Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: BlueJay Date: 31 Mar 11 - 01:43 AM Great stuff, LEJ. The way the photos work with the music is wonderful. And as a former railroader, I really enjoy Southern Flyer. Really nice work. Thanks, BlueJay |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 31 Mar 11 - 08:17 AM I loved the Southern Flyer too, should work well with a washboard/ trainwhistle backing! Great images too. Now, when you've got the bouzouki licked, Ernie, you'll have to use the photos from your Greek trip! RtS |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 02 Apr 11 - 08:00 PM This is the song that will be on the upcoming Mudcat CD that Bradfordian is working on. Rosalie |

|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: GUEST,999 Date: 03 Apr 11 - 10:30 AM What a beautiful song and what a great voice you have. Man, I love it, Ernie. As Amos said on the Youtube site, please post the lyrics. 10/10, and if the numbers went higher it'd be 15/10. Thank you very much. Bruce M |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 03 Apr 11 - 10:37 AM Coming from you guys that means a lot to me. And yes, I'll post the lyrics today. |

|
Subject: LYR ADD: Rosalie by Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 03 Apr 11 - 11:08 AM Rosalie As requested, the lyrics. I also posted them on the video comments, but I think it takes hours for any changes to register, so here y'are. Rosalie Sweet Rosalie of mine See how the love within her shines through the miles between us, dark and deep like the stars I see her as she sleeps The watchfires dwindling in the camp The Captain writing by his lamp The sentry listens for any sound across a darkened battleground Back there the whitetails roam the pines The hillside is blue with columbines The river tumbles cold and free Those mountain summers hold me The bugle calls us as we lay We'll cross that field at break of day and dying holds no fear for me except to lose you, Rosalie |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 03 Apr 11 - 11:36 AM Gosh. Reading the words brings visions, emotions and a few goosebumps. Stop blushing. >;-) |

