Subject: RE: Worldwide Singaround thread overflow From: Mrrzy Date: 13 Jul 22 - 10:23 PM I forgot to say each verse repeats the previous idea, thus by the end ... I called my shack, Break my back And I called my cow, No milk now And I called my wife, Run for your life And I called my son, My work's done But the land was sweet and good... And thanks for the well-wishes. |

Subject: RE: Worldwide Singaround thread overflow From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Jul 22 - 11:22 PM Mrrzy, we miss you, and we'd sure like to have you back. |

Subject: RE: Worldwide Singaround thread overflow From: MoorleyMan Date: 05 Jul 22 - 06:02 PM You're in good company, Mrrzy! Fred Maslen sang this very song near the start of the singaround! Hope you have a swift recovery, all best wishes. |

Subject: RE: Worldwide Singaround thread overflow From: Mrrzy Date: 05 Jul 22 - 04:08 PM I called on on the 4th of July from the emergency room, which is why I couldn't always listen nor could I sing. My back didn't just go out, it took my left leg with it. Anyway, if I *coulda* sung, here's what I woulda sung. One of my favorite I Love America songs, set to a haunting melody, and sweetened by the immigrant's point of view. Also, the one line that just spoke to me, dans ma douleur. Not sure whose version this is, from my folks' records: When I first came to this land, I was not a wealthy man So I got myself a shack, and I did what I could. And I called my shack “Break My Back.” But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could. [Each verse repeats this form, with a different acquisition and nickname] ...cow...No Milk Now ...wife... Run For Your Life ...son ...My Work's Done But the land was sweet and good, and I did what I could. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom NOW! From: Joe Offer Date: 11 Jan 21 - 08:26 PM Looks like we had 53 people today, and it was a lovely gathering. Somebody requested that we not sing political songs, and I said that was not a request I could honor. That person left. That's too bad. We had a few political songs, and a lot of others. I would say that the atmosphere wasn't overly political, but we generally don't suppress anything. We let people choose whatever songs they want to sing. We limit conversation so we can get in lots of singing, but we really can't ban political songs. Thanks for coming, everyone. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: GUEST,Gallus Moll Date: 28 Dec 20 - 06:42 PM Freedom Come All Ye by Hamish Henderson Roch the wind in the clear day’s dawin Blaws the cloods heelster-gowdie ower the bay But there’s mair than a roch wind blawin Ower the great glen o the world the day. It’s a thocht that wad gar oor rottens Aa they rogues that ging gallus fresh and gay Tak the road and seek ither loanins Fer their ill ploys tae sport an play Nae mair will the bonnie callants Mairch tae war when oor braggarts crousely craw Nor wee weans fae pit-heid an clachan Mourn the ships sailin doon the Broomielaw Broken families in lands we’ve herriet Will curse Scotland the Brave nae mair, nae mair Black and white yin till ither mairriet Maks the vile barracks o their maisters bare So come aa ye at hame wi Freedom Never heed whit yon hoodie croaks fer doom In yer hoose aa the bairns o Adam Will find breid, barley bree an paintet room When McLean meets wi his freens in Springburn Aa they roses an geans will turn tae bloom An a black boy fae oot Nyanga Dings the fell gallows o the burghers doon ___________________ FREEDOM COME A’ YE by Hamish Henderson During the early 1960s the Clyde and Dunoon were the scenes of many demonstrations against the arrival of Site 1, the US Navy’s nuclear base on the Holy Loch. Hamish Henderson wrote what was to become one of his best known and most beautiful songs ‘Freedom Come A’ Ye, dedicating it ‘for the Glasgow Peace Marchers, May 1960’ it is sung to Hamish’s adaptation of the pipe tune ‘The Bloody Fields of Flanders’. by Dunoon born Pipe Major John (Jock) McLellan DCM The words are in Scots, yet the meaning is clear to all, and the song endures now the ‘Roch wind’ is depicted as sweeping away oppression and war over the whole world. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: GUEST,Gallus Moll Date: 28 Dec 20 - 06:35 PM The painted veil 1 I’ve seen small children die of pain and hunger Those little sticks of human misery And in this day and age I often wonder How long it takes to end such tragedy For something is wrong when we can close our eyes or turn and walk away chorus: Lets change with the times our reasons and our rhythms reviewing how we think by what we hear to live out our days in many different ways will we still be the same this time next year 2 I tremble when I think of Hiroshima Support the cause for mindless wars to cease Condemn the men of power and ambition And all who’d threaten everlasting peace For God only knows there s’ so much to be done We’ve sins enough to bear chorus: 3 Beware of fools and words of doubtful wisdom The hawk who masquerades as gentle dove The bigot who professes to be Christian And murders in the name of God above To look at this world beneath the painted veil May break your heart and soul chorus: 4 Someday we’ll hear the voice of understanding Though many years may pass without a sound When suffering throughout the world is ended And bitter seeds are cast on stony ground When frontiers are gone and we are all as one When no man stands alone chorus: Music and lyrics by Iain Ingram Song notes: I wrote this song many years ago during the period known as ”The Cold War” . While the threat of nuclear war has been greatly reduced, the world in this day and age remains a dangerous place This makes the words of the song as relevant today as they were when I first penned them |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: leeneia Date: 23 Dec 20 - 12:49 AM It's almost midnight, and I've just seen John McGee's request. Joe is correct; they are my own composition. Tomorrow I'll start a new thread called Lyric Add: Clear was the Night and post the lyrics in it. What do you call it when an author disavows copyright? Common Cause? Copy Complex? Whatever it is, I'll put that notice on it. I'm glad you are interested in the words. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 22 Dec 20 - 05:07 PM John, I think that was Leeneia's own composition, so she's probably the only person who has the lyrics. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,John McGee Date: 22 Dec 20 - 11:52 AM Could someone put up the words of Clear was the Night as sung by Leeneia on 21/12? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 22 Dec 20 - 07:22 AM Eight hours! Man, Joe, you've got impressive stamina. I had a good time though I couldn't stick around too long. Zoom cut out a couple of times, and I had to rejoin. I don't know if I've got the settings wrong. I'm still learning to use the controls. I'll learn. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Dec 20 - 10:54 PM OK, so the post-singing conversation just ended. Total was 8 hours and 15 minutes, if you include the conversation. Singing was 5 hours. And it all was lovely. Thanks for coming, everyone! -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Dec 20 - 02:28 AM Hi, Everyone - I've been having trouble with blind carbon copy, and I'm not sure you all got the email. Or maybe you got it twice. If a couple of people could let me know here that they got the email, I would feel better. We have Solstice and Christmas and all sorts of celebrations. Let's celebrate them all and have a good time doing it. The next Mudcat Worldwide Singaround is Monday December 21, at 8 PM London time. That's noon here in California, and 3 PM in New York, and early Tuesday in Australia and New Zealand. I had no idea what time it starts in Israel (Shlomo says it's 10 PM), but we have singers from there, too. Come join us! We open doors half an hour before the scheduled time, sing for about 5 hours, and then chat until people are done chatting. All in all, it's a wonderful time. Some people just listen - that's OK, too. Hope you can come. Link will be posted here a couple of hours before the singaround. If you'd like to be on the email list, contact me. joe@mudcat.org |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 15 Dec 20 - 05:08 PM I'm for keeping on keeping on too. Even the worst of new year's hangovers should be bearable by the 4th! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Waddon Pete Date: 15 Dec 20 - 10:07 AM I agree with Leeneia and Mr. Happy. If the team are willing, let's carry on. It does all those who participate a power of good! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mr Happy Date: 15 Dec 20 - 09:14 AM Echoing lenia's post, I'd also like to continue. I'm not going anywhere, and the sing-a-rounds mean a lot to me too! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: leeneia Date: 14 Dec 20 - 11:19 PM I'd like to continue. I'm not going anywhere, and the sing-a-rounds mean a lot to me. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: Joe Offer Date: 14 Dec 20 - 11:31 AM Good question, Felipa. I think we should keep going, since none of the holidays are on Mondays. But we should ask what people think. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Felipa Date: 13 Dec 20 - 03:03 PM will the Monday night sing arounds continue into 2021 without a break? Christmas and New Year's Days are on Fridays this year. Do Joe and Noreen want time off, or will Mon. night sings go on as usual? After all, few of us will be going anywhere this winter I think. |

