I posted this song after he turned the corner and things started looking good for him. I then went to the 1999 Washington Getaway and sang this at the Mudcat workshop. Later, when I got quite sick myself, Catspaw posted part of this song in an email to me. It's a special song to me with a tie to the Mudcat. Mudcatter Kath Westra cries when she hears me do this song. This was recorded in Sept 1999 at a gospel sing in South Dartmouth Massachusetts in a 1700's Quaker meetinghouse with great acoustics and about 50 voices joining in." |

06 Nov 02 - 08:32 AM (#819800) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: ConcertinaChap This story about the song "This Time Again" moves me a lot. My partner Anne wrote it (though - don't tell anyone - I did contribute 2 verses) and it has for long been a favourite song of our repertoire. But the amazing thing is that, considering we're Brits, we know these places. We stayed a few days in South Dartmouth a few years back, with our friends Jim and Cindy Bean. I've not been inside the Quaker meeting house, but I've seen the outside. Furthermore, a year or so before KarenK, we sang the song ourselves at the Washington Getaway. We are both delighted to see the song here, and can't wait to hear it. Chris Timson |

06 Nov 02 - 03:57 PM (#820217) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie Amos, I see you decided to include the "new-agey-est," and schmaltziest of my songs for this CD. (No objection, mind you, since it has 3-part harmony and is one of my best quality recordings -- but you're the one who said it was "sweet.") I can post the lyrics and chords here if that's appropriate. I'll PM michaelr the exact way the credits should read. It's a song I composed for a Unitarian-Universalist Church summer camp on the theme of (you guessed it) "Harmony," back in 1986 (IIRC). (Gotta double check that © date.) Since then, I added a chorus/refrain to make the song more singable in groups without sheet music. And I added a verse, too. Really looking forward to hearing these CDs, folks! Genie |
06 Nov 02 - 04:21 PM (#820235) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: The Shambles The song listed as 'Present Conpany Excepted', appears in The Mudcat Songbook (with a bit of explanation/blub) under the title of 'The Bigot's Song'. The Bigot's Song It probably matters little but perhaps The Bigot's Song (Present Company Excepted) would be a compromise, if it would fit? Also The Shanbles is Roger Gall. I look forward to hearing the 'big band' sound I have always felt the song required between the verses and has on the (home) version I recorded. |

*The song was written for a Unitarian-Universalist summer camp in 1988 (theme: "Harmony"), without a chorus or verse #4. I added the chorus in 1990 to make it a better group sing-along song, and also added verse #4 that year. The version on this CD is the original five verses sans chorus, recorded in 1988.

09 Nov 02 - 12:15 PM (#822287) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Chris Amos Bold Carter (Trad arranged Anahata & Amos) This song was collected by Vaughn Williams from Mr Whitby, the Sexton ofTilney-All-Saints near Kings Lynn Norfolk. It is a variant of Polly on the Shore and various versions have been collected around England and Ireland. They have all evolved from a song published in Ireland in 1744 in the Irish Boys Garland. Chris Amos: Guitar & Vocals Anahata: Anglo Concertina Come all you wild young men, And a warning take by me Never you lead your life astray Unto bad company. Bold Carter is my name, And hard is my intent; Till I got pressed by a press merchant, And on board a man of war got sent. We'd not been sailing long, 'fore the first thing that we spied, It was five French men came sailing to down, And at length they were going to draw nigh. We hoisted our main colours, Our bloody bloody flag we let fly, Let every man stand to his gun, For the Lord knows the day we must die. Our captain got wounded most wonderfully sore, And so did most of his men; Our main mast rigging got all shot away, So at length we were forced to give in. Our decks were all splattered with blood, So loud did the great guns roar; I wished myself back home again With my Polly that I left upon the shore. She's a tall and a handsome girl, She's a dark and a rolling eye; And here upon the deck where I lay shot, For her sweet sake I must die. Here's adieu to my father and mother, And my friends and relations, too, I never would have crossed the salt seas so wide If I had been ruled by you. |
11 Nov 02 - 08:19 AM (#823245) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: GUEST,Mary Humphreys Track Number 20 YOUNG REDIN Mary Humphreys and Anahata This is a reconstruction of a traditional ballad found in England, Scotland and the USA. I compiled the lyrics using F J Child's ballad collection and composed the tune myself, using as a model a version found in the Appalachians by Cecil Sharp in the early 1900s. The song details an incident of trial by fire, which was a mediaeval means of testing for guilt. It also has some events based on mediaeval superstition - such as the murdered corpse spurting forth blood when the murderer approaches. The whole story turns on a bad joke made by Young Redin ( some versions call him Young Hunting)where he tells his mistress that he will not spend the night with her because there is another lady waiting down the road for him who is much more attractive! Then he goes and eats the dinner she has cooked for him & drinks the wine she has poured for him. I think he deserves everything that happens later! |

Chorus: He remembers how her golden hair did flow, He remembers how the summer wind did blow In the morning when he sat within the shade All alone with the blue-eyed mountain maid. Beneath the summer skies, the fields were green and growing, The purple flowers were blooming in the glade. "As long as these remain, mylove for you in growing." This promise he gave to the mountain maid Chorus: He remembers........ But promises undone can pave the way to sorrow, And words alone can't make the flowers grow; What looks like love today may have another face tomorrow; As quickly as it comes, you watch it go.