|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Apr 11 - 11:44 PM Almost 10 years ago now, I had a very odd dream. In this dream, John Lennon sang a song to me about a rainbow. There was nothing strange or saint-like or anything about John in this dream. It was as though a friend of mine were sharing a song with me. I remembered the melody and the first verse after I woke up, and I sat down with a pen and paper and wrote the rest of the song. And so, with a dedication to John, and to all of you flower children, here's The Rainbow. Peace. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 08 Apr 11 - 08:37 AM Another great one! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 08 Apr 11 - 04:35 PM And here is David Coffin performing Shanty for Barry Finn Turn it up and sing along on the refrain!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Dave Swan Date: 08 Apr 11 - 05:18 PM First posting lost. I'll say it again. Great stuff Leej. Really fine. Thanks. Hard to sing past the lump in my throat. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: katlaughing Date: 08 Apr 11 - 11:43 PM Well, jeepers! I lost track of this thread for a bit and lookie what you've posted! WOW! Love the Rainbow and couldn't listen to the Shanty for Barry without crying my eyes out. You are one of the best writers, of songs, prose, and poetry, I've ever know LeeJ. THANKS for sharing with us! Oh, and Ken Burns would have done well to have included your Rosalie in his Civil War series. It exceeds most of what he included and definitely would have relieved the tedium of repetition! Beautiful song. luvyakat |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 25 Apr 11 - 12:27 AM A couple of years ago, I was riding my bicycle along the Platte River and thinking about the many friends and good times at the FSGW Getaway. Along with these thoughts, a tune came into my mind that kept revolving until it eventually spun out the chorus of this song, and by the time the ride was over, most of the rest of it was complete as well. Did a little research to give a bit of historical depth, and here it is and hope y'all enjoy it... The Rendezvous |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Janie Date: 25 Apr 11 - 12:36 AM Nice one! Has me smiling with similar memories. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 15 May 11 - 06:00 PM Better and better. Hooahh? Yooahh! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 15 May 11 - 09:20 PM Had some fun putting this one together for Amos. It's his version of Vincent Black Lightning. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: katlaughing Date: 15 May 11 - 09:45 PM Darn it, LeeJ...I need several hankies every time I listen to one of your songs. Ya've either got me crying for beauty and joy or poignant sadness as in the song about Justin. Thank you, darlin'. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Amos Date: 15 May 11 - 09:52 PM That last one is your most pow'ful work yet, Lonesome. My hat's off to ya. The best modern war song I have heard yet. A |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Janie Date: 15 May 11 - 10:39 PM Justin McQueen is absolutely....absolute?!!!! Keep 'em comin', LEJ. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 16 May 11 - 03:05 PM Well, that was a hard song to do, but it had to come out. My significant other says she thinks I get hung up on sad songs, and I guess Justin, and A Song for You, and Rosalie kind of bear that out. What can I say? This world is downright tragic sometimes, which I suppose makes the bright side brighter. It doesn't change the fact of what is happening in places like Afghanistan though. I thought of a mother who was interviewed on NPR about her young son that was killed there. She said she was told he was a hero, and that he had lived a good life, by the Army spokesman. She said he was only a boy, and never had a chance to really live any kind of life at all, much less a "good one". We get used to seeing the names and closing our eyes to the truth of it. I watched it happen yesterday, like I watched it happen 40 years ago, like it has happened since we began fighting each other. I know there are reasons for fighting, and I know these soldiers died for those reasons. But I see these kids at the airports looking like pink-cheeked children in fatigues and I can't help but think ...what a waste. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Janie Date: 16 May 11 - 10:44 PM It really struck a true note, Ernie. "A soldier based at Ft. Bragg..." or "A Marine based at Camp Lejeune... died yesterday in Afghanistan...." comes over my radio several times a month, and sometimes several times a week, during the local news portion of NPR. Some of them homegrown North Carolina boys, many more from places all across these United States. I listen to the sparse details, which always includes the age of the soldier. Corporal__________, age 21. Private ___________, age 19. Sargeant __________age 23. It stops the heart to think about. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 19 Jun 11 - 07:33 PM Moons of Saturn This one was written for a very special person in my life. She knows who she is! A special thanks go to Kim Anderson for some stellar violin work, and to Doug Williamson for a tasteful touch on the upright bass. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: olddude Date: 19 Jun 11 - 08:00 PM It is beautiful .. thank you for sharing wow |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Jun 11 - 03:01 AM The West Wind Thanks to the excellent songwriter Mr George Papavgveris for his suggestions. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Jun 11 - 03:03 AM Sorry George..that's PAPAVGERIS. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 20 Jun 11 - 11:18 AM I like it. Then again, I knew I would. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 08 Aug 11 - 01:06 AM The Willow Garden, a traditional song. I really like the violin solo by Mr Kim Anderson. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: olddude Date: 08 Aug 11 - 05:37 PM Great Stuff ... thanks ... great stuff |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 09 Aug 11 - 02:42 AM Doin my level best to make heroes out of outlaws, here's Billy Bonney. |

|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: John Hardly Date: 09 Aug 11 - 08:06 PM "This video is private" |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 10 Aug 11 - 12:44 AM That one would be an earlier version, John. In the text it will say "please see the new remixed video at www.blahblah." Just click and paste the address. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 30 Aug 11 - 02:41 AM I sat in on a jam at the Colorado Midwinter Bluegrass Festival last February, and there was a grizzled, skinny elderly gentleman in a Wyoming Cowboys baseball cap playing a pretty hot fiddle. Someone asked him if he knew a certain song, and he replied "I'm not sure how it goes, but I know how it went." That cracked everybody up, and the phrase stuck with me. Anyhow, I turned it into a song dedicated to all the old timers who blazed the old bluegrass trail, and I hope y'all like it. How It Went |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 19 Oct 11 - 07:07 PM I uploaded How It Went to Soundclick and it has moved up to #13 on the Country/Bluegrass Chart. If some of you good folks out there could take a minute, just click here, scroll down to the song, give it a listen and rate it 5 stars (or 4 or 3 or...hey c'mon!)and lets see if we can push 'er up to number one! Hoping for some positive Mudcat power here! Love you all! LEJ |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Oct 11 - 01:57 AM Hey its up to Number 7!!! Keep it up and I'll buy everybody a shot of Bourbon in the Mudcat Tavern when it hits #1 |
|

