Subject: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 13 Aug 02 - 06:47 PM Still playin' catch-up with the Songbook . . . I've just added mousethief's 'non-jingoistic' flag song, All Hail Flag Day, to the Tome. Enjoy! (well, next July, anyway). ;-) And while I'm up and about, if I've neglected to post anyone's submission to the Songbook, please let me know. Thanks, Áine |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: The Shambles Date: 13 Aug 02 - 07:19 PM To be sung to the tune of Villikins and his Dinah - the Yetties, Threshing Machine (Sling it here, sling it there, and if your standing by, then your all get your share).
SING IT ELSEWHERE
Sing it here
Important to us, is to be able to sing
I bring you news of a terrible fact
The two in a bar rule is to be taken away
They say you can't sing, "public safety I'm afraid"
And the lads can crowd in, watch their team on TV
Football supporters with money to burn
I would like you all to write your MP
Sing it here |

Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 13 Aug 02 - 08:34 PM Thank you, dear Lodger ;-), for your PEL protest song -- very, very, good! here it is, in the Book. Would you like for me to put a link on the page to one of the PEL threads, or, would you like to write a comment on or explanation of the situation, so folks will better understand the background? Let me know. Smoles, Áine |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amergin Date: 13 Aug 02 - 09:21 PM Well seeing as you are back, Old Aine....here is one: and BTW there are some stories in the storyteller's thread too.....for whenever you get a chance.... |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 13 Aug 02 - 09:44 PM Thanks, Amergin! Here it is in the Songbook! And thanks for the headsup about the stories -- Can you give me the thread name so I can go and 'round 'em up'? ;-) All the best, Áine |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Date: 13 Aug 02 - 10:36 PM There was a great concatenation song, recently, by MMmario, and Willa and your humble servant, on this thread. It just sorta sprangup and kept growing!! Here 'tis:: By Your FruitsMMario, Amos, Willa By your fruits shall ye be known Whether drupe or pome or berry Be they grain or nuts or melons If they give us food for thought Ye shall reap as you have sown, Whacky, kind or evil very, And the fruits that you are sellin' Tell us truly what is what! Gather up the fruit you've grown Wilde oats or Queen Anne's Cherry Borne on branch or stem or vine stew to jelly in your pot Thus the oldest air is known-- Not Greenfleeves or London Derry The most ancient song in time Is that Jelly Roll, by Gott! And when winter winds are blowin, And are hearts are full of care we Will recall what you were tellin And be happy with our lot. Yes the chill that Winter's blown Will not stop our making Merry! We'll not pause for kings or felons, While the Jelly Rolling's hot! When the laden tables groan We will sip a Christmas sherry In our warm and cosy dwellin And then dance a wild gavotte What care we for hearts of stone? Those whose tonguesa are barbed and serried? Those who bother us with sellin'? Dance with us, oh, these shall not! Where the wild Imagines roam, Fueled by grape and love and perry, We abandon cruel melan- Choly for a wilder trot! And we shall not dance alone. Let no one be sedentary, And the glorious voices swellin' Make this place a hallowed spot Yea, though hearts be hard as stone, Full of gloom extraordinary, There will be no use rebellin', Pure enjoyment is our plot. Wandering through the world alone, Finding none to share out story Weary of the world's pell-melling, With our hearts and spirits shot, Come as though to spirit home, To the end of ponderance hoary, Where the heart alone is telling, Jelly roll, and sweet Gavotte! |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Date: 13 Aug 02 - 10:44 PM Wow!! I think that came together really nicely, MM&W! A |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Date: 13 Aug 02 - 11:37 PM Aine: There's another one over here on the Empty Nester's Blues thread if you want it!! Mucho Love-o, A-o. |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: The Shambles Date: 14 Aug 02 - 02:41 AM Many thanks
If you would be kind enough to link it (for more infomation), This would be the best one. http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=49945 It is the thread where links to all the PEL threads can be found. I think there may even be more of these than these 'additions' threads! But they don't make such interesting reading, unfortunately and unlike these, I don't look forward to seeing any more. |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 02 - 02:52 AM Welcome back to the land of the living, Áine! Can you submit any song for the songbook? Or does it gotta be good? Genie

Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 14 Aug 02 - 08:02 AM Very good to see your name here again Áine!
Here's a new one I put on a recent thread. I post it again, rather than just the link because the words have changed a wee bit now in the singing
As we keep the old music alive
Somehow it seems there are always a few
There's a session tonight in the Bell or the Crown,
And every now and again there's a fete or a fair, And here's a parody verse I added:
There's a session tonight at The Crown or The Bell,

Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: GUEST,sorefingers Date: 20 Aug 02 - 12:27 AM I just now realized that this book contains a poem posted by a friend long time ago which was gotten off of another now defunct website. Also was one of the early contributors to Mudcat Radio and had one tune sent in as a demo - basicaly wanted to prove that a complete arrangement in stereo could be sent over the wires under 250k, be original, be interesting enough to play. I still have the words but the original tape is lost as is the digital image. Oh well. I think lots of folks did make songs at the time. Anyway if there are any goodies I should learn please point me to them Thankyou |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Genie Date: 20 Aug 02 - 11:25 PM Maybe a little early for Christmas (though I've seen stores that started hawking their Xmas goodies a month ago), but here's one of my holiday offerings: Genie |

The Wid Rover (reformed)
I've been a 'Wild Rover', now I've seen the light
If they call out for a 'Jug Of Punch'
My fingers were only for holding my beer
I'll not 'Tell me Ma' when I get home
You may have thought things couldn't get worse
Its hard to be saying, goodbye old guitar
The session's loss is the sing-around's gain
You won't find me staying on that 'Holy Ground'
And its, no nay never, no nay never no more

Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 31 Aug 02 - 03:42 PM I'm back -- squeeky clean and very efficient -- and I've just added The Wild Rover (reformed) by The Shambles to the Mudcat Songbook. Ta, Lodger, and big smoles for this one, Áine |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 05 Sep 02 - 02:46 PM I am very proud to announce that a brand-new song by a Master Mudcatter of Song, bert, has been added to the Songbook.

Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 08 Sep 02 - 10:47 PM It's been a great week for the Songbook, hasn't it? I've just put in a new song by McGrath of Harlow called Whitby Coming Home, which he wrote about the Whitby Folk Week this year. He even has a streaming RealAudio soundfile of the song that you can access from the Songbook page, or you can go straight to his 'new songs' page on his own website here. Thanks, Kevin, for yet another wonderful contribution to the Tome! All the best, Áine |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: The Shambles Date: 09 Sep 02 - 10:52 AM Thanks and *smoles*. As requested, the thinking behind the song can be found HERE |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Genie Date: 09 Sep 02 - 10:33 PM çine, I PM'd this song to you click here , but I didn't hear back from you. (I could have taken it as a rejection of the song, but I figured if that were the case you would have told me so. So I thought maybe you're still working to recuperate and have not kept up on all your PMs. That would be very understandable.) I didn't know what category to submit it for, since it's a sort of political commentary, sort of maybe inspirational, and sort of ballad. Anyway, please use the song as posted in the thread I linked to here as the "definitive" version -- the latest and the one with the most complete notation -- which I have posted at Mudcat. Genie

Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 10 Sep 02 - 06:28 PM Dear Genie, I don't remember getting your PM in re your song. I'm so sorry that it got 'lost' in the ether! I've got it copied now; and I promise to get it 'html-ed' and posted to the Songbook this evening or in the morning (I'm taking some kick butt cold medicine today, and I don't want to mess up your code, don't ya know!). And FYI, for you and the other 'Catters - If at first you don't succeed, keep bugging me about your songs; 'cuz I'm susceptible to CRS more and more these days ;-) All the best, Áine |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Date: 10 Sep 02 - 06:59 PM Now, would that be "Cooke Relaxation Syndrome", dearest Gawdess? :>) A |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Genie Date: 10 Sep 02 - 09:24 PM Well, some of us just hope that CRS stands for "Censor Relaxation Syndrome." ¤'-D Amos, is "Cooke Relaxation Syndrome" something you get when watching the old archives of Masterpiece Theater? çine if there is any question about where the chords go, they are in the right position in the thread to which I linked above (right above your reply). It is good to hear from you, çine, and know you are alive and well, if groggy. Genie |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Date: 10 Sep 02 - 09:50 PM Genie: To make that accented capital A you need to type the following characters strunf together: 1. & 2. A 3. acute 4. ; The ampersand and semicolon act as delimiters. Otherwise it comes out looking like a cedilla. A |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 10 Sep 02 - 09:54 PM Genie -- I'm working on making the chords come out right as you read this. It's a wee bit time consuming, since I'm not one of the resident Mudcatter html geniuses; but, I'll be able to finish it tonight, hopefully, before the bedtime dose of allergy medicine kicks in. ;-) I know you want it in the book for Wednesday, so I'm doing my best. BTW, dear Amos BOTF, you can call me Annie, you call can me Áine -- just don't call me late for supper (hehehe)!! *BG* Back to the code . . . Herself ;-) |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 10 Sep 02 - 11:25 PM There you go, Genie -- Valley Of The Towering Shadows is now in the Book. I hope I managed to get the chords in the right places. Please let me know if any corrections and/or additions are needed. Thank you for sharing your song with us all. All the best, Áine |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Genie Date: 11 Sep 02 - 01:05 AM çine,* thanks so much for putting the song in the book. I will send a MIDI or MP3 as soon as I can. Sorry it took so much of your time in formatting. When I posted it in the "September 11th Commemoration Songs" thread (linked to above), I configured the chords in Netscape Composer and then went to "Source View" and cut everything from the beginning to the end of the text and pasted that into the thread. It's a trick Amos and his wife Daly taught me, and it works like a charm for keeping the formatting "as is" when posting. I don't know how to do it using something other than Mac and Netscape. I didn't realize you were going to have to spend very much time on this; that was not my intent.
The chords as posted in the Songbook (per your link) are close to where they should be, on most lines, but they are perfectly aligned in the "September 11th Commemoration Songs." If anyone wants the "definitive version," that's where it is. ------------------ Amos, on my Mac, I hold down the "option" key and "e" at the same time, then type in the letter I want to give the acute mark. I don't know how it comes out on other folks' screens, but on mine it comes out as an "accent acute" (slanted to the left), which is the way Aine's name is supposed to look. This is the way my Microsoft Word 5 for Mac manual says to do it, and, at least on my screen, it seems to work within Netscape, AOL, and Explorer, too. ( I can also do it by going to Microsoft Word and going to the "Insert Symbol" command and finding the acute-accented capital "A," then pasting that into a MS Word page and then cutting and pasting into Netscape or whatever browser I'm using.) Either way, it always looks right on my screen. On the other hand, Áine's name as entered by TGG herself shows up in the thread and post titles as "¡ine" on my screen. But within the text of her posts, it comes out as Áine with the acute accent over the "E." Since you use Mac, too, I'm surprised you don't use the same key combinations as I do to make the acute accent. Let me try something. Tell me which, if any, of the following shows up correctly on your screen: Áine Genie

Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 11 Sep 02 - 01:58 AM Dear Genie, Isn't formatting a witch! ;-) Per your experiment, the first two work a charm 'as seen on my PC', the third one is a lil' funky. Whatever Amos is doing, seems to work on the 'Cat. I think the 'problem' is with Netscape Composer. But, like I said, I'm no html genius. ;-) On the morrow, I will put a link on your song page in the Book to the 'September 11th Commemoration Songs' thread; just so folks can have the 'definitive' version of the chords' placement. If there's anything else you need me to do, please let me know. All the best, Áine |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Genie Date: 11 Sep 02 - 02:15 AM Actually, çine, the third one came out exactly as I typed it -- i.e., "a lil' funky!" (I may not have understood Amos's instructions.) The first one was done with the "Option" and "E" keys together followed by the letter "A." (That's my usual method.) The second was a cut and paste from the "Symbol" menu of MS Word 5 for Mac. Amos uses Netscape, too, I think. Remember, it was he and Daly who showed me the "Netscape Composer" trick. Genie |
Subject: RE: Part X - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Date: 02 Oct 02 - 09:43 AM I just added two new Mudcatter songs to the Songbook. Check 'em out -- they're very different, yet equal in the 'getting to ya' category. The Lilt Of A Grandmother's Song by bert AND He's Gonna Go To War by Amos Great job(s), fellas! Keep 'em comin'!
