Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 23 Dec 20 - 09:35 PM Here's my list of songs/poems/readings that were performed, in order, at the Singaround on 21/22 December 2020. I didn't get a title for Storm's song – I've given it as "Here's Hoping" which was a repeated phrase in the song. I didn't get a title for Hazel's second song – I've given it as "Here On My Island" (but it's not the song of that name from the Barbie movie that comes up on Google). Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome. Here's what I have: Candle (poem) Merry Christmas from the Family Global Warming and the Iceberg (poem) Shepherds, Arise Green Groweth the Holly Cauld Winter The Magnon Do Virgins Taste Better?

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 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 Now!! From: Tattie Bogle Date: 22 Dec 20 - 06:21 AM Sorry to miss last night: I had already done 2 Zoom sessions on the trot, so ended up watching “Oliver” on TV! Merry Christmas all! |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 22 Dec 20 - 01:37 AM Moorley Man, many thanks, as ever! I'll incorporate the info into my post, in a few days. |
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 Now!! From: Gallus Moll Date: 21 Dec 20 - 07:07 PM Alison's (from Dunoon) songs at the Solstice Session! CAULD WINTER Iain Ingram Cauld Winter’s here again, and the days are short and dreary Wi’ bitter winds an’ snaw, that aye chill the hearts o’ many For some auld folk their plight’s a bare existence tae sustain Wi’ scrimpin’ through necessity, and strugglin’ on their ain Cauld Winter’s here again, aye severe an’ penetratin’ Nae quarter will it gie the hameless or forsaken Nor pensioner who canny heat his hoose and eat an’ all The frailest o’ society are aye the first tae fall Cauld Winter’s here again, come are days when many suffer In damp and draughty hames, on the road, doon in the gutter A time when those wi’ troubled lives through hardship and despair Need a helpin’ hand frae their fellow man tae greet the Spring once mair Cauld Winter’s here again, ah but we’ve nae cause for girnin’ We’ve heat and comforts all, for it’s luxury we live in Compared tae those o’ lesser means wi’ nae escape, nae favours free Hinging oan tae life, prayin’ they’ll survive – or pey cauld Winter’s fee. _________________________ SUFFER THE CHILDREN Eric Bogle Suffer the children to come unto me The man who said that died on Calvary And as we remember this day of His birth The children are suffering all over the Earth From the African jungles to the hills of Vietnam There are thin hungry children, black, yellow and brown They’re starving to death on their millet and rice And they don’t know Santa Claus, or Jesus Christ Suffer the children to come unto me The man who said that died on Calvary And as we remember this day of His birth The children are suffering all over the Earth As you sit at your tables at this Christmastide And you stuff the roast ham, and the turkey inside Won’t you think of those children in lands far away And the two thousand children who will die today? Suffer the children to come unto me The man who said that died on Calvary And as we remember this day of his birth The children are suffering all over the earth. ____________________ |

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: 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: 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: SPB-Cooperator Date: 13 Dec 20 - 03:19 AM Fingers crossed, tomorrow will be my last visit this year. I should be back 11 January. Vesele Vanoce a Hesky Novy Rok. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 13 Dec 20 - 03:19 AM Fingers crossed, tomorrow will be my last visit this year. I should be back 11 January. Vesele Vanoce a Hesky Novy Rok. |
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. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Mrrzy Date: 07 Dec 20 - 08:22 AM Hey I have usually gotten the link by now? Oh and good morning. |
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: 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: 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 TODAY!!! From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Nov 20 - 04:07 PM 62 total today. And the singing is lovely. |
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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_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: 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- |