|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: olddude Date: 21 Oct 11 - 07:01 PM Absolutely wonderful !!! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 21 Oct 11 - 07:09 PM Great video :) |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Oct 11 - 07:20 PM I really appreciate the response. thanks! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 Oct 11 - 02:40 PM How it Went up one position to #6 today! Thanks to those who have tuned in! If you get a chance check out Muleskinner Blues by Monroe Crossing, which is the number 5 song on the chart. Amazing mandolin playing! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 11 - 12:33 AM This is one I wrote a few years back, and one I do with my Blues-Rock band. I like to introduce it by saying "this is one Buddy Holly might have written if he'd survived long enough to become a cynic". Hey, it 50s-style rock, and all in good fun... Hey Baby |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Janie Date: 14 Nov 11 - 05:40 AM Nice one! Also, just want to comment on how well the slide shows are always done. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Allan C. Date: 14 Nov 11 - 05:45 AM I was just now thinking of when I first met you and how reticent you were with regard to playing and/or singing. All I can say is: Goodonya!! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 11 - 11:20 AM Yes, Allen. I've never really been shy, but feel a bit more confident on my solo stuff now. And thanks, Janie, the slide shows are fun to do, and make you think about the real meaning of the song. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 11 - 11:26 AM Here is a video of my song on the "Until the Dark Time Ends" CD. If you have heard the cut on the CD, you may notice this is a slightly different take on it. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Amos Date: 14 Nov 11 - 12:01 PM I like Hey, Baby a whole lot, Ernie; shades of Buddy Holly. You and Peace should work something up together! A |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 14 Nov 11 - 02:34 PM "but feel a bit more confident on my solo stuff now" NO WONDER! As usual... |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: GUEST,999 Date: 14 Nov 11 - 02:56 PM Ernie, I love it. Man, you have a great ear for both arrangement and 'sound'. Thank you for posting these links. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 11 - 03:18 PM Don't worry, when I get signed by a major label and can hire musicians for the US Tour, you guys all get a seat on the bus. And all the PBR you can drink and Kentucky fried chicken you can eat, any time you want some. And Amos can play while we're rollin. I'm sure that kind of livin could take at least 5 years off of our average life expectancies, but talk about F-U-N! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 11 - 05:00 PM Wow. How old is "God rest Ye Merry gentlemen"? Just received notice of a possible copyright issue. Apparently some rights to this ancient song belong to Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society. In the words of Michael Stipe "buy the sky and sell the sky". |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Janie Date: 14 Nov 11 - 10:18 PM You're kidding?!! (Which was probably your first thought when you received the notice?) |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: GUEST,999 Date: 14 Nov 11 - 10:31 PM Tell them to get stuffed. Just say you did an arrangement of an older version, Ernie. Ain't NO copyright judge in the world gonna mess with that. I bet you're older than the copyright. Fuck 'em! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 11 - 10:39 PM Well, by God, I agree 3x9! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: GUEST,999 Date: 14 Nov 11 - 10:57 PM "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen (also known as God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen) is an English traditional Christmas carol. The melody is in Aeolian mode. It was published by William B. Sandys in 1833, although the author is unknown.[1]" Read you 5 X 5 good buddy. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: GUEST,999 Date: 14 Nov 11 - 11:04 PM In fact, I will do my best to get a take of GRYMG onto Youtube real soon, and the MFs can send me the notice, too. The Aeolian mode predates copyright by at least two thousand years. Let them explain THAT to a judge! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 11 - 11:23 PM when you do, post it here wouldja? |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: GUEST,999 Date: 15 Nov 11 - 10:12 AM Didn't mention: that's a neat arrangement of GRYMG. I have some medical stuff to deal with, and after that I'll be able to ger 'er done. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Nov 11 - 03:10 PM Moonshiner The traditional song, this follows the Uncle Tupelo arrangement. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 26 Nov 11 - 03:15 PM Who's on harmonica? |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Nov 11 - 03:16 PM Tha's me |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 28 Nov 11 - 12:09 AM From the Preston Drive-in south of Louisville Kentucky, you could see a big rock outcropping on a ridge nearby. This was called Devil's Backbone, and it would catch the last rays of sun going down before the movie started. The name caught my interest at the age of 12, a connotation that bad things might happen up there, or had happened. Anyway, this song is about a love affair gone wrong. The Devil's Backbone |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 05 Dec 11 - 12:06 AM Dangerously close to rock and roll on this one... Long Time |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 05 Dec 11 - 01:35 PM Love em. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Janie Date: 05 Dec 11 - 09:20 PM Ernie, maybe it is my 'puter, but I don't think so - I couldn't get the volume up enough to really hear the song well. