23 Feb 02 - 01:11 PM (#656159) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: InOBU HEY WE GOT TWO WINNERS SO FAR!!! Alice wins the gold medal (same prise as silver, bronze, steele, tin, led, cermaic and other prises... a Free Sorcha Dorcha CD!) And Susan... do you have the most recent one with MazzMlani on fiddle? If not, you are a winner, McGrath won one sometime last week, should be there or arriving in a day or so... and Sinsull, for appropriate use of CapLock you also win, but check to see if your CD is the most current, if MazzMlani Swift is not on it, you win also. The first track should be Swifts Modest Proposal, and Mazz is in the forground in the famous pub painting on the cover. SO! Either PM me (InOBU) at Mudcat, or email me at InOBU@aol.com and you will recieve your CDs! For others, keep trying, there are a few CDs to be won, as yet! Good luck, Larry |

23 Feb 02 - 01:19 PM (#656170) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: InOBU TWO MORE WINNERS!!!! The anonimous guest, for one, who is obviously not yet privy to the wonders of our music, or a hard working folk slave, trying to eak out a living in a crule music scene dominated by corporations wishing to sell you McMusic... but everyone is redeemable, or we would not sing the music we sing to ye's. For the Anonimous guest, who obviously wants to remain in the shaddows more than to hear good music, I will put a copy of our CD in a drain pipe benieth a bridge I busk under in Central Park for you, so you can pick it up by moonlight and remain hidden... DMcG ! You gots ah hot CD! If it does not work on your 78 player, rent a car and there is usualy a CD player in the package, or, see if there is a CD port on your computer, also, there are listening stations in many record stores, bring our CD there and see if they can put it in one for you... OR, as two songs are about my Quaker youth (and present) you can put the CD ON your 78 turntable, and don't put the needle on it, then you can experience Quaker silent worship! But seriously DMcG, you won one, as did the voice in the dark, so enjoy it! Cheers Larry |

23 Feb 02 - 01:42 PM (#656183) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: leprechaun Larry - send me that anonymous guest's cd. I'll try to track him down. Being a perpetrator of the Police State, it shouldn't be too hard for me. If I can't find him, I'll just put your cd in evidence, and try to extract the dna from it so we can frame your band the next time OJ kills one of his wives. And steal me some whiskey while you're at it.

OJ won a CD a little while ago, and we sent it on the condition that he behaves in the future, and I am convinced that is why he was aquitted in the road rage incident. I think he has taken his promise to us to heart, and therefore we can say his is another life made whole by our band's music. Cheers, Larry |

23 Feb 02 - 04:32 PM (#656298) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: rangeroger I don't want one of these CD's because the people in North Idaho, where I live, would think that the band is just an offshoot of the Aryan Nations and if I played it would make me leave the state and move to the wilds of Pennsyltucky where Susan would come and rescue me and then I could listen to the real message which is the antitheses of what was thought. rr |

23 Feb 02 - 04:48 PM (#656310) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: Jeri Well, a CD is only one moment in the great flow of musical time. To want this CD would be like wanting to halt this flow at a certain time and place and band membership. It would be like stuffing one cow out of a whole stampede, and leaving it mounted out there in the field while the other cows have thundered on. It would be like a dead fish plucked from the river of time and left on the bank to rot. HA! Who would want such a thing! |

Let's see, that is Tin, Lead and Ceramic medals for Mudcat logic and reasoning... Tin, and one CD goes to Rangeroger - who has to play the CD backwards to get the real message, Lead and a CD goes to Death by Wishkey, for being Death By Wishkey, and Ceramicand a CD goes to Amergin... and wait a minute, the Russians have just put in an official objection! ART BROOKS TIES FOR CERAMIC AND A CD! So, all you new winners, PM me to send the addresses for your prise CDs. Cheers, Larry... NEWS FLASH - the Bela Russ judges called to tell me to put my glasses on... they are right, We have to put in a new class of medal, below ceramic, COWCHIP!

23 Feb 02 - 05:35 PM (#656334) Subject: RE: Contest!

Gold is hard, it is between complimenting my market savey at the same time as challening my socialist politics, and offering to hang me,... let's see, I guess gold and a CD goes to bill\sables, for knowing how to spell Dick Tarpin, and Joe Burke's beard hair is as valuble to some as gold, espcialy pipers, who use it to open drone reeds, so Lonesome, you win that and a CD, and cyder drinker - toss that one back for our trolling guest, trolls like it under bridges, waiting to eat wee goats, so I will send you a nice new one to replace the one you found under the bridge... again, follow the instuctions above, to recieve the CDs, the first bunch are address and ready for Monday's mail.

And everyone knows folk musicians are always in need of funds. But when I say that I don`t want one everyone will understand that I want one because I have to say so in order to have a chance to get one and Larry thats not fair you force me to lie no matter what I say about your cd and... *sob* I... I mean If I say that I don`t one and Larry sends me one because of this I don`t deserve it because I didn`t want it anyway, and I would feel guilty everytime I listened to it because Larry would have been so kind while I had said I don`t want his CD which surely has made him sad, I mean who wants to hear noone wants his CD? And thats very unfair of you Larry, you make me lie and make me feel guilty and... *BIG SOB* NO I DON`T WANT THIS CD BECAUSE IT IS UNFAIR OF YOU TO TREAT ME THIS WAY! *turning around and crying* |

For all who come after, thanks for the effort, but we are at the bottom of the barrel, just the place for Sorcha Dorcha some say, and in fact, that would have won them a CD.

