04 Jun 06 - 05:02 PM (#1752932) Subject: RE: Minor old folkies From: Severn An oxymoron. Once you're over twenty one, you're no longer a minor, no matter what key you sing in or what kind of car you drive. And you CAN be taken across state lines for immoral purposes, if needs be.... However, I'm 57 and still practicing to become an amateur. |

04 Jun 06 - 07:50 PM (#1753002) Subject: RE: Minor old folkies From: GUEST,Pamela in Ithaca This is a really cute thread. Can I be a minor old folkie wannabe... or maybe a minor old folkie in training (since I'm not quite 50 yet...) I love singing in minor keys... with or without a third. Does that count?? |

04 Jun 06 - 09:15 PM (#1753042) Subject: RE: Minor old folkies From: Jim I My grandfather had a book "A History of the Scottish Minors" presented to him after 50 years as a minor and his father had a certificate celebrating lifetime membership of the Scottish Union of Minors. I don't know about my great grandfather but my grandfather was an old fogie. Does this mean I'm a minor fogie too? |

04 Jun 06 - 09:59 PM (#1753060) Subject: RE: Minor old folkies From: Severn Frogprince, Why to save their lungs, of course! And those "No Miners Aloud" signs were to keep them from coughing so loud that you couldn't hear all the folkies and bluegrassers sing about them in barrooms. I mean, have you ever been halfway through "Dark As A Dungeon" and have someone start hacking uncontrollably? It's the pits, man! |

04 Jun 06 - 10:09 PM (#1753064) Subject: RE: Minor old folkies From: Azizi "It's the pits, man!" Here we go again. Somebody's always putting down Pittsburgh. I'll have you know that Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's air quality is greatly improved from the time way back when that it was called the Smokey city. Now our skies are almost clear-the few days out of the year when it's not overcast with rain clouds. So, come on, already. Cut Pittsburgh some slack, okay? Or let's put it this way-you mind your own business and we'll min-ors. ;o) |

Her new CD is getting a lot of good airplay and it's a GEM! Check it out! As for the rest of us, I suspect damned near all of us can play on the "minor old folkie" team without fear of disqualification. Sandy |

04 Jun 06 - 11:05 PM (#1753098) Subject: RE: Mine are old folkies! From: Severn Azizi, If I'd have meant your fine city, I'd have used two "t's" and dwelt on the places with stripping going on near there where no tippling miners are allowed. Instead, I meant the holes where they dig out those "Masses In De Coaled, Coaled Ground" of voluminous bituminous they used to sing about in their themes from the shaft where they dug sixteen tunnels in a blue tattoo parlor (and for what?). |

05 Jun 06 - 09:25 PM (#1753717) Subject: RE: Mynah old folkies From: Severn Most folkies I know were enlisted men, if they served at all. There are a few I've met who fancied themselves as Captains, and I sailed the UK canals with an Admirable Admiral, but no Majors and very few who've ever even gotten to record for any of the Majors. And Catter Col K is not a real Colonel.... |