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Janie Date: 05 Dec 11 - 09:29 PM ditto Devil's Backbone. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 Dec 11 - 01:29 AM It has to be turned up fairly loud on mine, but sounds pretty good through my speakers, Janie. I know the file plays well through my car stereo and home stereo. Let me know and I can send the file and you can knock it off to CD, or I could just send a CD. I really like the electric guitar on Long Time. With all of the acoustic instruments, I wasn't sure how a Fender Strat would sound but it blends well into the mix, and Jack Unruh, who also plays in my rock/blues band Terraplane, manages to get a very Danny Kirwan era Fleetwood Mac-ish tone on it, to my ear. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 Dec 11 - 03:42 PM A re-mix of Hey Baby Added new bass track, electric guitar. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 09 Dec 11 - 07:16 PM A beautiful song by our own Jean Ritchie. Cool of the Day |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Dec 11 - 04:44 PM Free You An original song. CAUTION: Rock music ahead! |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 21 Dec 11 - 06:37 PM Gee...that's the first one I didn't really care for. Not because it is a "bad" song in ANY way but because the recording quality left me trying to figure out the lyrics and thereby left me without the ability to enjoy it or even "care for it". I guess, overall, I just didn't "hear" the song so I COULDN'T really care for it. I hope you sort that out on accounta I would really like to "hear" it. Hope that doesn't sound to... whatever. Just my opinion. You know I LOVE yer stuff. But, that one got 45 seconds, tops. If I can't make out the lyrics, I am gone. I really hope you give it another go. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Dec 11 - 08:53 PM Well, dealing with amplified instruments is a new thing with me, and especially getting the vocal balanced so it doesn't dominate or get lost in the mix, gnu. I appreciate the feedback and will give it a fresh listen, and possibly remix it. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 Dec 11 - 01:33 PM I first saw Brendan Devereaux' tribute to his Grandparents, Liberty Hall, because of a link he posted here on Mudcat. His own version is really powerful, but I pictured a version with photos of the Easter Rebellion and Brendan was gracious enough to grant his permission. Here's my version of Liberty Hall. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 22 Dec 11 - 01:49 PM Thanks LEJ. Maybe someone who knows what they are talking about can offer suggestions. I am looking forward to hearing your efforts. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Amos Date: 22 Dec 11 - 03:36 PM A wonderful holiday to you, LEJ--you make the world a better place. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 Dec 11 - 03:57 PM Thanks, A. And the same to you, in keepin' wit' th' Season. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Bobert Date: 22 Dec 11 - 04:55 PM I donno??? I think you and Bruce Murdock would battle well into the 15th round if ya'll were to tangle in a "Battle of the Folk Musicans"... Nice stuff, EeeeeeeeeeeeJaaaaaaaaaaaa... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Deskjet Date: 22 Dec 11 - 05:16 PM What can I say Lonesome EJ, but that I'm genuinely moved by your version of Liberty Hall Thank you, Brendan Devereux. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 Dec 11 - 05:50 PM Brendan, I am really glad..and a bit relieved...that you like it! ;>) |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 Dec 11 - 06:42 PM Ever notice how, when it rains, it's mainly the poor who get wet? Here's my take on the Randy Newman song Louisiana 1927 By the way, I'm on vacation this week, so finally having the opportunity to finish some of these projects. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 Jan 12 - 01:32 PM I started doing these videos back in March of 2011 and it's been a lot of fun. I certainly appreciate all of the support and kind comments from the Mudcat family on these efforts. One of the side benefits is the number of musician friends I have been able to coerce into participating, and have become friends with as a result. The views of the 29 videos on my channel are now approaching 12,000 according to the Youtube stats. About 70 percent of the views are from people 55-63 years old, and 90 percent from men. So come on ladies! :>) The most interesting phenomena is the way this video has taken off. Since I uploaded it on Nov 26, it has generated over 1,000 views. 96 percent are in the US. Over 50 percent of the views are coming from "mobile devices". I am puzzled by the popularity of this video. The harp work is pretty good I think, the guitar is ok, and the vocal was maybe my 5th or 6th attempt and I'm still not liking it. Maybe the fact that there is a reality show on tv in the US with a similar name accounts for it? Maybe there's something about illegal activity in general that has spurred it. Whatever the reason, its currently getting over 100 views a day, which is more than all of the others by a good margin. And 11 percent of those are women, which also beats my average :>) |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 06 Jan 12 - 02:23 PM Quite a bit different from the version by The Clancy's I heard as a lad but still good. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 Jan 12 - 03:38 PM Well thanks gnu, that's one more view in Canada. Yeah, pretty melancholy take on the song. You could do a jig to some of the versions I have heard. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 Jan 12 - 03:53 PM I just read Olddude's thread about the 8000 downloads of his song Lightnin' Road and now I get it. Who would have thought the tv show "Moonshiners" would be affecting Mudcatters and their music? |

