain One by one their seats were emptied, One by one they went away; Here the circle has been broken— Will it be complete one day? Refrain 10 minutes to go... Robyn |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: open mike Date: 31 Dec 08 - 08:05 PM Will the circle be unbroken, By and by, Lord, bye and bye? There's a better home a-waiting In the sky, Lord, in the sky. I was standing by the window On one cold and cloudy day; And I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away. Lord, I told the undertaker, "Undertaker, please drive slow; For this body you are hauling, Lord, I hate to see her go" I followed close behind her, tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in the grave. Went back home, Lord, my home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone; All my brothers, sisters crying What a home so sad and lone. Now my mother, she's crossed over Where so many have gone before. And I know, Lord, I will meet her Just waiting at glory's door. |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: Jeri Date: 31 Dec 08 - 08:08 PM I sang what I remembered (before Open Mike's post). Odd that the song is not in the DT. |

Subject: RE: New Years Eve/Day Singaround the World From: MickyMan Date: 31 Dec 08 - 08:09 PM I just finished it here in Colchester, CT USA and I even got my wife and 19 year old son to join in on the double chorus ending with the elongated allelluia type ending. Hah hah, my son is still singing it in the itchen while he is getting ready for his friends to arrive for their New Years Eve get together. It felt great for me. Makes me think that I did a proper ringing in of 2009 - even though my wife and I will probably be sleeping by 10:00. Love to all the Catters who sang it with us, MickyMan |
