30 Jan 00 - 11:52 AM (#170465) Subject: Lyr Add: MY LADY OF AUTUMN (Dave Webber) ^^ From: Pelrad I'll take that big wet sloppy kiss. lol I forget who wrote it, though; I got it from Johnny Collins. I want to say John Connely; but that's not right... MY LADY OF AUTUMN (Dave Webber) CH: My Lady of Autumn, sing me your song Play me your tune; tell me I'm wrong Tell me you don't mean the things that you say Tell me that we'll find a way. Your eye clear as winter, your touch fresh as spring You weigh like the summer, free as birds on the wing The seasons are changing, it's time you were gone The colors of you will go on. Fields that were golden are changing to brown Leaves that were green now tumble to the ground The warm sun of summer makes way for the snow I know it's time; you must go. The light, it is changing, the sky's overcast Winter is here now, autumn is past Deep in this dark world some warmth I must find Though it's winter in the valley, it's still autumn in my mind. ^^ |

17 Feb 00 - 05:15 PM (#180278) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: GUEST,bigJ Peg, you did hear the group Beggars Velvet sing the song. It was on their LP 'Lady of Autumn' Dragon Records DRGN 901 (c1990). The group was made up of Dave Webber, Anni Fentiman, and Cathy and Charley Yarwood. There were also four other Webber songs on it. |

17 Feb 00 - 05:16 PM (#180280) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: Joan Beggar's Velvet was made up of Dave Webber, his wife, Anni Fentiman, plus another couple who are no longer a couple. I once asked Dave about the name of the group, and he says beggar's velvet is a euphemism for the dust balls you find under the bed. (I refer to those as schmemfs) Anni and Dave perform together now, with the same sort of tight harmony singing and Dave's dynamite voice. They have a web site that you can check out, and some amazing CDs. Dave writes songs "in the tradition" and they're all well done--couldn't begin to choose a "most favorite." Johnny Collins has been a close friend of theirs for a long time, sometimes part of each others' recordings. Joan |

17 Feb 00 - 05:22 PM (#180284) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: dick greenhaus Sadly, the Beggar's Velvet LP "Lady of Autumn" hasn't (yet?) appeared on LP. If you want a cassette, CAMSCO (who else?) stocks it. |

18 Feb 00 - 02:53 AM (#180566) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: Barbara You mean has not yet appeared on CD, Dick? Getting old, are we? It's a lovely cassette. Lots of other good songs on it and wonderful harmonies. Kids, get yours today. Just send 2 boxtops and -- $10, Dick? -- to CAMSCO. Blessings, Barbara |

18 Feb 00 - 11:04 AM (#180696) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: Peg i would love to get a copy; i would have thought it was on CD since it was played on A Celtic Sojourn (or was it Folk Heritage?) and they usually only play fairly well-known or well-distributed artists...well i will loo foer it; what is CAMSCO? forgive my ignorance... peg |

18 Feb 00 - 11:47 AM (#180729) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: dick greenhaus peg- CRASS COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO FOLLOW
CAMSCO (or Camsco Music, to be formal)is a record retailer specializing in folk music. I happen to own it, but that's not really the point. CAMSCO has been making hard-to-find folk recordings available at competitive prices for the better part of a decade. In addition to a pretty-damn-big catalog, we can get you just about any recording, US or overseas, that's in print. |

18 Feb 00 - 05:14 PM (#180909) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: GUEST,Gary Martin Lady of Autumn is also on Dave and Anni's latest CD, Constant Lovers. Details at http://freespace.virgin.net/daveandanni.music/fourcds.html. There's also an error in Pelrad's posted lyrics. "You weigh like the summer" is a mishearing of "Your way, like the summer". |

18 Feb 00 - 09:13 PM (#181021) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: Pelrad Thanks, Gary. :-) I did learn it by ear from a 1980s recording of Johnny in concert, so I'm not surprised I missed a few words. And no, there is no copy of that concert for sale, as it was in my living room. |

19 Feb 00 - 06:04 PM (#181334) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: GUEST,Hollywell Horrors Dave will tell no person the origin of this song, 'cept maybe Anni now they are married, but it has a very deep meaning for him as can be felt in the words. Cheers |

19 Feb 00 - 08:35 PM (#181400) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: Barbara ANd when he talks about it in concert, Annie pitches a fit, sulks, and carries on like she's tired of hearing about the one that got away. Then she sings an exquisite harmony to it. And it is on the CD Constant Lovers, like Gary points out. It's only Beggar's Velvet that isn't available. Blessings, BArbara |