Fortunately others found them after a small silence & we finished. sandra |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 Feb 12 - 12:23 PM LOL. Sandra. we have all been there. I am notorious with the other members of my blues band for making up lyrics on the spur of the moment when I've forgotten the real ones. Some I like, others are complete throwaways with meaningless rhymes. Nobody in the audience seems to know or care, though. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 16 Feb 12 - 12:30 AM This song had its beginnings here on Mudcat, on the Poetry corner thread actually. As a kid I loved Halloween, as most kids do, I think. As I grew older, I began to see the very elemental nature of this holiday, its strange appeal that transcends the notions of costume-wearing and trick-or-treating. The Celts knew it as Beltane, one of the four corners of the turning year. They believed that the life we know exists in parallel to other worlds, that there were doors between this world and others, the living and dead, the ordinary and the magical, that opened at these times of year. This song is about the Beltane Time, about Halloween, and the strange excited intuition that all of us have about that time of year. Magic |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 07 Mar 12 - 08:21 PM This song was originally written for the Mudcat Peace in Ireland Song challenge, and I finally put a tune to it, and just in time for St Patrick's! Between the time this was written and now, Northern Ireland has done the unbelieveable and made peace between its divided people, so this song that was written in hope, has become one of celebration. I hope the people of Ireland continue to show the World that Peace is possible. The Provo's Song of Peace |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Mar 12 - 06:56 PM @ 2581 I often re-mix a song with added or changed audio track. when I do, I don't delete the old track, I convert it to Private access. This is probably what you are seeing. In the description, I will usually note "see the newly remixed version at youtube/address.com," or whatever the address of the remixed video is. Clicking on that address, or copying and pasting it, will get you to the new public access version. Or visit my channel at Macfeeley where all of the viewable videos are displayed. Sorry for the confusion. I may be confusing others as well, and may consider deleting the older versions. Thanks. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 02 Apr 12 - 02:40 AM This is a traditional song celebrating the virtues of ignoring clodbusters in favor of those adventuresome fellows who go to Sea. Ladies, while they may have less time with you than their farmer counterparts, it's quality, not quantity that counts, right? Anyway, this one's dedicated to a true Mudcat Hero, Captain Kendall Morse(even though I am quite sure he'll frown on me banging the Martin D16R like a snare drum), and to all you other Blue Water Sailors...

