Subject: RE: Silly Wizard From: poet Date: 18 Oct 99 - 05:26 PM I think you'll find that "If I was a Blackbird was written either for or by Ronnie Ronalde. but then again I've been wrong before he certainly made it famous Graham |
Subject: RE: Silly Wizard From: sophocleese Date: 18 Oct 99 - 03:16 PM The words for Fisherman's Song are in the digitrad under F for Fisherman. I'm sorry I haven't been practicing blue, green or polka-dotted clicky things so I can't do that for you. |
Subject: RE: Silly Wizard From: selby Date: 18 Oct 99 - 01:16 PM Joe if you have the words for Fishermens Lament I would greatly appreciate them.(on a storm tossed shore line a woman is waiting)is as far as I ever got. I have met Phil Cunningham on a few occasions and he has always been most helpful with tunes or advice I know he has a web site (can't do them blue clicky things)He may help you . Keith |
Subject: RE: Silly Wizard From: Magpie Date: 18 Oct 99 - 11:33 AM Sorry, but I can't help you with the tunes either. But I can recommend a tutor, MEL BAY'S COMPLETE IRISH TIN WHISTLE BOOK. e-mail: email@melbay.com web site: http://www.melbay.com. By the way, The Irish Tin Whistle Tutor is published by the same company. Good luck to ya! Magpie |
Subject: RE: Silly Wizard From: Mark Cohen Date: 18 Oct 99 - 05:15 AM Joe, I can't help you with the tunes (though I can probably still sing the chorus of If I Were a Blackbird -- haven't heard it in a dozen years or so), but if you're learning to play the whistle you should check out a little booklet that I think is called the Irish Tinwhistle Tutor. Yes, I know, you said Scot, not Irish, but it's a helpful book all the same. Damned if I can remember the author's name, though I remember he was from Pittsburgh and I remember I heard him and his band play at the Philadelphia Highland Games in 1982 or so. I probably still have the book buried at home somewhere, and if I remember to look for it I'll post the correct title and author. Check a good folk music store or catalog. I love the whistle part on Blackbird. Wish I had taken my own advice and learned to play! Aloha, Mark Cohen |
Subject: Silly Wizard From: joefcos@yahoo.com Date: 17 Oct 99 - 10:15 PM I'm trying to find the tunes for a couple of songs by Silly Wizard. Namely, The Fisherman's Wife (or song), If I were a Blackbird, and Hame, Hame, Hame. All are from the disk 'Wild and Beautiful.' Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Joe A displeced Highland Scot learning to play the whistles. |