20 Feb 00 - 09:04 AM (#181596) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: TerriM Johnny Collins was singing in your living room, Pel? God, it must be a BIG room or you have Very deaf neighbours! |

20 Feb 00 - 12:07 PM (#181661) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: Pelrad LOL We have very tolerant neighbors! It's a very crowded neighborhood, and there was constantly music going on in our house, but I never heard anyone complain. Not when Jim Maghean (poor man, I never could spell his name) or Johnny Collins were singing in our living room, not when they had probably heard the same song rehearsed 9,000 times in one night, and not even when a friend and I had a showdown with our bombardes in the back yard one fine summer day. |

20 Feb 00 - 01:03 PM (#181682) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: Micca Do you mean Bombardes? as in Catalonia? double reed oboe like? then you must be fairly deaf too ****BG*** as we carried a Giant behind a Catalan band of 12 ( Twelve) of them through narrow streets in Spain and I couldnt make the guide hear me from 2 feet away even shouting as loud as I could (and I am LOUD) Tolerant neighbours? I wish.... and Johnny can lift the slates on occasion too...as for him and Jim together, wonderful volume and Timbre too.... if wou want a good story ask him about the Towersey Lifeboat and Tea-bar....... |

20 Feb 00 - 11:23 PM (#181973) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady of Autumn From: Pelrad Wow, 12 bombardes. You must have suffered permanent hearing loss! Yes, those are the bombardes I mean. It's difficult to find a place to practice...I used to shut myself up in a supposedly soundproof concrete-walled cubicle in the university's music department, and people would come from all around to see what was making the racket. I fell in love with that racket the first time I heard it. Between that and my jenday conure (read, "really loud and shrill parrot"), I really do have permanent hearing loss! |

23 Sep 20 - 08:59 PM (#4072936) Subject: ADD: My Lady of Autumn (Dave Webber) From: Joe Offer Pelrad has a good transcription above, but there are few parts I question. My main question is Pelrad's "You weigh like the summer." Here's my transcription from the Constant Lovers album. Any corrections, comments? MY LADY OF AUTUMN (Dave Webber) CHORUS: My Lady of Autumn, sing me your song Play me your tune; tell me I'm wrong Tell me you don't mean the things that you say Tell me that we'll find a way. Your eye clear as winter, your touch fresh as spring Your way like the summer, free as birds on the wing But the seasons are changing, it's time you were gone But the colors of you will go on. The fields that were golden are changing to brown The leaves that were green tumble to the ground And the warm sun of summer makes way for the snow I know it's time; you must go. For the light, it is changing, the sky's overcast Winter is here now, autumn is past And deep in this dark world some warmth I must find Though it's winter in the valley, it's still autumn in my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdh6BQSLkaQ |

24 Sep 20 - 03:00 PM (#4073014) Subject: Lyr ADD: My Lady of Autumn (Dave Webber) From: Joe Offer Thank you, Kitty - I had found the Website, but not the page with the lyrics. Here are the lyrics from the Webber-Fentiman Website, which I think we can consider to be definitive (although my transcription was pretty darn close to this): LADY OF AUTUMN (Dave Webber) 1. My lady of Autumn sing me your song, Play me your tune, tell me I'm wrong, Tell me you don't mean the things that you say, Tell me that we'll find a way. 2. Your eye clear as Winter, your touch fresh as spring, Your way like the summer, free as birds on the wing, But the seasons are changing, it's time you were gone, But the colours of you will go on. 3. The fields that were golden are changing to brown, The leaves that were green tumble to the ground, And the warm sun of Summer makes way for the snow, I know it's time you must go 4. For the light it is changing the sky's overcast, Winter is here now, Autumn is past, And deep in this dark world some warmth I must find, Though it's Winter in the valley, It's still Autumn in my mind. My lady of Autumn sing me your song, Play me your tune, tell me I'm wrong, Tell me you don't mean the things that you say, Tell me that we'll find a way. |

24 Sep 20 - 06:15 PM (#4073032) Subject: RE: Lyr ADD: My Lady of Autumn (Dave Webber) From: Tattie Bogle Sorry Joe, Except that.....they themselves and most other people who sing it use what you have down as verse 1 as the chorus, so it goes: Chorus My Lady V1 Your eye... Chorus My Lady V2 The fields..... Chorus My lady V3 For the light.... Chorus My lady That really is the definitive version |
