Subject: RE: Origins: german clockwinder From: GUEST Date: 27 Jun 04 - 11:50 PM I think the song was in "Bawdy British Folk Songs" by Tony McCarthy, published around 1972. It was new to me at the time. |
Subject: RE: Origins: german clockwinder From: Gaucho Date: 25 Jun 04 - 04:31 PM Unfortunately no commentary on it in the Ballad book I got it from. I always refer to it as a fine example of the little known and long discarded Dublin umpah tradition which ticked over until it sent people cuckoo in the 19th century. G |

Subject: RE: Origins: german clockwinder From: Susan of DT Date: 24 Jun 04 - 05:54 PM Yes, Cliff sang it on his Folk Legacy album. It is the title song. |
Subject: RE: Origins: german clockwinder From: Bill D Date: 24 Jun 04 - 05:34 PM yep..same song. The theme is as old as folk music..There is an Elizibethan bawdy song about a tinker mending the wife's pots & kettles ....etc.. I will look in some book and record album notes and see what I can fing..(I think Cliff Haslam recorded it once)...and I know Bob Walser was singing it 15-20 years ago and trying NOT to reveal its source for fear someone would 'steal' it from him..*grin* |
Subject: RE: Origins: german clockwinder From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 24 Jun 04 - 04:48 PM Is this another version of the song I know as The German Musicianer? The piano tuner tunes the wife's "piano", which clearly is something else. Dave Oesterreich |
Subject: RE: Origins: german clockwinder From: Sooz Date: 24 Jun 04 - 12:45 PM New member Gaucho sings it. |
