Which one? There are a few there. Buddy Holly died 1958, of course. Rock around the clock was 1955.

Que Sera - was that 50's?

Factoid: Apparently, there is NO European language in which Que Sera means "What will be"!

Got it! (eventually) Mudcatters, you're gonna love this one!

Love Mrs P's song from the late fifties too!

If you want to look at the same site, using password folk1 (NOT dawne4! my mistake), there are some other tracks you could use.

Bradfordian, I have uploaded Ar Lan y Mor WAV and emailed you details of how to get it. It isn't too big, only 13mb.

Mrs Pavane sings under the name Dawne Oakley (her maiden name).

Bradfordian, I have arranged for Ar Lan y Mor WAV to be uploaded to a web site. I will then give you the URL and you can download - it is rather big to send on the email.

Rich-joy, I hope the CD dries out by the time it reaches me!

Genie, Clairebear is on it....... burning the midnight oil as I type.... along with 19,.... no make that 18 now, ...other 'catters who in due course will be slotted into the last CD to which I've given my own pet sub-title...... "PROMISES FULFILLED"   ;~)

Many thanks for your efforts,

Mrs Pavane, That is a MUST HAVE!!!!!
Please send me a wav file ASAP either directly, or via www.yousendit.com, www.mediafire.com any another file transfer facility to:-
[e-mail]

Maeve, Je suis désolée, mais c'est la vie! Quelle domage.

Genie, mg would be most welcome to send something along,
KT is not responding on the 'cat, can someone give her a gentle poke in the proverbial ribs?

Don't forget ClaireBear!

I strongly urge KT to submit one of her wonderful songs.

mg should also definitely be a contributor, because she writes such great maritime songs.

And I hope MAG will collaborate with me on a song for the non-seasonal one.

These suggestions are in no way meant to be a comprehensive list. We have a lot of talent here, vocally, instrumentally and as songwriters.

To hear it, you could go to www.chappuzeau.net, click on the Private link, and enter the password dawne2. You will find Ar Lan y Mor at the bottom of the list.

Hi, you could use a track from Mrs Pavane (Dawne Oakley) if you like - it is a traditional song sung unaccompanied in the Welsh language. Max has already used it in his radio program.

The song is already available as an MP3, but I could send a WAV file or even the physical CD which it is on.

So, just harking back to my post of 22 February,.....Is there still no progress with enabling Maeve to make a recording?

It will be one of my (few) disappointments if we can't get Maeve onto one of the NEW MUDCAT CDs!!!!!

I don't suppose that kid Macauley Calkin (sp?) lives down the block? Now didn't he have a neat little recording device????? Maybe got it from TOYS R US?--- uh-- probably don't have a USB socket. Doh!

JHW- A few posts ago our noble organizer Bradfordian said,

"I have 21 'catters on the pending list -- enough for one CD. I hope to catch about 50% of those, and maybe a few more will come on board to fill up the 5th CD."

So I am sure you can send him a PM and work out a way to join in.

Thanks Will. I guess I can live with them. The recordings are nice and clear. It is the thing being recorded that I have reservations about. Why is it one's voice sounds so wrong when recorded?

Anyway, I have sent the Minstrel to Graham Pratt to ask final approval.

And will sent Past Carin to Phyl Lobl for same.

Barrie I will send 3 of the 4 we did today in separate emails and you can select what you like best.

Thanks again Will.

It is helpful to get all relevant details about songs and performers as soon as possible. ALSO, liner/sleeve notes AND lyrics.
This would save having to chase it up at the last minute.

When finalisation approaches, I WILL contact each performer who has a song/tune on the CDs with current information and seeking confirmation. There are some people who seem to go "walkabout" from time to time, so if you have submited an item for these NEW MUDCAT CDs OR the SEASONAL CD, please keep one eye on this thread.

I have 21 'catters on the pending list -- enough for one CD. I hope to catch about 50% of those, and maybe a few more will come on board to fill up the 5th CD.

There was no nomination involved, as Bradfordian said. Kat didn't know about the project until I told her about it. She spends far more time making music than reading Mudcat. Kat has "it" together, Charley, and she wouldn't think of making a comment like that about anyone.

Bradfordian, I hope you get the information you've requested regarding credits on the Sampler cds.

Barrie-

I'd just like to put in a supporting plug for Kat Logan. We listened to her last Friday at our local coffeehouse, and she is still full of energy and has a powerful voice. She just needs to get it together and send something in. However, that is not her strongest suit.

Cheerily,

Can just check something please?

On the new CDs, It is the intention to use Mudcat names listed against their song title, as on the previous Mudcat CDs. However, where groups are involved, the group name will be listed.
Real names will be used for composer/copyright credits

If anyone would like to substitute their real name for their Mudcat name on the CD song/tune listings, or where further clarification is needed PLEASE PM ME

Could someone lend Maeve a Handy Zoom recorder? If she could get a couple hours alone in the yurt without construction going on, might be great acoustic.

Sounds great, EJ - but it only works with certain platforms:

PC         "State of the art" machine (> 1 GHz recommended)
OS         Windows XP or 2000
(Win98/ME requires latest Internet Explorer 6.0, WinNT is not supported!)
Display         1280 x 1024 recommended, 1024 x 768 minimum
Sound         ASIO-compatible sound card recommended,
but should work with everything else, too

Maeve, you've taken an interest in this project right from the start, you've hoped you might be able to get something together. Well, it seems the rhunes are running against you on this score. It is very unfortunate for all of us that you haven't been able to get a recording done.

I wonder if anyone might have any feasible suggestions to be able to get a recording done. there is 5 weeks in which to achieve the impossible. I saw asign once ---- The impossible done while you wait, -- miracles take a little longer. And then someone else said there is no such word as "CAN'T"

I will be recording two this Thursday chez Will Fly's.

They also have to pass muster by the composers, so I need to send MP3s ASAP to Graham Pratt and Phyl Lobl respectively, then on to Bradfordian when/if I get the OK.

One English song and one Austrailian song and I am American.