|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: MoorleyMan Date: 09 Dec 20 - 06:28 PM Yeah that was it, Joe was 00, Noreen would've been #1 of course, then Jody #4 had decided to listen not sing, which is why Monique was caught off-guard, that's right, it's coming back slowly.... SPB-Cooperator, I took the title straight from Joe's chat post... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Monique Date: 09 Dec 20 - 05:37 PM I think #4 had disappeared between Noreen and me because I was caught off-guard and didn't have the time to send Joe the link to the carol page before singing. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 09 Dec 20 - 05:23 PM Thanks for the information! Noreen was #1, didn't she sing? Wasn't there a Jody at #4? I did include Waddon Pete, he was #8 (there was no #7) and he sang the Sussex Drinking Song. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 09 Dec 20 - 08:23 AM As far as I remember, that is the right title - it is what I have always called it. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Monique Date: 09 Dec 20 - 06:19 AM I was 5th and sang an Occitan carol, Nadal tindaire (Jingling Christmas). Lyrics, translation, mp3, midi and sheet music at the link. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 07 Dec 20 - 11:54 AM I did not get the email, I thought that was what I said, sorry Joe! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Dec 20 - 11:39 AM Mrzzy, you're posting at 6:22 AM my time, and you're impatient? Didn't you get my email? We hads an even fifty participants today. Another wonderful gathering. |