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 May 12 - 10:51 PM The Murder at Westmill Try that one. I went back and re-mixed because the vocal was way too high in the mix. The story is the thing in this one, and it's difficult to get a vocal that is understandable enough without overpowering the instruments. This mix is more suitable. Sorry about the switch. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 May 12 - 04:50 PM I traveled to Greece in the Spring of 2011, and saw Delphi, the most sacred of spots in ancient times. Here lies the sacred spring of Castalia, and the Temples of Apollo and Athena. It was customary for those seeking fame, fortune, or any knowledge of what the future held, to call upon the Oracle, a priestess who sat within the temple above a chasm in the rocks, inhaling the vapors that came from within the Earth which induced the gift of prophecy. The prophecies were rarely straight forward. An ancient king was told that if he were to invade an adjoining country he would witness the fall of a great kingdom, which turned out to be his own. The Greeks were believers in predestination, and felt that each man's life was a tapestry being woven by the three spirits they called The Fates. At any time, they might cut the strands of thread from which this life was woven. These legends and the eerie beauty of Delphi gave inspiration for this admittedly strange song... The Oracle |

|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 12 Nov 12 - 02:05 PM Beautiful ship... and song. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 12 Nov 12 - 02:25 PM Yes, a sad day when she went down, and tragic for the crew and loved ones of those lost at sea. The question of why she was there, and who was at fault for putting her in harm's way, is under investigation. Whatever the results, the Bounty should be remembered. She was a glorious sight in full sail. I chose not to include the last pictures of her as she sank. |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 12 - 01:55 AM In October, I took a trip with my daughter down to New Orleans, and then up through the Mississippi Delta. I used some photos that she took, among others, for the slide show that accompanies this song. The numbers refer to the two highways that meet at the famous crossroads near Clarksdale Mississippi 49 and 61 |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 14 Nov 12 - 03:42 PM Another good one! You should do another Bounty and include the sinking... ya might have ta tweak the song a touch to match but I think, "What the hey? Why not?" |
|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Nov 12 - 05:54 PM Well, the song has a kind of optimistic tone, despite the ship's fate, and the words "Bouty Sail away" seem to jar with the image of the ship capsizing. But that IS what happened, so let me give it some thought. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Jun 13 - 10:59 AM I have been very lucky in being able to work with two Mudcatters on song ideas, and bring them to some sort of fruition. Gary Owens works actively with a group in Canada seeking to prevent the widespread deforestation that is devastating the northern woods of his country. He asked if I would help with a song he was working on, and this is the result... Is Our Forest Really Ours Janie Endres is also a Mudcatter who has been a friend of mine for a long time, and we have sung away many a night at the Getaway. She wrote a song based on a traditional character, placing her in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina. Little Sally Walker Down in New Orleans I want to thank both Gary and Janie for letting me help with these projects. Great songs, the both of you! |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 20 Jun 13 - 11:44 AM LEJ... Thanks for your time, for your effort and for lending your talents to present my thoughts and prayers in this form. As usual, great job on both songs. Love Little Sally! |

Many don't know that I lost the ability to play due to arthritis and that I lost the ability to sing due to a couple of health problems but I hope most know how generous LEJ was to me when I asked him to help me with my song. Means a lot to me. It is a protest song. Here is why. Click on Episode 9. 11 minutes. Thanks LEJ. Yer one a the good ones. |

I don't understand (and I don't know the business) why so many good lyricists as are here don't find their songs being recorded by the "Big" boys and girls. |

