No problem, Alice. I thought others would like reading some of these older threads as well. Glad you're enjoying it.

Subject: RE: Origins of: Found on Mudcat From: Peter T. Date: 05 Aug 01 - 11:23 AM Yes, George/Alice, you have caught a lot of them, Water is Wide, Carrickfergus, Greensleeves, Shenandoah, Tom Dooley, She Moved Through the Fair, etc. I think it is a great crosscutting index (you can see the scholarly version in the "I Wish, I Wish" thread, but this is way more fun). yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Origins of: Found on Mudcat From: catspaw49 Date: 05 Aug 01 - 11:22 AM I don't think it happens as much as it used to, but every time that "Cool Hand Like" played on some nationwide cable station, we would get requests for "Plastic Jesus." I agree on the Permathread idea. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Origins of: Found on Mudcat From: catspaw49 Date: 05 Aug 01 - 10:15 AM Now that we have a PermaThread, I will not be doing this consolidation. Sorry that we cannot undo the first few I did get to. You'll all be listed under "Catspaw" for these few, forever.*BG*
Thanks, kat
Been having a good time haven't you George? That's a really fine compilation too......I think I'll bookmark this one to use it as a reference for newcomer's on what can be found here. I always suggest that they do a forum search for old threads and this list will be another starting point I think. GREAT JOB!!!! Spaw ********************

Subject: RE: Origins of: Found on Mudcat What a great thread/link. How about a Perma-Thread for the top 50 requested folk songs on Mudcat, and the linked threads? "50 Most Requested Folk Songs: Links" or something. Just a thought. yours, Peter T. ****************
Subject: RE: Origins of: Found on Mudcat Yes, I've been having a good time the last couple of days. Dark Island Still room for more.... ****************
Subject: RE: Origins of: Found on Mudcat A compilation thread to tie together all the threads on a specific song. My guess is there would be about 50 or 60 we get asked about all the time. ***************

Subject: Origins of: Found on Mudcat From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 05 Aug 01 - 09:56 AM Looking through the various threads on the Mudcat, I've been going through learning about where some of these songs come from. Here are some of these threads. Lots more there. 12 Days of Christmas Amazing Grace Amelia's Waltz Barbara Allen Barbara Allen Carrick Fergus Carrick Fergus Carrickfergus Casey Jones Chastity Belt Cotton Eyed Joe Dona Dona Fiddler's Green House of the Rising Sun I Wish I Wish Jimmy Cracked Corn John Henry Lavender Blue/Dilly Dilly Loch Lomand Londonderry Air/Danny Boy Merrily Kissed the Quaker's Wife Mingulay Boat Song My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean Peggy Gordon/Caledonia/When I First Went To Caledonia Roll me over in the Clover Rose of Allendale Scarborough Fair She Moved Through the Fair Shenandoah Show Me The Way To Go Home Soldier's Joy Spancil Hill Tom Dooley Trad British Isles' Songs Waly Waly Water is Wide, and other tie-ins Water Is Wide Water Is Wide Water Is Wide Water Is Wide Wild Colonial Boy Wild Mountain Thyme Wild Rover Yankee Doodle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The alphabetised list has been moved to its own Song Origins PermaThread. You may continue to post additions to this thread, or its follow-up (when it gets too long) OR, post them directly into the PermaThread, but remember the PermaThread will be edited, so comments and contributions will not be permanent there, except the links added to the list. Thanks, again, George, this really is amazing! kat Search for "Found on Mudcat" threads |
