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!! |

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: 20 Mar 21 - 10:07 PM Email going out now. For you folks not yet on Daylight Savings time, remember that the Singaround will begin an hour earlier than usual. I think we go back to normal coordination on Monday, March 29. |

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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-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 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 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 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: 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 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 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- |