20 Nov 02 - 11:58 AM (#830784) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie Chris, I imagine most of us feel similarly. Not talking about royalties, of course, if folks aren't using the songs commercially, but it would be great to know where our songs are being sung and by whom. Emails or PMs about it would be great! Which brings me to a point of dismay that I suddenly realized. When I gave Amos the original liner notes for my CD, from which the "One, Out Of Many" song was taken, I included my full name and copyright dates on all my songs. I don't know how I missed this, but on the Mudcat CD, it just says "Genie" (a name I never used before Mudcat and by which hardly any non'Catters know me) with the song being credited to "J. Pratt." This means if the CD ends up in the hands of someone outside mudcat who knows me, they'll have no idea that I'm the singer or the songwriter! I think I let it slip initially because I thought we were SUPPOSED TO use our Mudcat names. Since I have not seen the liner notes, I'm not sure if they will remedy that problem. (But liner notes don't always get read, either.) Oh, well. If there's a second run of these CD's, can my name on the CD be changed to "Genie (Jeanene Pratt")? Genie |

It just didn't register until today that it would just say "Genie" on the label. But is there a possiblility of addressing any errors or amendments to the label if and when a second batch is run off?

20 Nov 02 - 11:09 PM (#831311) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie Well, let's see how many other corrections people want to make. Wouldn't be worth it for just one or two (if making the correction takes a lot of time or bother). On the other hand, if you decide to finish out the spectrum later and put me on another CD, I can identify myself properly on that one, and people who have the whole set can figure it out. (Meanwhile, you deserve a rest.) Genie |
21 Nov 02 - 11:47 AM (#831702) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie Whew! Checked my sent PMs and it seems I gave michaelr, to include after "Genie"), one of my email addresses that uses my real name! Problem solved, and I'm much relieved! Genie |

30 Dec 02 - 08:19 AM (#855201) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie Hey, Strawberry folks! I just volunteered to clean up and format the liner notes to post for the Strawberry CD, so people can copy and print them. If there's any more info you'd like included, please post it post haste, along with any lyrics you'd like included. Even if your song is "trad," it would be nice to have the lyrics of the version you did to include in the notes. Thanks, Genie |
30 Dec 02 - 11:49 AM (#855301) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Art Thieme Hi Genie, My "Chicagotown Blues" was recorded in September of 1979 at the EQINOX FESTIVAL in the middle of State Street --- Madison, Wisconsin. The lyrics 'll speak for themselves. Thanks, Art Thieme |
30 Dec 02 - 03:51 PM (#855464) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie Keep those additions and corrections coming, folks -- either here or in a PM to me. I just posted a cleaned-up and somewhat organized and formatted set of liner notes for Strawberry here: Lyr Add: Mudcat CD Strawberry liner notes I forgot to add your last comment, Art, but will post it in that thread. If folks will reserve that thread for specific corrections, lyrics, and additions to the blurbs from the artists and composers, it will be pretty easy for other folks to edit the liner notes themselves. FWIW, it took me about 3 hours to do that job (in case you're interested in doing liner notes for the other CDs). I will revise the liner notes after I get the contributors' corrections and addenda. It would be helpful to have © dates for you folks' original compositions! We still don't have lyrics for the following songs on that CD: Rag, Eh?* Rolling Down To Old Maui** Beyond The Stone Circle* Girl On The Rim Of The World Galway City** Billy The Kid** Handful Of Songs (and is the composer our own Jerry Rasmussen?) Feels Like the Blues The Bigot's Song (and, Roger, your lyrics are hard to understand on the CD in some places) Hangman** Carrickfergus** Bold Jackie Tar** I've Had That Happen To Me Young Redin** Lovely Joan** If you feel so inclined, please post your lyrics or a link to them. Genie *BSEG, Rick and Alison ;-D **I know these are traditional songs, but there are often many versions. |
30 Dec 02 - 03:58 PM (#855467) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie One othern info request: If there is more than one instrument or voice on your recording and it's not obious who/what it is, would you please tell us who is playing what instrument(s), who is singing back-up, etc?

30 Dec 02 - 04:25 PM (#855488) Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Series: Strawberry From: Genie And, oh, someone suggested we each provide a link (links) to our profiles and/or photos in the Member Photos and Info section. If you could post or PM me the HTML address (don't bickify it, please), I will add them to the liner notes (both as blickies and as HTML code) when I do the final version of the liner notes. Genie |
