Subject: RE: Lyr Req: burning of the bruce by michael greiner From: GUEST,# Date: 16 Jun 21 - 12:03 PM Here's a brief story about the oyster schooner Robert Bruce. I have as yet been unable to find contact info for Michael Greiner. https://www.historylink.org/File/5433 |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: burning of the bruce by michael greiner From: GUEST,Observer Date: 17 Jun 21 - 02:40 AM Fascinating story, it backs up what has always been considered as good advice to anyone working at sea - Never piss off, or get on the "wrong" side of the Cook. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: burning of the bruce by michael greiner From: GUEST,# Date: 17 Jun 21 - 09:52 AM There is a Michael Greiner playing hurdy gurdy on the following track from 1991. I'm posting the info and link in hopes it will be of help locating him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7VP0uuqFKg The song however makes my teeth ache. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: burning of the bruce by michael greiner From: GUEST,# Date: 17 Jun 21 - 10:04 AM Mary, how/when/where did you come across the song? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: burning of the bruce by michael greiner From: mg Date: 17 Jun 21 - 03:29 PM a great singer here on lower columbia in washington usa has sung it but did not have the tune so he wrote his own tune. i would like to put it on an upcoming cd about shellfish. he probably has the lyrics but does not know how to contact the author either. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: burning of the bruce by michael greiner From: GUEST,# Date: 17 Jun 21 - 04:12 PM Thanks, Mary. Finding Greiner will be very difficult. Is it possible for you to post a few lines from the song? If we can find that anywhere online, it will certainly make finding the author easier (if it's possible). |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: burning of the bruce by michael greiner From: John C. Bunnell Date: 17 Jun 21 - 09:04 PM There's another thread about this with some partial lyrics posted, which identifies their author (or at least performer) as a SCAdian known as Tamarin from the Kingdom of An Tir, aka most of the Pacific Northwest. Luckily, there are a couple of smaller SCA domains located on the southwest Washington coast, one of which appears to have specific interests in matters bardic). Putting the two sets of information together gives a respectable number of leads; I've just sent out notes in three separate directions to see what I can pry loose. (As it happens, my paternal grandmother's family had/has deep roots in Pacific County, so I have a personal interest in finding the song, which I hadn't heard of till the threads here came up.) |
