If I was there I'd lead a workshop on Sea Chanteys from Lichtenstein.

And all of us, your adoring fans, would be there in rapt attention. Come back to Camp Harmony, Peter. We need you!

P.S. I got really close to Liechtenstein when I was in Switzerland last year, but I couldn't find any reason to go any closer....

Hi Joe,

Could you please move the Songwriter Song Swap to Cary Lodge at 4:15 on Thursday and move the Plowshares workshop to Cary Lodge at 1:45 on Sunday? The Sun Room is too small.

Thanks so much!

Workshops moved as requested. -Joe-

I'm up-to-date with all messages posted above, except that I haven't heard specific information from Amelia about what workshops she wants to do where.
Please note that we have fewer and smaller workshop spaces than we had at Camp Newman, although I understand that the spaces are generally nicer than the venue spaces at Newman. We also have 100 fewer campers, so attendance at workshops should be smaller than at Newman. Nonetheless, there will be heavy demand for spaces such as Hollidge Hall and Helgesson Hall, and perhaps the Cary Lodge Lounge. We may have to do some juggling to make things work.

Just want to check that there will be some sort of armless (folding?) chairs available in addition to the than couches in Cary. Thanks.

Dunno, Susan - I got the impression there are lots of portable, armless chairs in all venues, but I may be wrong. -Joe-

Joe,

I posted this request on Mudcat, but I?m also emailing it to you, just in case:

Please put me down for 2 workshops:

Sat. 11:00, Fireplace Room: Beginning Swing Dance

Sun. 11:00, Cary Lodge: Improv Theater Games

Thanks, Yael

Can you change the name of Sadie's workshop on Divergent Ballads to Divergent Versions of Ballads or the like? That is how she refers to it and it makes sense. Having Versions in there is important. Divergent Ballads didn't make sense to me.

Agreed - I believe "Divergent Versions" was the title I originally proposed for that workshop.

Sadie: since we are up on Thursday morning, and you offered to work with me on that, can you either PM me or email me so we can coordinate? I see that someone else is doing an entire Child#200 workshop so we should leave that ballad alone. Since I am new to this event I don't know what others might have been recently exhausted. A few suggestions: Barbara Allen, Sprig of Thyme, Twa Sisters; and for a non-Child-ballad, how about the family of songs in which the sailor/soldier returns in disguise and tells his waiting love that her lover is dead just to test her? (Roud 264,266,622,714,960: Pretty Fair Miss in her Fathers Garden, Servant in her Master's Garden, Mantle so Green, Banks of Claudy, Plains of Waterloo, etc).

BTW does anyone local (driving) to Camp Harmony have a 15-chord O.S. Autoharp I can borrow during camp? Mine is too large/heavy to bring on the flight. Though it would be fun to try out a 21-chord or diatonic AH I am only conversant with the 15-bar kindergarten teacher model.

(amending the above - of course, Sprig of Thyme is not a Child Ballad either, in fact not even a ballad. But a song with divergent versions for sure)

From: GUEST,Tom/Oregon - have banjo, will travel
Date: 25 Dec 17 - 12:08 AM

I assume that more workshops will happen at camp. Some others I'd like to see would be:
Songs 1) of the Old West/Cowboy Songs 2) Outlaws, Scallywags, just plain Bad Dudes and Dudettes 3) of the 19th Century - Civil War/Mining/S. Foster/Old South 4) from the Seven Seas, at least mention the wet stuff. I might kick one or more of these off although I'd be perfectly content to have someone else step up to the plate.

Sorry for the late requests. Saturday is the day for Broadway sing-along, though hard to stay out of the way of John Barleycorn. Let's try for Saturday 11:00 in Program Center (there is a a piano) or 1:45 in Cary Lodge. 1 hr is OK.

I'd like to do Old Time Piano Backup at 5:30 in the Program Center, or Helgesson Hall if Prog Ctr not available. I see that Thursday and Sunday 5:30 could work. Try for 11:00 on Friday. Saturday, we'll try to figure something out, or not do it.

Thanks.

---

You've got me confused, Kathrine - but I did the best I could. I put Broadway at 11 in the Program Center on Saturday, and Old Time Piano Backup on Thursday and Sunday at 5:30 PM in the Program Center. When you get to camp, please check out the venues and make sure they will work for you.

I will write this on the board when I get there, but for inquiring minds who want to know: Pamela and Sadie's "Divergent Versions" workshop will cover the following four songs:

Twa Sisters
Cruel Mother
Barbara Allen
Sprig of Thyme

The leaders will start off by singing one version of the song and then participants will be invited to share a different version if they know one.

*If you have a version you really want to sing let me know in advance, and we'll avoid singing that one to lead off, and call on you first in the circle.

Somebody at camp asked that I post the lyrics for the Pete Seeger / Lorre Wyatt song "Wonderful Friends" at Mudcat. Here it is:

https://mudcat.org/detail_pf.cfm?messages__Message_ID=3896842.

It's a great song, and it sums up what a wonderful time we had at Camp New Harmony this year.
