Subject: RE: Mudcatter's CD's Part 2 From: InOBU Date: 06 Aug 02 - 09:19 PM Lorcan "Larry" Otway's CD with Sorcha Dorcha, the name of which is Nil Sasta Ach Amadain (Only Idiots are Satisfied) $15 US, available by Emailing me at InOBU@aol.com Swifts' Modest Proposal.is a joyful celebration of the deal which brings MazzMlani Swift into the band. It is comprised of the jigs Leitrim Thrush and An Phis Fluich ( a very old Willy Clancy tune—from his father, the name of which cannot be said in English on the air ). Engine 33: As we were finishing this CD, the tragic events of September 11, 2001 unfolded in our city. I wrote this song for the heroes of this horrific event. It focuses on the Firefighters, for the most part , of our local firehouse, who lost a quarter of their number. In that morning New York lost close to the same number of firefighters as were lost in the entire history of our fire department. The song is dedicated to all the Firefighters, Police Officers, Court Officers, and others who ran into danger so that others might come out again. Yvette's Song: Words by Lorcan Otway, Tune traditional, is a true story, written about an Innu friend from Mani Utenam, Quebec, who has triumphed over attempts to destroy her culture and who now struggles to stop the destruction of her land by Hydro Electric dams and Mines. Dick Turpin - Blarney Pilgrim :Notes on Dick Turpin from our friend Kevin McGrath of Harlow, England… ...here's an extract from the Gentleman's Magazine of the time, about the execution on April 7 1739 (taken from a book about highwaymen called Stand and Deliver by Patrick Pringle): The notorious Richard Turpin and John Stead, were executed at York for horse-stealing. Turpin behaved in an undaunted manner; as he mounted the ladder, feeling his right leg tremble, he stamped it down, and looking around him with an unconcerned air, he spoke a few words to the topsman, then threw himself off, and expired in five minutes. He declared himself to be the notorious highwayman Turpin, and confessed to a great number of robberies, and that he shot the man that came to apprehend him on Epping Forest, and King, his own companion, undesignedly, for which latter he was very sorry. He gave £3 10s to five men who were to follow the cart as mourners, with hatbands and gloves to them and several others. Jumping off the ladder was an unusual way to do it. Maybe he had some cunning plan. It made for a speedier death - but required courage. _________ Note from Lorcan… I have heard that the crowd then rushed the gallows and cut him down and that he was never pronounced dead, but was rumored to have lived out his life among Scottish Romanichales (Gypsies).
The Ballad of Richard Murray: Words Lorcan Otway, Tune Traditional. When I was a child in the 15th Street Quaker Meeting, Anna L. Curtis would tell us stories about her family. Her Grandmother was a conductor on the Underground Railroad. This is a song I wrote from a true story from the telling of Anna L. Curtis.
Amadou Diallo: Words by Lorcan Otway, Tune traditional, is about the racial blindness which led to the tragic killing of a fine young man in New York. Shortly after I wrote this song, Vice President Gore asked why a wallet in the hands of a White man in America looks like a wallet, while the same in the hands of a Black man in America looks like a gun. I hope that we may, by acknowledging the history of Africa and her people, end the process of racialization which makes Black people in this nation, so often invisible.

Subject: RE: Mudcatter's CD's Part 2 From: Cappuccino Date: 06 Aug 02 - 02:56 PM Hi, John from Hull, thanks for the interest. We are Health help International, a big name for about 6 of us. We establish, staff, and equip clinics in parts of remote Zambia where people may be hundreds of miles from the nearest hospital, and may never have met a doctor in their lives. We pay for their healthcare when necessary if they have to be taken into a hospital, and we establish similar resources - we've just founded two schools for the deaf, as deaf children are 'the forgotten ones' in Zambia. (No use sending them a CD, then!) In Nedumangad, India, we support a former worker for Mother Theresa, who works among the very poor, and who tells us of severe medical cases needing attention... sometimes the cost of treatment will be many times what they would earn in a lifetime. He gets them into hospital, we pay for it. Nobody in the charity takes any money or expenses... so the CDs are paid for by the musicians. Thanks for being interested! - Ian B

Subject: RE: Mudcatter's CD's Part 2 From: hesperis Date: 05 Aug 02 - 07:07 PM My one-woman band, Between the Worlds
ONE Tslil Zugeem is an Israeli traditional, unfortunately I do not know the words, so it is done in a low panflute. Everything else is original, either sung or a multi-textured instrumental. The lyrics are the high point of this album, though I have received quite a few very nice comments about my voice. *Blush*
It's about 50% final right now, and I'm working fast on the rest. It will probably take at least two weeks, possibly a month to be absolutely final. Presales are welcomed, and would really help to make this happen. Thanks! Hope you like it. |

Subject: RE: Mudcatter's CD's Part 2 From: Cappuccino Date: 05 Aug 02 - 01:55 PM If you can handle Christian folk-blues with a slightly irreverent and rebellious twist, try our CD 'In Real Life', which is probably unique in having the Bible, a pint of beer and a pack of ciggies on the same cover. The electric blues follow up, just as rebellious, is 'Shake Off the Dust' (a quote from the Gospels). PM to me or visit www.skywriter.demon.co.uk for details - no purchase price, but donation to our charity appreciated. - Ian B |

This is actually a Boat Band recording, but made domestically with very low production values as a teaching aid/memory-jogger for sale at the workshops we do on local traditional music. Welsh Row is a street in Nantwich with a lot of pubs on it: no reference is intended to the noise made by our musicianly neighbours in Sheep Country a few miles west.
