Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe_F Date: 25 Aug 20 - 05:38 PM I think I started a songs-mentioning-songs thread a while ago, but I can't find it. One had better be careful to exclude songs (such as "Turkey in the Straw") that mention themselves, which could lead to an infinity of self-interruptions. Anyway: The Whiffenpoof Song mentions "Shall I Wasting" and "Mavourneen" and the rest. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: An Pluiméir Ceolmhar Date: 25 Aug 20 - 05:53 PM Thank you, Joe and Noreen. I'll listen in one of these Mondays coming up. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Date: 26 Aug 20 - 07:15 AM There is "The broadside man" as another example of songs named (or at least described) within a song. I always thought that it could be expanded as an album. On the same theme, I have my "Harbour Wall" song on YouTube now with some of my fathers photos. I did think that because each verse covers a different aspect and time in the history of the harbour, it would be an idea to use each verse as an intro to other songs covering the same idea. Robin |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 29 Aug 20 - 10:31 PM Reilly is warbling I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen, which is inspiring me to think of what to sing on Monday... One More Time! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: pattyClink Date: 31 Aug 20 - 10:55 PM Thanks for the very kind welcome and encouragement on my first zoom try at the singaround today. Sorry I am dim about seeing chat messages but my machine shows the text at about 1-point size, and if I boost it to 2-point by going full screen I can hear my hard drive overheating. Anyway, there was an old thread about the Willow Tree song, so I posted lyrics with chords over on that in case anybody wants to have a go at it. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: leeneia Date: 01 Sep 20 - 11:31 AM Well, Patty, if you can't see the chat, then you missed the many compliments you received for a fine song and a sweet voice. One compliment was mine. Thanks for singing. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: pattyClink Date: 01 Sep 20 - 01:34 PM Thanks, leeneia! I did squint in and see some kind remarks, and tried to send a few remarks of my own. But, I did not realize when I was being 'paged' by Joe and could not 'keep an eye' on the text feed. I will have to study up and see what I can adjust. I was blown away by all the wonderful songs and singers I heard. Including your 'Dog Days', I hope you have posted it on the 'cat or will soon! I had hoped to go to several festivals and run some song sessions this year, and those plans got blown to bits. So this is such a wonderful thing to see and hear. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Tattie Bogle Date: 01 Sep 20 - 06:58 PM Have missed too many! Been going through a bad patch with my hearing lately, (Meniere's Diease) but after that last injection, might be up for next week. Enjoyed those I have attended so far. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Sep 20 - 11:01 PM I emailed the invitations for Monday's singaround. If you didn't get an invitation and would like to attend, contact me by email, or watch this space on Monday for the link - for security reasons, I don't post the link publicly until just before the singaround. Hope to see you there. Joe Offer joe@mudcat.org |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 07 Sep 20 - 08:23 AM I might be much later than usual. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: Mrrzy Date: 07 Sep 20 - 06:04 PM I might not make it at all this week [sad frowny face] but have fun y'all! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Sep 20 - 08:52 PM We missed you, Mrr. It was a good session. Come back next week. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 08 Sep 20 - 09:27 AM I was about to ask what'd I miss? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Richard Mellish Date: 08 Sep 20 - 10:29 AM Some Zoom sessions are recorded and made available subsequently through YouTube or otherwise. Is this a possibility for the Mudcat Singaround? A few singers might want the recording paused for their bits, but I think most of us would be OK about being recorded, and it would give everyone the chance to catch up on whatever we've missed -- if we can find the time, of course. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Felipa Date: 09 Sep 20 - 12:59 PM I had already thought about how some Zoom events are also on youtube, and I concluded that it was a good thing that the Mudcat singaround isn't ... the quality - or should I say expertise - is very variable, which doesn't matter when we are a circle of friends but could be uncomfortable if we are exposed to anybody and everybody on line. Much as it would interest me to hear myself later, on the whole I prefer the privacy of an ephemeral session. What I would like to have is a Mudcat thread run by the moderators, which would give a list each week of which songs were sung that Monday. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Sep 20 - 11:39 PM The chat has almost all the lyrics to all the songs that were sung. I could post them if there's an interest, but it's easy to save the chat yourself. I've asked about recording the session, but too many people were reluctant about that. Anybody who attends can save the chat to their own computer. -Joe- I sent emails with Monday's URL out on Saturday. If you didn't get an invitation and would like to attend, email me. joe@mudcat.org (if you'd like copies of the chat from previous sessions, email me) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: GerryM Date: 14 Sep 20 - 05:33 AM If you don't join at the start, then you can only see and save the chat from the time you join (unless I'm missing some clever dodge). Joining at 7:30am Sydney time, I get to save roughly the second half of the chat. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: Richard Mellish Date: 14 Sep 20 - 06:00 AM I agree with Felipa about the variable quality/expertise/whatever you prefer to call it, but the same probably applies to most online singarounds, as indeed it does to in-person sessions when those are possible. If a session is to be recorded, anyone who wishes should be able to have the recording paused, whether because they feel that they're not very good or for any other reason (or no reason at all). That is how it works for Sharp's singarounds; but in practice I think few if any do request a pause. But anyway Joe has sounded out participants for the Mudcat one so I won't pursue it beyond this post. