From: GUEST,henryp Date: 28 Aug 23 - 04:10 PM 28 August On this day in 1963, black civil rights leader Martin Luther King made his famous “I have a dream...” speech to a rally of 200,000 people in Washington. ABRAHAM, MARTIN AND JOHN is a 1968 song written by Dick Holler. The song itself is a tribute to the memory of four assassinated Americans, all icons of social change: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. It was written in response to the assassination of King and that of Robert Kennedy in April and June 1968, respectively.

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,Steve Shaw Date: 04 Aug 24 - 03:54 PM As a semi-irrelevant aside, about forty or fifty years ago I read the opinion of a "leading" meteorologist of the time that, in their opinion, August should be regarded as an autumn month. Well, I spent the Augusts of both 1975 and 1976 in the northern Highlands, and anyone of a certain age (me included) who was in Scotland at that time will attest that those remarkable Augusts were anything but "autumnal!" And in Burns' time the climate was much colder than it is today. |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,Steve Shaw Date: 07 Aug 24 - 08:55 PM Chris Wood's version of Hares On The Mountain. It's August in the third verse! What a lovely song: do YouTube it... If all you young girls were like hares on the mountain We'd soon get our boots on and go out a-walking. But if all you young girls were like swans in the water We'd soon take those boots off and dive in there after. And if all you young girls were like stars in the dark We'd chase round the world to avoid the dawn's spark. And if all you young girls were like the sun in the morning We'd sit bleary-eyed just to see the day dawning. And if all you young girls were like rain from the sky We'd stand out in T-shirts and shun all things dry. And if all you young girls were like the hot August sun Then we'd sit out with ice-cream and get nothing done. And if all you young girls flew south like the swallow There's be nothing for it but to up sticks and follow. But if all you young girls were like my own true lover Then all you young men would love them as I love her. |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST Date: 10 Aug 24 - 05:16 AM 10 August 1842: The Mines Act was passed by the British parliament, forbidding women and children to work underground. (continued) THE COLLIER LASS; Words collected in a printed broadside by Frank Kidson Tune compiled from two traditional tunes by Mike Harding www.vwml.org/record/FK/11/107/2 Roud Number: V7863 Traditional My name’s Polly Parker, I’m come o’er from Worsley My father and mother work in a coal mine My family’s large, we’ve got seven children And so I am forced to work down the coal mine By the greatest of dangers each day we’re surrounded, I hang in the air by a rope and a chain. The mine may fall in; I may be killed or be wounded May perish by firedamp or the fire of a train. From Coal mining with folk arts and poetry Produced by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS), June 2014 Written by Jayne Ambrose (NCMME), Sue Bousfield and Bryony Griffith Edited by: Frances Watt THE TRAPPER BOY’S DREAM https://lobmusiclibrary.wordpress.com/2019/11/09/the-colliers-rant-and-other-miners-ballads/ It shouldn’t be any surprise to learn there’s a large section in Lloyd’s book concerning songs about pit accidents and disasters. Mining today still has its dangers, but nothing compared to the perils of working in a Victorian-era mine. In his notes to this song, Lloyd gives the following information: The explosion at the West Moor Colliery, Killingsworth, [in 1845] occurred between two shifts. The gas was ignited by the candle of a little boy who was allowed to proceed before the men. There had been a fatal explosion at West Moor in January of the previous year, but nothing had been done to improve safety. His description of a ‘little boy’ makes me wonder whether the mine owner ignored the recently enacted Mines and Collieries Act. Here’s a couple of verses. ‘I thought that at my post I sat, upon my duty bent, When suddenly there came a sound as if the mine was rent: And then the earth rocked to and fro, and I strove for help to call For o’er my head a mass of coal hung ready to fall. ‘It swayed and tottered, still it hung, as held by secret power, and as I gazed such horrid faces round me seemed to lower. Grim demons looked with scowling eye, and nearer then they came. They smote and dashed me to the earth and turned my heart to flame.’ No recording to be found of this.

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 15 Aug 24 - 01:05 AM On 15 August 1771, Sir Walter Scott, creator of the historical novel, was born in Edinburgh. His home, Abbotsford, is open to the public at Tweedbank in the Borders. SINGER'S REQUEST (Nic Jones, adapted from Scott) See Mudcat thread Origin: Singer's Request / Minstrel's Request Now the sun it does decline; pour the beer and pour the wine. We can lead your thoughts astray from the world and from the day. CHORUS Dark the night and long till day; do not bid us further stray. Dark the night and long till day; do not bid us further stray. We sing songs of history, love and war and mystery. We can lead you from despair, or can chill the darkening air. CHORUS You may choose to pass us by with a cruel or scornful eye. We will see the ending through, then we'll turn and say to you: CHORUS |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST Date: 28 Aug 24 - 12:06 AM 28 August 1963 Civil rights leader Martin Luther King made his “I have a dream” speech to a rally of 200,000 people in Washington. "Abraham, Martin and John" is a 1968 song written by Dick Holler. The song itself is a tribute to the memory of four assassinated Americans, all icons of social change: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. It was written in response to the assassination of King and that of Robert Kennedy in April and June 1968, respectively. It was first recorded by Dion, in a version that was a substantial North American chart hit in 1968–1969. Near-simultaneous cover versions by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and Moms Mabley also charted in the U.S. in 1969, and a version that same year by Marvin Gaye became the hit version in the UK. It was also a hit as part of a medley (with "What the World Needs Now Is Love") for Tom Clay in 1971, and has subsequently been recorded by many other artists.
