Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Monique Date: 29 Dec 20 - 04:56 AM I'm sorry I didn't join lately, I'm on vacation with friends so no singaround. We're glad we still can tour around though we have a curfew from 8pm to 6am. So see you all on Monday! |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: MoorleyMan Date: 29 Dec 20 - 09:33 AM Another great singaround yesterday! Here for the Log-keeper (GerryM), who arrived a little later than starting-time, is a listing of the first few items performed: Joe Offer - 2020 Is Almost Over by Larry Montgomery Severn Savage - The disheartened ranger Alison - The painted veil (? by Guest, Gallus Moll ?) Pelagie Crofton - Macavity (poem by TS Eliot) David Kidman - 3 Wise Women (Stanley Accrington) Jim Lucas - You can't make a turtle come out by Malvina Reynolds Richard Adrianowicz - Sandy boy Robert Rodriquez - The holly & the ivy Casey Casebeer - Young Waters (Child ballad) I think Gerry had arrived by then... |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Gallus Moll Date: 29 Dec 20 - 12:15 PM re Painted Veil, I believe the phrase w\s first used in a sonnet Lift Not The Painted Veil by Percy Bysshe Shelley. It was later used as a book title by Somerset Maugham, and more recently as a film title. Not sure where Iain heard / read it - I'll ask him! |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 29 Dec 20 - 04:25 PM Moorley Man, thanks as ever for filling me in! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Dec 20 - 11:38 PM Well, I kinda like the idea of random wisecracks.... |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: wendyg Date: 01 Jan 21 - 12:38 PM So how and what time does one join this thing? wg |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: maeve Date: 01 Jan 21 - 01:01 PM From an earlier post by Joe Offer: 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. If you'd like to be included on the email list, contact me, joe@mudcat.org For security reasons, we change the URL/address of the singaround every week, and post the URL here in this thread for only a short time. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Jan 21 - 01:54 PM Happy New Year, Everyone! Our next Mudcat Worldwide Singaround is Monday, January 4. It starts at 8 PM London time, 3 PM in New York, and noon in Los Angeles. People in the rest of the world are smart and can figure out the time for themselves, but I do know that we're on Tuesday morning in Australia and New Zealand. Doors open for cocktails and conversation half an hour before, and we start singing on the hour. We sing for about 5 hours, giving everyone the chance to sing two songs. Hope you can join us. I emailed the invitation just now, and I'll post it here a couple of hours before the singaround. I change the link every week to try to avoid evil zoombombers. -Joe- Wendy, if the email address is correct on your Mudcat registration, you should be on the email list and should have received an email. for people who didn't get an email, you can join the list by emailing joe@mudcat.org |

I didn't get a name for Patty Clink's parody of Dylan's My Back Pages.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Rusty Dobro Date: 06 Jan 21 - 06:16 PM Gerry - I learnt my song from the late Monty Parkin as ‘Marks and Spencer’, but on reflection, perhaps it should be ‘Any Title Will Do’....... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Waddon Pete Date: 14 Jan 21 - 05:33 AM Just one correction from me Gerry. "She was very fond of dancing" is properly titled, "The Calico Printer's Clerk". I also thought I should thank you for your work in generating this list every week. It's appreciated. Pete |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 14 Jan 21 - 06:49 AM Thanks, Waddon Pete. I don't think I have editing privileges here, but I'm no less grateful for corrections.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Splott Man Date: 01 Mar 21 - 04:55 PM Here's our contribution. For some reason Zoom wouldn't let me paste. Bugeilio’r Gwenyth Gwyn (Watching the White Wheat)?Original Welsh words by Wil Hopcyn (1700-1741) ?English translation by David Llewellyn (2002).??Mi sydd fachgen ieuanc ffol Yn myw yn ol fy ffansi Myfi’n bugeilio’r gwenith gwyn Ac arall yn ei fedi And what a simple fool am I Who loves at fancy’s pleasure For whilst I tend the ripening wheat Another reaps the treasure Though they may lock you dungeon deep Our love to die aborning Upon a leaf, blood’s true words speak Your deepest feelings for me But I can’t stay, my heart would break For you must take another Though stars will fall, our love may shine?As endless time discovers Then in a dream, your vows set free And to your side I hurry But from a heart, so torn in two In this life you’ll not tarry And now I lose for a second time To He whose love is greater For whilst I tend the ripening wheat Another reaps the treasure Mi sydd fachgen ieuanc ffol Yn myw yn ol fy ffansi Myfi’n bugeilio’r gwenith gwyn Ac arall yn ei fedi Follwed by??Little Collier Yr wyf i little collier, yn gweithio underground, The rope will never tori, when I go lan y lawr. Bara menyn when I'm hungry, cwrw when I'm dry, Gwely when I’m tired, and Nefoedd when I die. I'd like to cwrdd the manager, and siarad to him strong, This bywyd underground might mean, I do not byw for long. Gwrando Mister Mining Boss, us bechgyn gweithio hard Talu decent wages or your calon will grow hard. So wella our conditions, and trin my family fair, Or dwi'n mynd i Pennsylvania, am fywyd gwell lies there. To all bosses mawr y byd, you know chi fod yn true.?Talu living wages or no Nefoedd waits for you! Repeat first verse Tune : Pigau'r Dur )Steel Rods) Splott Man & Dame Pattie Smith EPNS |
