Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 06 Oct 23 - 11:59 AM There are many English and Irish customs about Michaelmas, 29 September or Old Michaelmas Day, 10 October. Across the British isles it was believed, and is possibly still believed, that eating blackberries after the 29th September was a bad idea. In the Western Antiquary of 1882, it is reported that: Whilst walking the country around [Exeter], a young friend who was with me warned me against picking any blackberries: Because’ said he, grimly ‘it’s past Michaelmass Day and the Devil’s been at 'em." Traditionalcustoms Traditions from Sussex and Hertfordshire say the Devil is abroad on 10th October, and from Worcestershire and Norfolk where it’s 11th October. That’s a difference of eleven days (inclusive or exclusive) and if you know anything about the English folk calendar, this figure will ring a bell, because 10th October is Old Michaelmas Day. Folklorethursday Colum Sands has a song which mentions blackberries and September, though not the Devil, on his latest CD, Song Bridge. Before Winter Sets In; September looks out as the evening draws in, Her colours are coaxing the spiders to spin. They'll lay out their lace in the dew of the whin, For they've plenty to do before winter sets in. And down the long lane with many's the turning, Back-to-school children are laughing and learning. We'll follow the field to the blackberry hill, See the black, red and green and the blossom there still.

GERONIMO’S CADILLAC; Michael Martin Murphey was originally inspired to write this after seeing a photograph of Geronimo sitting in a Cadillac. He told American Songwriter magazine July/August 1987: "The two images together - Geronimo and a Cadillac - just struck me as a song title. It was every irony I could ever think of about our culture in two words. Their attempt to make of him what we would define as a civilized person. That was the reason they put him in a Cadillac in the first place. He was actually in jail at the time." https://www.songfacts.com/facts/michael-martin-murphey/geronimos-cadillac Geronimo's Cadillac GERONIMO by Lorne Greene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpjJO0THGxg GERONIMO by George Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bwJvDU_xRw

TELFORD’S BRIDGE by John Warner; The navigation canals that criss-cross England are magnificent feats of engineering and recall a gruelling but picturesque lifestyle. Typical of adventurous Victorian engineers, Thomas Telford chose to take his canal in a flying leap of iron 120 feet above a river. John did NOT cross this bridge in a canoe, he walked across holding Margaret's hand. So butter some bread, Sally, brew us some tea, For it's cold on old Telford's Bridge over the Dee. https://margaretwalters.bandcamp.com/track/telfords-bridge Margaret Walters Mudcat DT Lyrics /mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=10243 |

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 06 Oct 23 - 11:59 AM There are many English and Irish customs about Michaelmas, 29 September or Old Michaelmas Day, 10 October. Across the British isles it was believed, and is possibly still believed, that eating blackberries after the 29th September was a bad idea. In the Western Antiquary of 1882, it is reported that: Whilst walking the country around [Exeter], a young friend who was with me warned me against picking any blackberries: Because’ said he, grimly ‘it’s past Michaelmass Day and the Devil’s been at 'em." Traditionalcustoms Traditions from Sussex and Hertfordshire say the Devil is abroad on 10th October, and from Worcestershire and Norfolk where it’s 11th October. That’s a difference of eleven days (inclusive or exclusive) and if you know anything about the English folk calendar, this figure will ring a bell, because 10th October is Old Michaelmas Day. Folklorethursday Colum Sands has a song which mentions blackberries and September, though not the Devil, on his latest CD, Song Bridge. Before Winter Sets In; September looks out as the evening draws in, Her colours are coaxing the spiders to spin. They'll lay out their lace in the dew of the whin, For they've plenty to do before winter sets in. And down the long lane with many's the turning, Back-to-school children are laughing and learning. We'll follow the field to the blackberry hill, See the black, red and green and the blossom there still.

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 27 Sep 23 - 11:17 PM 28 September 929 King Wenceslaus of Bohemia, GOOD KING WENCESLAS of the Christmas carol, was murdered by his younger brother, Boleslaw. In 1853, English hymnwriter John Mason Neale translated the lyric from a Czech poem by Václav Alois Svoboda,[1] in collaboration with his music editor Thomas Helmore, and the carol first appeared in Carols for Christmas-Tide, published by Novello & Co the same year.[2][3] Neale's lyric was set to the melody of the 13th-century spring carol "Tempus adest floridum" ("Eastertime Is Come") first published in the 1582 Finnish song collection Piae Cantiones.

Railways were still a novelty when the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway was opened in stages between 1852 and 1853. O come and listen to my song / And I will not detain you long, About the folks, they all did throng / To the Oxford and 'Ampton Railway. Chorus: Ri-fan, Ti-fan, mirth and fun, / Don't you wonder how it's done? Carriages without horses run / On the Oxford and 'Ampton Railway. When the line is finished at both ends / Then you can send your cocks and hens And go and visit all your friends / Along the Oxford Railway.