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: leeneia Date: 14 Sep 20 - 07:10 PM It was another enjoyable session. Thanks to the organizers. I had a doctor's appt beforehand, and while I was waiting, I sang my song to warm up my voice. One might as well make use of the time. By the way, I had to visit the ER mid-week, and while the DH and I waited in our room, we heard people laughing in the hall several times. This is not the view of an ER that we get from the media. (I came out okay.) I have a question: during the Singaround, does the volume I set on the sliding bar of my own computer affect the volume at which my song goes out, or does Zoom make sure my volume is good? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: Noreen Date: 15 Sep 20 - 04:00 AM Your listening volume has no effect on what goes out, leeneia. There are various settings you can adjust to make your sound the best it can be- if you join the session early next time (before we start singing) you can try adjusting settings and get feedback on what works best. Another lovely session last night, thanks all! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: leeneia Date: 15 Sep 20 - 12:22 PM Thank you for the information, Noreen. Apparently my sound settings are acceptable. Zoom seemed a little peculiar on Monday - people's pictures popped up and then disappeared, even though they were not singing at the time, and twice it tried to sign out of the session without my asking it to. But I suppose Zoom's system is under a lot of pressure now. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Sep 20 - 03:14 AM I just sent out the emails with this week's link. If you didn't get one and would like to attend, email me, joe@mudcat.org Hope to sing with you soon. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 20 Sep 20 - 02:52 PM What was RBG's fave folk song? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Sep 20 - 07:29 AM RBG and Scalia were notorious opera fans. Don't know that she spent much time on folk. See the RBG movie. The part on opera was delightful. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Sep 20 - 12:43 PM I sang "Miner's Lifeguard" and "Life's Railway to Heaven," which both use the same melody in the US. I understand that "Miner's Lifeguard" is sung to a different melody in Great Britain. I'd sure like to hear that different melody. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Noreen Date: 22 Sep 20 - 06:30 AM Sorry I missed it Joe, I’d be interested in your tune to the miner’s lifeguard. Hope all went well in my absence! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Sep 20 - 12:55 PM Hi, Noreen - we missed you, but we muddled through. I think we had a total of 44 people yesterday. Here's the seminal US recording of "Miner's Lifeguard," by Pete Seeger and the Almanac Singers: Here's an English recording by Bob Fox and Benny Graham, which uses the same melody: Here's a great choral performance by Brian Connick and Cor Meibion Onllwyn (Onllwyn Male Voice Choir): Maybe I'm mistaken and maybe the US and UK use the same melody for this song. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 26 Sep 20 - 11:21 AM Invitations for Monday have been emailed. If you didn't get one and would like to be on our email list, contact me at joe@mudcat.org. Hope to sing with you Monday! -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Noreen Date: 26 Sep 20 - 07:06 PM Re: the Miners' Lifeguard Joe, those three versions (great stuff!) were of the same tune, as is this one sung by the Wilsons. Apparently this song shares a melody with the traditional Appalachian song "Life's Railroad to Heaven." |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Sep 20 - 10:10 PM Yeah, Noreen, I thought I heard there was a Welsh melody used for "Miner's Lifeguard," but I can't find it. My memory sometimes gets scrambled. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 28 Sep 20 - 11:04 AM I may be late to the Singaround this week, roadtripping out for lunch. I can listen on the way back, though! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround-Cancelled Monday Oct 5 From: Joe Offer Date: 03 Oct 20 - 04:46 PM I'm Zoom-attending the annual Getaway of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington this weekend, and I realize that a good half of our regular Mudcat Singaround singers are attending, too. Rather than conflict with the last day of the Getaway, we've decided to cancel Monday's Mudcat Worldwide Singaround. See you next week, Monday, October 12. You can join us at the Getaway. It's a wonderful gathering, and Mudcatters have been attending since 1999. Register here: |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround-Cancelled Monday Oct 5 From: Sarah the flute Date: 04 Oct 20 - 11:58 AM Hoping to go to the dogs with you later Joe. Just doing the last session at Virtual Tenterden Festival first but that finishes at 9.30pm so should be with you soon after!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround-Cancelled Monday Oct 5 From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Oct 20 - 04:50 PM We'll miss you, Gerry. The Getaway is wonderful, and so many of our regular Singaround singers found their way to the Getaway. Many are on the tech staff, or are leading workshops. I had so much fun leading the dogs workshop with Dawn Berg (she was the adult in the room). -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 12 Oct 20 - 09:14 AM Refresh - we are on today, right? |

|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Felipa Date: 13 Oct 20 - 05:12 PM I suggest it would be nice to sometimes have a theme for the night. It wouldn't be obligatory; but if people are invited in advance to sing a song relating to a given topic, I expect many of the singers would oblige. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Tattie Bogle Date: 13 Oct 20 - 06:40 PM We had quite a lot of autumnal/seasonal/October songs on our local Zoom session tonight, and later this month will be Hallowe'en! |
