Thread #2 Message #4202980 Posted By: GUEST 27-May-24 - 02:26 AM Thread Name: Folk Subject: RE: Folk
Does anyone remember a Black folksinger in New York in the 1960's named Jim Barlow? He used to perform at the Brick Floor Book Store. I'm trying to find his version of Diamond Joe.
Please see This Thread (click)
I try to avoid having threads with titles that don't indicate the contents, but I'm not going to try to fix this. You might also like to look at the Blues thread or the Mudcat Café thread. I've closed all three. I see no reason to clutter them with new stuff. They are the first three threads in the history of Mudcat. Joe Offer, Mudcat Music Editor |

Check out:Max's post, from 1996, refers to Chris Walshaw, the inventor of ABC notation. https://www.gre.ac.uk/people/rep/faculty-of-engineering-and-science/chris-walshaw abcnotation.com is of course an excellent source of songs and tunes. |

Subject: RE: Folk From: The Sandman Date: 27 May 24 - 07:17 AM in my opinion the best sources of tumes are listening to videos or alternatively music notation, abc is useful only if you have the air of the tune and if you do have that you might as well work it out by ear. here is a link to the water is wide scottish folk song https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=the+water+is+wide+you+tube+dickmilesmusic#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:64d0d201,vid:zT BARBARA ALLEN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_PoPY-mDpA |

Subject: RE: Folk From: GUEST Date: 27 May 24 - 07:40 AM You wonder if the original poster is still looking for answers nearly 28 years after asking the question. The most recent question may want a reply, though. |

Subject: RE: Folk From: Sol Date: 27 May 24 - 09:58 AM Q: Does the original poster mean 'English' Folk songs in linguistic sense or geographical sense? Just wonderin'. |

Subject: RE: Folk From: DaveRo Date: 27 May 24 - 10:27 AM I see this thread - #2 - "Folk" follows thread #1 - "Blues". There is no thread #3 and in thread #4 "The Mudcat Café" - Max introduces the forum. I wonder how 'kiwiviv" found the site back in those dial-up days? |
|
Subject: RE: Folk From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 May 24 - 11:54 AM Good eye, Dave! I read this thread months ago when I went looking for it after someone pushed #4 to the top. This is the Ur "What is Folk?" thread on Mudcat (and I can't believe I just suggested opening that can of worms!) |

Subject: RE: Folk From: Dave the Gnome Date: 02 Jun 24 - 02:45 PM Just lookng at the earlier list and noticing how many of the songs are actualy english. I'll give it a try.

Subject: RE: Folk From: Dave the Gnome Date: 02 Jun 24 - 03:22 PM I thought Universal Soldier was written by Buffy St Marie? |
|
Subject: RE: Folk From: GerryM Date: 02 Jun 24 - 10:55 PM Yes, Universal Soldier was written by Buffy Sainte-Marie, which I guess makes it Native American. Though Wikipedia says, "Since the early 1960s, Sainte-Marie claimed Indigenous Canadian ancestry, but a 2023 investigation by CBC News concluded she was born in the United States and is of Italian and English descent." |

Subject: RE: Folk From: The Sandman Date: 03 Jun 24 - 12:41 AM the Water is Wide is generally believed to be scottish, about the Marchioness of Douglas[waly waly] MacColl was English |

Subject: RE: 2024 addendum on 'Folk' thread From: Tattie Bogle Date: 03 Jun 24 - 04:34 AM Oops, slap my wrist for The Universal Soldier! And, yes, I knew about The Water is Wide: the Waly Waly version is sung quite a bit here in Scotland. And MacColl - yes, I did mention Salford. |
