Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround From: Sarah the flute Date: 06 Jun 20 - 03:53 PM That sounds good to me Nothing much else on a Monday and 9pm start is good Sarah |

Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround From: Noreen Date: 06 Jun 20 - 07:31 PM I’m up for it too, 9pm Mondays is good for me, and Zoom works well. Are you up for organising it Joe? ?? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround From: Joe Offer Date: 06 Jun 20 - 08:38 PM Okey-dokey. I think we have a minyan. Well, it's supposed to be 10 adult, circumcised males, but we'll make do with what we've got. Monday at 8 PM London time. That's Noon here in California, 3 PM at Mudcat Central in Pennsylvania, and 5 AM in Sydney.I'll host. I'll post the link to the Zoom session here in this thread just one hour before we begin, and I'll open up half an hour early at 7:30 PM for cocktails and conversation. There will be a waiting room, and I reserve the right to reject people I don't recognize - so please use your Mudcat names. Sorry. This should be fun! -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround Monday 9 PM London time From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Jun 20 - 06:22 AM When you enter Zoom, you will usually be give the opportunity to give the name you want to be known by for the session. If you have not used Zoom since June 1, you may be asked to update to the new, encrypted Version 5 of Zoom. It seems to be quite stable, so just OK the download and there you go - good reason to show up early, though. I'm looking forward to this. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Jun 20 - 12:35 AM I will post the link in this thread Monday, an hour before the gathering. I will also send links by personal message Sunday, to members who post in this thread. If you've pasted anything above, you'll get a pm from me Sunday. Sorry, I can't send personal messages to Guests, so you'll have to look here Monday for the link. I will change the meeting ID every week for security purposes. I can't handle anything that comes in Monday, because I'm teaching a Class Mondays and have just half an hour free after the class. Looking forward to seeing you Monday. Joe |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Noreen Date: 21 Jun 20 - 02:45 PM Yes that’s right Amergin, for security reasons the new link is only put up about an hour before the start each week, so less likely to attract gatecrashers. I think it’s even better than the old HearMe (which I remember very fondly) because we can see each other too! Joe Offer has of course gone another step further and often searches for and adds info and words for the song being sung, in the chat box in real time... which sets this Mudcat Singaround apart from all others I’ve been involved with. Mudcat is once again in the vanguard of new ideas! (I wonder whether the wonderful Max might join us one week?!) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Stilly River Sage Date: 22 Jun 20 - 11:45 AM The link people have posted here gives the first-time user the opportunity to download the software even if they load it before or during the event. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays on Zoom From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Jul 20 - 03:19 AM This thread is getting pretty long, but I think I'd like to preserve it as the go-to place for the singaround. Feel free to post whatever you like here (especially lyrics to songs you have sung or will sing), but I'll probably move most messages over two weeks old to our overflow thread (click). I'm having the best time at this Monday singaround. My big black dog Madeleine loves it, too, and she often comes into my office to listen while we're singing. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 21 Jul 20 - 05:18 AM Is Lawson alluding to Adam Lindsay Gordon's romance with Jane Bridges throughout the poem? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: GUEST,Gerry Date: 21 Jul 20 - 05:31 AM SPB, the reference to Gordon in the 4th stanza is, indeed, to the poet Adam Lindsay Gordon, but the interpretation I've heard is that the poem has more to do with Lawson's relationship with Hannah Thorburn. She died just six weeks before Lawson & his wife, Bertha, arrived back in Australia from two years in England. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Jul 20 - 07:49 AM Gerry and all who are just discovering Mudcat: You need to join (write to Joe@Mudcat.org). Guests are welcome to search and use the site, but membership does offer a few extra perks. And by all means, poke around and find the lyrics we already have here. It'll save you a little time reposting them. For example, Gerry, Lawson's poem Do You Think I Do Not Know is an example already in the DT. You are liable to find lyrics there you want to start using! Good to see all of the new names and faces yesterday. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Jul 20 - 07:59 AM Gerry, I also found the thread discussing Tumba-bloody-rumba and posted a link back to your post here, but putting the lyrics there would be helpful. For newcomers to Mudcat, we have the "Lyrics & Knowledge Search" for keywords and song titles. Use as few words as you think will bring up results and if it doesn't work the first time Max added a supersearch that hoovers up stuff all over Mudcat and the Internet. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Monday!!! From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Jul 20 - 01:45 PM If there are songs posted here, they will eventually be moved to a thread for that particular song. So, free to post lyrics here, and I'll move them in good time. We don't currently have a way of correcting the Digital Tradition Folk Song Database (DT), and maybe it's a good idea to leave it as Dick Greenhaus left it when he died. I am gradually trying to ensure that there is a thread to cover every song or family of songs in the DT. The best place to look for correct lyrics is in the threads, not in the DT. If the lyrics in a thread have proper title, songwriter, and source information, you can be reasonably sure they're correct. If the title is allcaps and bold and large, that means it has been reviewed for correctness. -Joe- I will use this thread as the permanent notification thread for the singaround. As messages get out of date, I'll move them to the overflow thread or to song threads. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Gerry Date: 04 Aug 20 - 03:51 AM Joe, the lyrics you posted in chat for The Swaggies Have All Waltzed Matilda Away are fine, with just two corrections. In the last verse, "Coolies" should be "Koori". Koori is the name the Aboriginal people of New South Wales use to describe themselves. And the fellow who wrote the song was Alistair Hulett, with a double t at the end. Thanks again for putting the show on. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Oct 20 - 12:45 AM A very spooky day of songs. Lots of good singing, some of it moderately scary. My house generator lasted all day on a 6-gallon tank of gas, and the mains power finally came on as our singaround was ending. One woman from the San Francisco Bay area sang a "Broken Token" song. When she introduced the song, she said it was written by Vikki Appleton Fielden. I started to introduce Vikki to the singer, but Vikki shushed me. So, we all held our tongues while the singer sang Vikki's song - and we all got a good laugh out of it afterwards. The woman sang very well, and Vikki was thrilled to have somebody sing her song. Thank you all for a wonderful gathering. Back to the usual times for next week's gathering. This daylight savings discrepancy lasts only one week, and then the US and UK are back in sync again. -Joe- We missed you, Casey. Hope the electric power is back on at your wilderness home. Thanks to Noreen for doing a great job of hosting, and to Dawn for assisting. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Noreen Date: 19 Nov 20 - 12:28 PM That's great Gerry thanks! So many great songs I missed by leaving early. Do you remember who sang Song for Vic? Not heard that for too long. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Monique Date: 19 Nov 20 - 03:20 PM The breeches/petticoat swap is sung after the 4th verse in the live rendition. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 19 Nov 20 - 04:14 PM Moorley Man, Monique, thanks for filling in some gaps. The things I miss by insisting on getting dressed and having some breakfast before joining the festivities! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Bradfordian Date: 20 Nov 20 - 07:42 AM I’ve not been logging the songs I do on Mudcat Zoom. On 16th I did a poem “November” by Thomas Hood.which is listed as “No Sun, no moon” Nice to see that someone else sang “More hills to climb”, it’s a great song that I have done previously on Mudcat Zoom. On another note, “Andy’s gone with cattle” sounds interesting. If that’s a parody, anyone have the lyrics to share? Brad. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 20 Nov 20 - 08:01 AM gerry, for your list, the titles of the two songs I did were: Somebody Would Shout Out Shop (Weston & Lee - 1915), and The Gallant Shopping (Lyrics S P Belsey - 1986, Tune Trad) |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 20 Nov 20 - 05:29 PM Thanks, SPB. Bradfordian, Andy's Gone with Cattle is not a parody, it's a poem written by the Australian poet Henry Lawson in 1888, set to a tune collected by John Manifold. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 20 Nov 20 - 05:34 PM The lyrics to Andy's Gone with Cattle are in the Digital Tradition. Maybe /mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=286 will get you there. There are a couple of mondegreens in the DT version. "cheat" should be "cheek", and "tomorrow" should be "torrents". |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 24 Nov 20 - 05:41 PM Waddon Pete has a special talent for marking events, as evidenced by his In Memoriam Permathread. He tells me our singaroud on November 30 will be our 25th singaround. I had no idea we had done so many. Every one of them has been delightful - and almost all of them have lasted 5 hours! Here's hoping we will have many more, even after we're able to get together in person to sing. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe_F Date: 24 Nov 20 - 05:53 PM Just as wonderful as the singing was the actual conversation afterward. Knowledgeable, cheerful people, so polite that they didn't have to mute. %^) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: pattyClink Date: 26 Nov 20 - 10:40 AM Well done Gerry. I wonder if singers could make an effort to start off by naming their song. I don't get much out of a long rambling intro if I don't know what song they are talking about. And Gerry's not the only one taking notes, lots of us are collectors wanting to add to our bag . |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Nov 20 - 03:48 PM One of the great mysteries to be unveiled every week, is the location of pattyClink. One week, she was in Arkansas. Last week was Arizona. Where next? She's welcome to park her motor home in Joe Offer's driveway in Applegate in the Sierra Foothills of California. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: The Sandman Date: 27 Nov 20 - 05:16 PM the hawk and the crow should be,, two strings to a bow, from kevin mitchell |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 27 Nov 20 - 06:01 PM Thanks, Sandman. At https://afolksongaweek.wordpress.com/2016/09/02/week-261-the-hawk-and-the-crow/ it's called The Hawk and the Crow, but it says "I learned this from one of my absolute favourite singers, Kevin Mitchell, via his 1977 Topic LP Free and Easy. Kevin calls it ‘Two Strings on a Bow’, and he learned it from Anne Brolly of Dungiven, County Derry. The LP notes say American singers call this song The Bird’s Courtship or The Leather Winged Bat." So evidently this is a song of many titles. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: pattyClink Date: 28 Nov 20 - 10:46 AM Joe O, I wish I had known there was a friendly face in Applegate in 2018! Tried towing a trailer over the Donner Pass on a 95 degree day. Made it to Emigrant Pass before boiling over. Had to be towed all the way back down to Auburn. Bad couple of days! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 29 Nov 20 - 11:31 AM pattyClink if you are working backward through the alphabet, does that mean you will be in Alaska on Monday and Alabama the following week? After that, do you go forward alphabetically, or revert to Wyoming? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: pattyClink Date: 29 Nov 20 - 06:55 PM SPB, that is a brilliant plan! Alas, I have no plan..... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 05 Dec 20 - 08:29 PM Got sucked into a John Wayne marathon... Remember the big staged saloon fight between Kirk Douglas and John Wayne in War Wagon? Anyway the piano player is frantically plinking to keep the crowd happy and *what* he was plinking, I noticed, was ... ...The Clouds Gwine Roll Away, which I had just sung! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 06 Dec 20 - 06:28 AM Joe, shouldn't the title be more key of arrrrr - which fits in more with folk stereotyping ;) |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: MoorleyMan Date: 06 Dec 20 - 05:03 PM No, SPB-Cooperator - that's the version they played on pirate radio! ... |

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. |

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 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 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 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: 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: GerryM Date: 17 Dec 20 - 09:57 PM Here's my list of songs/poems/readings that were performed, in order, at the Singaround on 14/15 December 2020. Thanks to Moorley Man for filling me in on what was done before I joined. I think the only title I didn't get was for the poem Andrew wrote & read about being kicked out of a poetry society for wanting poems to rhyme. Also, I'm not sure whether Hazel's second song is called "I'll Bring the Whiskey if You'll Bring the Wine", or "Old Friends". Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks all welcome. Here's what I have: The Pickle Tree Carol Raiders of the Lost Shark (poem) The Mistletoe Bough Dunster Carol When You Are Old And Grey Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal Pastres Rintratz Vòstrei Tropèus (Shepherds, bring your flocks in tonight) Jerusalem Cuckoo (aka I Am a Donkey Driver) The Wexford Carol Do You Hear What I Hear Merry Christmas, Baby (Do) The Rock of Ages Lovers and Friends Ar Gyfer Heddiw’r Bore (For the Sake of This Very Morning, in Welsh) Come All You Jolly Mummers Carol for the Twelfth Day Of All the Birds I Must Go Home Tonight Tarry Flynn Twas a Month Before Christmas (poem) A Silent Night (Christmas 1915) (When We Go) Rolling Home The Galway Shawl The Greatest Story of All Now the Day is Over The Death or Glory Wassail Shepherds Arise Lines Suggested by a Tennessee Song (poem) Adeste, Fideles The Potato Song Send Me to Glory in a Glad Bag Hanerot Halalu Dark December The Trees are All Bare Auntie Julia There's a Song in the Air It's Better Than That Amourette (formerly known as Exercise 77) See Amid the Winter Snow (instrumental) Hanukah in Santa Monica (poem about free verse) Bottle O' the Best Fields of Athenry Sam Small's Christmas Pudding The Coventry Carol Albert and the Lion The Snows they Melt the Soonest Vive le Vent (French version of Jingle Bells) The Boar's Head Carol I Wish You Enough Darby Ram The Carol Singers Eibhlin a Run (Eileen Aroon) Glory Hallelujah A Christmas Carol (reading from Dickens) While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks on Ilkley Moor The Boys in the Back Room Rock of Ages (Hanukah version) The Latke Carols – First Carol Zen Gospel Singing When the Children Come Home Jolly Old Hawk Pat-a-Pan (aka Willy, Bring Your Little Drum) Old Friends (I'll Bring the Whiskey if You'll Bring the Wine (?))

