27 Apr 00 - 05:00 PM (#219123) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: Melbert 'twas in the year of 88 in the lovely month of June when the gadflies were swarming & dogs howling at the moon With rosary beads and sandwiches for Stuttgart we began Joxer packed his German phrase book and the jump leads for the van. Oh well some of the lads had never been away from home before 'was the first time Wacker put his foot outside of Inchicore Before we left for europe we knew we'd need a plan So we all agreed Joxer was the man to drive the van In Germany the autobahn was like the Long Mile Road There was every make of car and van all carrying the full load. For transits and hiaces and an auld Bedford from Tralee with the engine overheating from long-hauling duty-free. Well there was fans from Ballyfermot, Ballybough and Ballymun on the journey of a lifetine and the crack was 91 well Joxer met a German's daughter on the banks of the river Rhine and told her she'd be welcome in Ballyfermot anytime As soon as we found Stuttgart we got the wagons in a ring Sean Og got out the banjo & Peter played the mandolin. There was fans there from everywhere attracted by the sound At the first Fleadh Ceoil in Europe Joxer passed the flagon round. But the session it ended when we'd finished all the stout. The air matresses inflated and the sleeping bags rolled as one by one we fell asleep poor Joxer had a dream He dreamt himself and Jack Charlton sat down to pick the team.

Sorry about the quality of the gif but it is the best I'm going to come up with at the moment. It is at http://members.tripod.co.uk/jonbanjo/Joxer.gif. I have also put the MIDI at http://members.tripod.co.uk/jonbanjo/Joxer.mid. Jon |

28 Apr 00 - 07:30 PM (#219788) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: Den Thanks for posting this guys its one of the few folk songs I know about football. I remember the game very well. We were watching it in the pub. When Ray Houghton got the ball you could have heard a pin drop. The expressions on the faces were priceless. Everything came to a complete standstill time was suspended and when he stuck the ball in the net the place erupted. You couldn't hear yourself think. Total strangers were hugging each other. The party went on into the wee hours, what a night, thanks for the memory again Den. |

28 Apr 00 - 08:41 PM (#219814) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: MartinRyan There's a brilliant song going the rounds in Dublin these days about three soccer fans on the tear in Amsterdam. It's to the tune of "The crack was ninety..". When I manage to get a set together, I'll post it here. Regards |

29 Apr 00 - 08:37 AM (#219995) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: SDShad Good man, Jon! Nice job. What a fun song. I'm thinking that if not for this thread, I wouldn't have come round to listening to it for quite a while longer. But please excuse the ignorance of a gringo to whom a "football" is generally oblong rather than spherical: who excactly is Jack Charlton that he'd be made an honorary Irishman? Chris |

29 Apr 00 - 10:03 AM (#220006) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: Jon Freeman I'm glad I got to hear it too. Jack Charton played football for England and was part of the victorious 1966 World Cup Squad. He later went on to become manager of Ireland - the song say's the rest... Jon |

30 Apr 00 - 11:00 AM (#220364) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: GUEST,Brigid in the mountains Thanks very much for the music to Joxer...... I have been searching for it for ages. Where did you find it? Would you be so kind and see if you can find me the music to The Brendan Voyage, likewise from Christy Moore.I would be very grateful. Regards Brigid |

30 Apr 00 - 01:12 PM (#220412) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: SDShad Brigid-- We didn't actually "find" the music to "Joxer" anywhere. I sent Jon an actual recording of Christy singing the song, and he transcribed it onto a musical score himself. That wasn't some sheet music from somewhere in that .GIF linked above; it's Jon's own transcription. I had to hunt quite a bit to find the recording, but Jon did the real work. Takes me forever to do that sort of transcription, anyway. Shad |

30 Apr 00 - 06:55 PM (#220492) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: Jon Freeman Brigid, don't know Brandan's voyage as a Chrsity Moore song - does it have "Is it right or left for Gibralta... " in the chorus. If it is that one, I have a recording by a band called Raglan Four and it should be easy to put into MIDI. Also, did you say in one of these threads you have Cakewalk? - would save me having to make the MIDI into a .gif (and I can provide a .wrk file as well - CakeWalk is what I use). Jon |

01 May 00 - 10:16 AM (#220748) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: SDShad Jon-- Yes, that's the one. I've only heard Christy's version. Marvelous song. Lovely, playful tune. Wouldn't mind a MIDI of that myself. (I can pull it into Noteworthy, which I recommend for anyone who can't afford (or hasn't afforded) Cakewalk.) I'm on a "Reel in the Flickering Light" kick lately myself, so far as Christy songs go.... Chris |

02 May 00 - 10:05 AM (#221434) Subject: RE: Wanted chords/music - 'Joxer goes to Stu From: GUEST,Brigid in the mountains Yes that's the one!! I have only heard Christy Moore doing it. And I do have Cakewalk, so zap it over on that. I got the programme as a present by the way, and actually find it quite complicated to use. Alot of the stuff I don't understand!!!!!! However, if the score comes up there, I can print it out too. Thanks a mill. Brigid |
