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… |

Subject: RE: the Cumberland Crew 8 March From: Felipa Date: 22 Feb 22 - 04:54 PM https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=49957 a naval song of the American Civil War THE CUMBERLAND CREW For the eighth day of March told a terrible story: The most of our seamen to the swells made acclaim; Our flag it was wrapt in a mantle of glory By the heroic deeds of the Cumberland crew. 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: 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 |