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: 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: 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: 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: GUEST,John McGee Date: 23 Dec 20 - 09:53 AM Thanks, Leeneia. John. |

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 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 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: 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 |

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 |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Mar 21 - 07:28 PM Hi, Everyone - Please note that because the US and UK change to Daylight Savings time on different dates, our Singaround for the next two weeks, March 15 and 22, will begin at 7 PM London time. In the US, starting times will be the usual Noon in Los Angeles and 3 PM in New York. Those of you in the rest of the world will have to figure out the starting time on your own, because you're less likely to confuse it than I would be. We open the doors and chit-chat for half an hour before starting time, and then we sing for about 5 hours and then have an online party. I'll post a link here about an hour before we open our doors on Monday. If you want advance notice, email me to get on the weekly email notice list. I'm sending out this week's email right now. joe@mudcat.org |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Mar 21 - 09:00 PM Another wonderful gathering. We had something over 50 participants. That keeps us singing for FIVE hours, going twice around the circle. I think we can sustain this as long as we have twenty participants. After that, I think we should talk. But for me, every Monday has been wonderful since we began.....and then I have to take a serious nap right afterwards. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 03 Apr 21 - 06:38 PM Come one, come all! The announcement for the April 5 Singaround just went out by email. If you'd like to be added to the list or if you didn't get your announcement, email me, joe@mudcat.org It happens every Monday and goes for about five hours. Doors open half an hour early. Singing begins at Noon in Los Angeles, 3 PM in New York, and 8 PM in London. Hope you can come. I've been asked to remind people to keep conversation and spoken song introductions to a minimum during the singing portion of our gathering - but we do appreciate it if you give us the name of the song before you sing, and a brief explanation is always welcome. Our schedule makes some people be up at ungodly hours, and they've come to sing, not talk. We stay open for conversation afterwards for as long as people want to stay. In general, we have a five-minute time limit per person. Don't fill obliged to fill up the whole five minutes. In short: Don't talk Too Much!! |

I was planning to do a short (less than 5 minutes) description of a Czech traditional Easter custom instead of the first song. (Illustrated if I would be allowed to screen share). |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 24 Apr 21 - 07:12 PM Emails for Monday's Singaround went out a couple hours ago. Email me if you didn't get an email and would like to attend. joe@mudcat.org
Oh, and could one person who received my email today post acknowledgement here, so I'm sure it went out? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Charmion Date: 10 May 21 - 07:40 AM Hi, Joe — I would like to join the Zoom singaround from Stratford, Ontario. How do I do it? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: YorkshireYankee Date: 17 May 21 - 09:26 PM As requested, here are the words of the parody I sang this evening. Note: This is written by someone in the UK, and verse 4 (which I skipped this evening) refers to a now-infamous incident in the spring of 2020 during the UK's first lockdown, when Prime Minister Boris Johnson's chief adviser Dominic Cummings violated the rules he had helped to write – by driving himself and his family ~250 miles from London to Cumbria, after discovering he and his wife had clear symptoms of Covid and then about a week later drove 30 miles to scenic Barnard Castle "to test his eyesight" before returning to London (it was just a coincidence that it happened to be his wife's birthday) – and, in spite of public outrage, did not resign and was not sacked. ( More info here.) I LOVE NOT WHERE I LIVE A topical parody of the song 'I Live Not Where I Love' by Colin Andrews Come all you folks who social distance at least two metres from your friends Come let me tell you what I miss and ask when will restrictions end We're not allowed to kiss or cuddle or give a friend a loving hug Or even sing a song together just in case we spread the bug Regulations now require us to wear a mask when in a store To help defeat corona virus we (must) keep our distance when outdoors But government advice is farcical when its adviser all the rules ignores And takes a trip to Barnard Castle, no apology, just a curt 'Up yours' Around the world among all religions folk have in their thousands died While some leaders don't care a smidgeon and others still the threat deny The world has changed and life seems strange no jet-setting to distant lands Virtual socialising, sanitizing and the government will wash its hands So be aware lads be aware lasses, if I could only have a choice I'd fly away to safe New Zealand far from Johnson's waffling voice But since I'm furloughed I can't follow my wishes or my job I'd lose I'll stay in my pod and pray to God for some day soon much better news |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 31 May 21 - 08:16 PM Another lovely gathering, the last of our first year. Our one-year anniversary celebration will be next week. Bring your best songs, even if you've sung them before. Everybody gets two chances to sing unless they arrive very, very late. See you next week. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: one year anniversary From: Felipa Date: 01 Jun 21 - 11:37 AM I don't know which are my best songs (if anyone wants to pmail me with advice ...?). But we also had a suggestion to sing songs about parties and celebrations, so I am hoping some singers take up that suggestion. And probably a couple of Mudcatters would be inspired to compose a ditty specifically for the occasion. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Jun 21 - 08:23 PM Big construction project at the Slowick-Offer household Saturday. We built a fence to keep our dogs from the neighbor's dogs (and cows). You should have the email by now. See you Monday!! -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: GUEST,Emmie Date: 14 Jun 21 - 11:40 AM Hi, when is the next singaround please? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: Noreen Date: 19 Jul 21 - 12:03 PM Hello Emmie, it is held every Monday at the times above depending where you are in the world- or early Tuesday morning for our members in Australia and New Zealand. You can be added to the mailing list and then you'll have the notification each week. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: Noreen Date: 19 Jul 21 - 12:07 PM Time again to go Mudcatting! Join singers from all over the US, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and...where else? Hear singing in English (both British and American), Irish, Scots Gaelic, Occitan, Hebrew, French, German, Breton, and… what else? We start sing at NOON pacific daylight time, 3 PM in New York, and 8 PM in London. We sing for around five hours, depending on how many attend, and it's always wonderful. Doors open half an hour early for schmoozing and numbering the singing order. Be sure to update to the latest version of Zoom. Through the miracle of technology, this session will be hosted by Noreen Keene (in England with Irish connections) with backup hosting from Casey Casebeer in California. And let’s have a round of applause for the wild and wooly Mudcat session assistant volunteers, without whom all would be anarchy and pandemonium. (Anarchy and pandemonium have their place, granted, but not at an event that gets through 30 to 60 singers every session!) Joe is on vacation, and about time. He’ll be back next week. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: Joe Offer Date: 14 Aug 21 - 08:54 PM Email for Monday just went out. Let me know if you didn't and you'd like to join us. I'll add you to our weekly email list. joe@mudcat.org |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: GUEST,Bradfordian Date: 17 Aug 21 - 04:00 AM Firstly…..HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE OFFER. Many lovely tribute songs to NANCI GRIFFITH yesterday on Mudcat Zoom Monday, especially loved Joe’s rendition of “Across the great divide” Thank you Joe, and all the wonderful performers |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: GerryM Date: 17 Aug 21 - 08:44 AM "Across the Great Divide" was written by Kate Wolf (but Nanci Griffith did it splendidly). |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Oct 21 - 11:27 PM I sent out the invitation for Monday, October 4. Please contact me, joe@mudcat.org, if you didn't get an invitation to Monday's sing and would like to attend. Since 1999, the annual Getaway of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington has been the annual gathering for Mudcatters worldwide. It happens next weekend, Oct 8-11. We're going to cancel the Mudcat Singaround for October 11 and invite Mudcatters to attend the Getaway that weekend. It's a wonderful gathering. https://www.fsgw.org/getaway |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Oct 21 - 11:36 AM Hi, Everybody - We usually sing Mondays on Zoom - Noon Los Angeles time, 3 PM New York, and 8 PM in London. We sing for about 4 hours, and get about 40 singers from all over the world. We won't be meeting next week because we'll all be at the FSGW Getaway (Oct 8-11, 2021), so come sing with us today and every Monday except next week (come to the Getaway next week). |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Oct 21 - 08:24 PM I I sent out Monday's invitation and Zoom link today. If you'd like to join us and didn't get an email, email me at joe@mudcat.org During the week, I see posts from people asking about a song. Think about coming to the Singaround and singing what you know of the song for us. If you're short on time and can't wait two hours to sing, let me know in the Zoom chat and I'll squeeze you in early. The idea of the Worldwide Singaround is for Mudcatters to meet each other and share songs. I try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate everyone. If you have any comments, feel free to speak up. Joe |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: Taconicus Date: 22 Nov 21 - 07:20 PM Do you ever post videos of the performances, Joe? I know you record them. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Nov 21 - 08:20 PM Hi, Taconicus - we allow singers to record their own performances, but we agreed by consensus not to record the entire session. Sure wish I had a recording of George singing "The Queen and the Soldier" (Suzanne Vega). |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 20 Dec 21 - 12:51 PM We hope to be able to pop in for the happy cocktail half-hour before the session tonight. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom NOW!! From: GUEST,GUEST.MaJoC the Filk Date: 11 Jan 22 - 07:59 AM Wonderful first time for me last night. I mentioned afterwards to Herself that someone sang the Hedgehog Song. "No!" says she, delightedly. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays! From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 18 Jan 22 - 12:40 PM Sorry I missed Monday - still getting over the first cold I have had for 2 years (not Covid) which has knocked me flat. Hope to be back on Monday with the semblence of a voice. |
