GUEST,Teefy Rise Up Mudcat!, RUS Volume 3 (online) (69* d) RE: Rise Up Mudcat!, RUS Volume 3 (online) 09 Nov 21


Hello


If this will be done digitally, any advice on how to print and compile large sections of the book neatly? I try to avoid jamming or group singing with screens. I struggle to focus on back-lit things, and a lot of people see notifications or other such distracting things when looking at a phone or laptop, so I would probably end up printing songs out to use them.


Also, I would love to see

- With a Hip, Hip, Hip and a Holler,

- Fare Thee Well, Enniskillen,

- The Holmfirth Anthem (or Abroad for Pleasure, I don't know which is the proper title)

- and the other John Barleycorn (that goes 'hey, John Barleycorn/ho John Barleycorn/old and young, thy praise is sung, John Barleycorn')
because I think that version is not in either of the previous books.
I also like the presence in the other books of political songs like Bella Ciao, the Diggers Anthem, and Solidarity Forever (which I have lots of fond memories of singing with friends). If people are not opposed, I think it would be good to add others that are fun to sing with company, like

- A Las Barricadas,

- The Red Flag (hopefully sung to the tune of the White Cockade and not the dreary Tanenbaum version),

- and Ami, Go Home (not sure if that one is actually a popular folk song or just a song appropriated by a few weird folks to belt loudly).


Thank you for doing this, by the way, I know these sort of compilation books get a mixed reception, but as someone young who has not heard even a small slice of what is out there yet, they are a great jumping off point.


- Gratefully, Teef
