Subject: Any March Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 20 Feb 21 - 05:28 PM
-Joe Offer- Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of March (A) Any songs with March in the title (B) Any songs with a March date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referring to an event that is known to have occurred in March even if the lyrics do not actually say so. It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them. Below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread until the end of March 2021. If a title in this index is clicked then you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occurs. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use the above “Post to this thread” or Post buttons,below, to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “ late” posts to group them with the appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked. When I add to someone’s post I make this clear by doing so beneath an orange line like the one below.

Subject: RE: Any March Songs? From: GUEST,Jerome Clark Date: 20 Feb 21 - 09:30 PM MARCH WINDS GONNA BLOW MY BLUES ALL AWAY recorded by the Carter Family on December 11, 1934. Though nominally written by A. P. Carter and his friend Leslie Riddle, it is essentially a collection of floating blues verses. Riddle, who was Black, not only collected songs with Carter but supplied him with blues material A.P. may not have heard otherwise.

Subject: RE: Any March Songs? From: Ged Fox Date: 23 Feb 21 - 11:06 AM A brave new Ballad of Admiral Collingwood (died 7th March 1810) to be sung by his countrymen to the Anti-gallican else to Humpty Dumpty or what you will. Our country calls us all to arms, To keep us safe from French alarms; repeat Then let us all her voice obey- For King and Collingwood haste away. Haste away, haste away, For King and Collingwood haste away. The noblest family on the Tyne Is scarce more famed than Collingwood’s line; In Newcastle he first saw the day And soon to sea did haste away The Preston bark of noble fame Resounded soon to Collingwood’s name At Bunker Hill he walk’d ashore, We’re Collingwood’s lads for ever more The fever coast of fort San Juan Could not harm our Northumbrian Great Nelson’s friend e’er since that day And his right hand in each affray. Off Ushant under Black Dick Howe The Barfleur fought the battle through. We trounc’d the Frenchies where they lay That first of June, that Glorious day At Cape St Vincent brave Sir John Gain’d victory against the Don Such a fight we had on Valentine’s Day We made the Spaniards haste away At Trafalgar first in the fray, And last to leave at end of day. Santyana sail’d in bright array ‘Til Cuddie claw’d her stern away. Lord Collingwood of high renown Lived once in famous Morpeth town Now in St Paul’s his corpse doth lay By Nelson’s ’til the Judgement Day! JSMF 2005 Thanks Ged Fox,another song on the same topic is "Cuddy" , a modern song written about Collingwood by Pete Wood which is to be found at the Collingwood Society website https://collingwoodsociety.co.uk/collingwood-archive/ CUDDY He was born in Newcastle-on-Tyne Soon sailed on a ship of the line With Roddam and Braithwaite he learnt his trade Northumbrians all they were made Preston and Portland his ships in the west Fighting the French and the rest, He was made lieutenant at Bunker Hill And Geordies remember him still
Chorus
At the glorious first of June
Whilst Nelson went chasing the French east and west
So swift was the brave Collingwood
After Trafalgar he ailed TRAFALGAR’S BATTLE There is another song , an older ballad about Collingwood called Trafalgar's Battle Roud Number:V20191 and the lyrics can be seen here http://ballads.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/static/images/sheets/05000/02801.gif Has anyone found on-line recordings of any of these Collingwood songs because I have not?

Subject: RE: Any March Songs? From: Levana Taylor Date: 11 Jan 22 - 02:58 AM THE PRIMROSE by Robert Burns Dost ask me, why I send thee here This firstling of the infant year? Dost ask me, what this primrose shews, Bepearled thus with morning dews?— The primrose is one of the first flowers to bloom in Scotland, in March. With "the infant year" Burns is probably alluding to the ancient Roman year having begun in March. Lyrics Recorded by Corinna Hewat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTyT9ZUblQw |

On the eighth day of March, about ten in the morning, The sky it was cloudless and bright shone the sun, When the drum on the Cumberland sounded the warning Which told every seaman to stand by his gun; several videos on youtube, including The 97th Regiment String Band Although they sing "on that ill-fated day, about 10 in the morning," they do sing the eighth day of March in the previous verse. |

Subject: RE: Any March Songs? From: GUEST,Roderick A Warner Date: 17 Mar 23 - 08:04 AM IVRY by Patti Smith I came across this performance via one of mySubstack accounts: Patti Smith singing her song ‘Ivry’ commemorating the death of French writer Antonin Artaud on March 4th 1948. Hopefully fits within the parameters for inclusion. Patti was in Paris a couple of weeks ago with an installation dedicated to Artaud and this clip is from a live performance at the Centre Pompidou. The Substack one is slightly better but I don’t want to bootleg it. This clip gives the flavour of the song: Ivry Ivry was the asylum where Artaud spent his last years. While I was listening to it I remembered the story about Artaud’s visit to Ireland which would make a droll film or song. Involving St Patrick’s walking stick or some nonsense, from memory. St Patrick’s day, Artaud’s death and the merry month of March. A nice hit… |
