Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad Parody From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Jul 03 - 07:21 PM Thanks Mick Love you too And I cant find my copy of the book to see what I should have posted. I dont for one moment think that Dave H would be at all concerned at what gets done to his songs when you think what he did to other peoples songs in his (far too short)life. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad Parody From: GUEST,MCP Date: 09 Jul 03 - 03:21 PM I could also add that Leadfingers' posted version has some differences with the printed version. Though, as he was the source for that too, I suppose this is an example of the folk process (or the failing memory of a poor ageing inebriate ;-)). Mick |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad Parody From: GUEST,MCP Date: 09 Jul 03 - 03:16 PM A request for interest in a reprint of the book was done a year or so ago: Dave Houlden Parody Book - Reprint but I have no idea if Malcolm went ahead or not. The title given in the book is just the first line: O Mary Love What's This You're Doing. Mick |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad Parody From: brid widder Date: 09 Jul 03 - 01:50 PM thank you THANK YOU Leadfingers |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad Parody From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Jul 03 - 01:42 PM Send a P M to Trayton He actually produced the books and will know about availability or reprints or what ever. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad Parody From: Raggytash Date: 09 Jul 03 - 10:13 AM Leadfingers, I first enquired many many moons ago about the books when it was first mentioned on Mudcat, I have great memories of Dave and Pearl having been blessed with their company on many occasions. How do I get a copy Cheers Raggytash |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad Parody From: Leadfingers Date: 08 Jul 03 - 07:04 PM I think it was just called Mary Lass and I forgot to complete the song Here is the last verse:- So if you want my consent to join Folk Club I'm afraid you'll be waiting a while If you ask me to pay your admission I'll answer you with a grim smile So practice your B Flat Brass Bass lass Build your embouchure up while you can Oh impetuous youth now I've told you the truth Just stick with your local brass band. Sorry about the brain failure on the first try Title and last verse added above. |

Subject: ADD: Mary Lass ( Willy 'Ole Lad Parody) From: Leadfingers Date: 08 Jul 03 - 01:32 PM MARY LASS (Dave Houlden) Oh Mary Lass whats this you're doing, Whats this that you're getting into We're respectable Brass Band Musicians So a Folk Club lad wont do for you Your mother she plays the euphonium Your Grandma before her did too I started on drums but I'm third trombone now So a Folk Club lad wont do for you I daresay when you sing they'll be gladsome And they'll drink Breakspears Ale from your shoe But they're all three chord tricksters and mostly sing Flat So a Folk Club lad wont do for you You'll have no more fancy arrangements Just harmonies worked out in your head And it wont be Belle View you'll be playing But a scruffy pub back room instead With three songs a night if you're lucky When your repetoire's exhausted you'll rue That you shook your soft head when your old father said A Folk Club lad wont do for you And I hear that they're all into boozing And gallons they'll drink in a day Their bodies with real ale they're abusing When to festivals they go away With the beer guts perpetually sagging And the flatulence gets very bad And besides its been said they get brewers droop in bed Do you still fancy your folk club lad So if you want my consent to join Folk Club I'm afraid you'll be waiting a while If you ask me to pay your admission I'll answer you with a grim smile So practice your B Flat Brass Bass lass Build your embouchure up while you can Oh impetuous youth now I've told you the truth Just stick with your local brass band. I'll be seeing Trayton tonight and will ask him about the availability of the Dave Houlden songbooks. |

Subject: Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad Parody From: brid widder Date: 07 Jul 03 - 03:14 PM At Cleckheaton Festival over the weekend I heard a super parody of the Keith Marsden song with the dad warning his daughter about the risks of a liasion with a folk club lad...& trying to persuade her to return to the brass band... any chance that anyone has the lyrics?... or was it maybe Kathy Aveyard, the performer's, own? |
