CHICO - Fellow, Comrade, Pal, Citizen of the Net

Hearty Greetings and well met!!!!

The MudCat is peculiar - and it is encouraging to view that you are not intimidated.

IF....your posting had been, Maoist, Maxist, Trot/Len-ist, it would have been greeted by the genial "folk-artists" as a welcome breath of fresh aire.

FOLK (personaly, in postings years ago, I believe anything EUROPEAN should be banned from a place dedicating itself to Blues/Am-Folk) but the moderators do not follow their original mission statement...and THEREFORE....MudCat

Folk

can begin anywhere....and it seems that most current MudCat lyric postings are less than 30 years old...therefore, yours (by current standards) is between mid-and-genuine "antique" (antique=100 years.)

It would be VERY NICE - if you could (for academic purposes) give a "song-book", "leaf-let", "history-text", "dying grandmother", and date, location, context....to your postings.

Obviously, you have a SOURCE (and a very good one - these are songs I do not know)and your material is EXCELLENT (but only useful, if original sources are given.)

By citing a source - you would be less "inflamatory" and more "academic" - however, by being less "inflamatory" your posting would have never caught my attention.
Unfortunately, REAL LYRICAL POSTINGS - die on the MudCat in 24 hours - while the B.S. (above and below the line) continue and continue. MAX - needs to confir with susan/dick and revise the "harvesting process"

You elect a Spick-nomulcur and post German lyrics...what gives?

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Thank you for including translations for the Germanic-Challenged.