When the sell price of the USD was CDN1.237 in January, I sold the works, about $700.00, to my Credit Union because the last time I used any was a couple of years ago. Just because I am so cheap, I'll wait until early summer to buy* some US green to get this and Kendall's new book. Maybe sooner if war breaks out on accounta Tar Sands oil will look pretty good on the markets. We Irish are just two whiskeys away from being as cheap as Scots. >;-) I don't do internUt commerce. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Janie Date: 11 Mar 15 - 09:34 PM "How It Went" is the one that really keeps echoing in my brain right now. The entire CD is most enjoyable. Ernie is a fine lyricist. As good as they come. Doesn't fit neatly into any box other than that of a fine storyteller in song. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 25 Mar 15 - 01:17 PM I saw the Canuck dollar heading further into the toilet with the price of oil dropping so I bit the bullet and bought USD$15 today. $4.03! You would think that our PM's reckless (illegal?) policy of bombs and bullets in Iraq and soon in Syria would prop up the CDN$ a bit for sucking up to the Brits but noooo. Apparently, killing people costs a lot of money. Sorry for the rant about war but it's on the minds of many Canucks these days. As I am sure it's on the minds of most humans with a heart and a brain. Dog help us all. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: gnu Date: 26 Mar 15 - 12:32 PM Ditto Janie. $1.35 for a US letter delivery from Canuckistan? I suppose the grocery store has to make money too, eh? Every Sobeys (HUGE company) grocery store I have been to has a Canada Post PO. And they'll soon be buying NB Liquor when they buy off the politicians. Actually, I think the politicians are already bought off but just having a hard time fulfilling their contracts. Hmmm... is there a song in that? Theme : I went to Sobeys PO and got a Dear John letter but the liquor store was next door so... |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 Jan 16 - 01:54 PM Gnu, thanks for the kind words. One of these days I want to do an album of co-written songs, including Is Our Forest Really Ours written with you, Song of the Saxons written with Amos, Little Sally Walker with Janie Endres, and Fools and Horses with David Carter, all friends from Mudcat. A great variety there, which I think only really happens when working with other writers. I have a lot of songs, especially the newer ones, on Soundcloud now. and my Youtube Channel has in excess of 100,000 views. The song you posted was based on a story told to me by my lady friend, who is from Casper Wyoming, and whose father worked for the murderer and had to testify in the trial. By the way, here's the newest song and a link for others on Soundcloud... https://soundcloud.com/ernie1949/here-we-stand |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 17 Jan 16 - 02:22 PM About 12 years ago, we had these things called Song Challenges, many of them posed by Aine down in Texas. Well, one day she was digging in her garden and found the broken pieces from a blue china jug in the ground. Of course, she wondered who it had belonged to, and who put it there, and so she issued a song challenge. I wrote these lyrics as my entry. I even remember Bert singing the words to the tune of Sweet Betsy from Pike on Mudcat Radio one night. So, quite appropriately, it took a while to unearth these lyrics and write a melody for them, but here, newly unearthed and assembled, is the Blue China Jug. Hope you enjoy the story... |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Mar 16 - 03:20 PM The warring factions battle it out in ancient towns like Baghdad, Damascus, Palmyra and Aleppo. These are cities that are among the oldest inhabited sites on earth, and they are being reduced to rubble in our time. What must life be like for people in these places who have families and dreams? Who are they, and why do they want to leave? These were some questions on my mind. The incidents of terrorism in Europe and the US are horrific, but in comparison we live in a paradise interrupted by the rare nightmare. What is it like to live in a nightmare from which you can't wake up? The Golden City of Aleppo |

|
Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 05 Apr 17 - 03:12 PM Thanks Gnu and David. The new one, Wyoming Wind, got posted on Soundcloud, which is where I usually post new material so I can listen and make any changes I feel the song needs. Then I will often create a photo slide show and put it on Youtube when I feel that the song is finished. Sometimes the photos are a challenge to put together, and the songs can be limited in their meaning by them, if you follow me. Some, like Ghost Town, are quite easy when you find the right batch of pictures. |

Subject: RE: Lonesome EJ New Youtube Videos From: Lonesome EJ Date: 03 Jun 17 - 10:30 PM I found the lyric for this very strange song while going through a notebook of papers from the early 70s. I was in a rock band at the time, and must have written this song with that in mind. Anyway, it slumbered in the dark for 40 years, like the Undead, until a few days ago when I decided to get it recorded. So, turn out the lights, make sure the windows are closed, and listen to No Shadow in the Mirror |