24 Feb 02 - 09:11 PM (#657107) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: Jerry Rasmussen I forgot to ask you, and I can't tell from the CD... do you sing with arms akimbo? I'm assuming that all Mudcatters who do irish songs sing with arms akimbo and smoke pipes. Jerry |

24 Feb 02 - 10:10 PM (#657130) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: InOBU Actually, I sing with the old hand cupped to the ear, unless I am pumping up the pipes for a wee bit of Uilleann Piping... tried to smoke the Uilleann pipes once, but it tasted AWFULL!!!! Burning reeds... yeach... Cheers, Larry |

24 Feb 02 - 10:43 PM (#657155) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: Rick Fielding Wow, Jerry....Arms Akimbo! Now there's a name from the past. Didn't he used to work for Legs Diamond? I'm really gonna throw a monkey wrench in here and probably seriously piss off INOBU...but here goes... I'm a fan of this band...and not because I hang on every word from Larry's pen on Mudcat. As a matter of a fact, sometimes I think he expects far too much from the 'industry types' considering the music he writes. Nope, I'm a fan primarily because of the 'originality in concept' of Snorkle Dorkle. Some (not all) of the music addresses issues simply not touched on by bands in general. Singer songwriters can and do write about political issues that concern them, but in 14 years of doing a radio show, I've never (that I can remember) recieved a CD (or vinyl) for airplay that dealt with hard news stories, and important social issues (other than "the troubles") USING a traditional Celtic band format. So.......I'm gonna make a suggestion. If you REALLY like Larry's CD, and it becomes a part of your listening collection....AND if you can afford it..AND if you really want to...send him a few bucks, to help make the next one. Sorry Larry. Rick |

24 Feb 02 - 11:36 PM (#657209) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: rangeroger Aw come on Rick, how many CDs did you really get for you to take on the Plugomatic role? Jon Freeman, thanks for that link. I just microwaved an AOL CDROM. Wow what a light show! Good use for it. I didn't get the fractal patterns though.Maybe I need to do it longer. Think I'll go try it again. rr |

25 Feb 02 - 12:51 AM (#657231) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: Jon Freeman Thread creep but you really tried it in the microwawe, rangeroger? I did try the plasma microwave one once - a version of which can be found here. I got some effects from it but not quite as dramatic as I'd hoped. Pip was not ammused at my experiment though... Jon |

25 Feb 02 - 01:12 AM (#657238) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: Seamus Kennedy I don't want a Sorcha Dorcha CD because I got a dirty-mix, unfinished, rough cut demo a few months back which sounded great, and I'd be afraid to hear how good it is now, with all the added instruments in the final mix. Plus, I'd probably have to send him one of mine. Seamus |

25 Feb 02 - 03:13 AM (#657269) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: rangeroger Jon, I did indeed "burn" a CD in the microwave.The time has to be real short. I've got an older one with mechanical timers so I couldn't be sure of an exact time but the 5 seconds called for should be about right. I think mine was about 10 seconds. You get blue flashing at first then a silver white. It looks like the blue is what you want.After my last post I stuck the same CD back in and only got the silver-white with smoke ths time.When I pulled it out,instead of having more arc paths it seems there were more holes.Also, since I didn't have a paper cup I used a shot glass to support the CD. Another trick to try is to take a pint beer glass filled with water,put a light bulb in it base down, and microwave it.The bulb will light up without harming the microwave. Now to try the plasmoid experiment. Oh, and now we return you to Larry's thread which is still in progress. rr |

25 Feb 02 - 10:25 AM (#657456) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: InOBU Gee, Rick... I can't ever be mad at a fellow to broadcasts my rantings about Canadian treatment of Natives to a Canadian radio audience! Speaking of which, Yvette's Song? Played it in North Carolina, and believe it or not, there was a Montreal Radio host there, who KNEW Yvette Michele as well. For thouse who haven't heard the song... Yvette's song (on the CD winging its way to you...)is about the forced removal of Native children in the late fourties through the sixties, a forced assimilation process, now being replaced by destruction of native hunting land with similer results... So, Now Yvette's Song is getting air play in Montreal as well. Tell ya what Rick, if some folks do feel called on to send a check made out to yours truely, (not the band, we're too poor to have a Sorcha Dorcha account) then a few more free CDs will be sent out, spreading the word that folk music CAN still be about what's happening today, not a hundred years ago! For you folk purests, our CD also has some songs from two hundred and even four hundred years ago as well, so don't panic and tell the post man to send back your CD unplayed! Again thanks to all, the contest has been really fun, and for the late entries... don't give up hope. After I come back from the post office I am going to run the numbers on my future ability to feed Genie and the phone company, and most likely there will be a few more free CDs awarded early next week... so if you still have rotten things to say about the band... keep at it! Affectionately yours, Larry |

USA in first place with a whole bunch of CDs in the mail this morning. England next, with a big bunch, but a few less CDs in the mail, Followed by Canada - 2, and Austrailia, Germany and Ireland tied with one each, Honorable mention to Iceland, who got one last week for Scarpi's birthday and New Guinnie, which if anyone from there enters will win for sure.

26 Feb 02 - 02:37 AM (#658016) Subject: RE: Contest! Why U don't want a Sork Dork CD From: InOBU OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY! The postage was 30 cents a package cheeper than I thought it would be! SO... here is the challenge. If we get enough entries to keep this going until next week, (a few more bucks coming in for yours truely next monday...) AND, I am able to pay my phone bill so I can read these... and we get a few as good enteries as SharonA, who obviously DOES know First day is called by you heathen non-Quaker head bashers ... "Sunday" because she secretly looked it up in Faith and Practice or whouldn't know Faith and Practice from a Dorky Sorky CD... WELL there is a strong likelyhood that Monday week will find me (second day that is in our Friendly Plain speaking of course...) at the post office, like a demented Santa Clause, mailing out a few more CDs... we will see if my good wife does not stop me before I start mailing out the furnature.....
