From: GUEST,henryp Date: 06 Apr 23 - 02:38 AM From: GeoffLawes Date: 05 Oct 21 - 06:00 PM; The Battle of Shiloh, also known as the Battle of Pittsburg Landing, took place from April 6 to April 7, 1862, and was one of the major early engagements of the American Civil War. From Mainly Norfolk; Martin Simpson sang Hills of Shiloh in 2019 on his Topic album Rooted. He noted: From 1977 to 1988, I worked with June Tabor. We performed a very wide selection of material including a set of songs from, or inspired by, the American Civil War. June performed Shel Silverstein's Hills of Shiloh in that set, a song which portrays a broken woman whose partner has been killed in the war, a fact that she cannot accept after 40 years. Silverstein was a great writer and illustrator of children's books and a very successful writer of songs. A Boy Named Sue, Sylvia's Mother and The Ballad of Lucy Jordan are among his best known. Mick Peat of Derby suggested that I should record the song. Thank you, Mick. June Tabor sings THE HILLS OF SHILOH ; Have you seen Amanda Blaine in the Hills of Shiloh? Walking in the morning rain in the Hills of Shiloh?

BEDTIME STORY Jan Harmon Once upon a time I caught a glimpse of April Like a spear of sunlight on a January morning I closed myself as petals, but the light unclosed me There so deep in darkness Nothing, even starlight, has such tiny fingers Stones reach out and whisper to each other without warning And nothing, even wisdom, is as kind as roses Or so rare and reckless So sleep, my dearie 'Neath the dream horse hooves I will give you, in a wreath of leaves Bedtime stories, wishes tossed Like flashing pennies by lovers. |

Subject: RE: Any April Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 04 Jun 21 - 10:54 AM Aprill is in my mistris face, Aprill is in my mistris face, And July in hir eyes hath place; With in hir bosome is September, But in her heart a could December. Aprill is in my mistris face written by Thomas Morley is one of the best-known and shortest of English madrigals; it was published in 1594, and appears to be based on an Italian text by Livio Celiano, set by Orazio Vecchi in 1587. |

Subject: RE: Any April Songs? From: GerryM Date: 15 May 21 - 07:14 AM THE BALLAD OF BARNEY GRAHAM Della Mae Graham On April the thirtieth Nineteen thirty-three Upon the streets of Wilder They shot him brave and free They shot my darling father He fell upon the ground 'Twas in the back they shot him His blood came streaming down They took the pistol handles And beat him on the head The hired gunmen beat him 'Til he was cold and dead When he left home that morning I though he'd soon return But for my darlin' father My heart shall ever yearn We carried him to the graveyard There we laid him down To sleep in death for many a year In the cold and sodden ground Although he left the union He tried so hard to build His blood was spilled for justice And justice guides us still Liner notes from Hedy West, Old Times and Hard Times: This elegy was written by teen-age Della Mae Graham for her father, who was president of the United Mineworker's Union local in Wilder. One Sunday morning Barney Graham was walking along the dirt road that was Wilder's main street, and as he passed the company store, two gun thugs shot and killed him. The community was so tightly controlled by the mine owners that no local preacher dared preach at the funeral of the dead union man; instead, the oration was preached by divinity students from Nashville. "The tune I sing here is from John Greenway' s American Folk Songs of Protest which doesn't explain its source. When Daddy knew Della Mae Graham, she recited this poem and had no written tune." The song also appears as Track 20 on Pete Seeger, American Industrial Ballads. Recording by Hedy West. Recording by Pete Seeger. |
