Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Mysha Date: 28 Oct 21 - 05:03 PM Hi, No idea what this was about, but nothing about Griet Zelle (performing under the name Mata Hari) suggests she was a spy. Since she lived so close-by in her youth, her history gets the occasional mention here. As the whole affair is more than a hundred years ago, the archives about her are now accessible to the public, but still nothing about spies. Griet fled when her father went broke, and she seems to have lived her life to always make sure people provided her with enough money. That's not really anything special, and neither is it that she liked boys wearing uniforms and boys not wearing uniforms. If there is something to say about her, fine, but please write something that makes sense. Bye |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: oldhippie Date: 16 Oct 21 - 12:41 PM JOHN’S GARDEN by Peter Mayer Farmer John wandered back And when he reached the pumpkin patch, began to speak He said "the weather's getting colder Summer's over and it's almost Halloween That's the day, the reason you were raised When everything about your life will change You will have eyes to see, and for that night, you'll be A bright lamp burning in the darkness But remember that candle shines for only the briefest time In a jack-o-lantern's heart" The pumpkins held a meeting then Some were very apprehensive and afraid "Could this really happen to us? What could be the meaning?" is what they were saying "This is home, it's all we've ever known" Then one bold, outspoken pumpkin spokeHe said "I don't need eyes to see , it sounds like a lie to me I like it just fine here in John's garden And remember that candle shines for only the briefest time In a jack-o-lantern's heart" There is much to ask and to ponder in the pumpkin patch When imposing old October shows up at last Then a pumpkin from the farther end Who had been silent up till then Over the commotion, said "What would you rather have my friends A chance to shine, or die here on the vine? The better way seems very plain to me You will have eyes to see, and for that night, you'll be A bright lamp burning in the darkness And maybe that candle shines for only the briefest time In a jack-o-lantern's heart Oh, but one goblin's smile should make it all well worth while You know you might even see the starlight And knowing that time is brief, makes it that much more sweet When you have a jack-o-lantern's heart" |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 06 Oct 21 - 12:55 PM During last night's Zoom session of one of our local folk clubs, we were reminded that the Eyemouth tragedy took place during October. The singer had written her own song, of which I do not have the lyrics, but here is the late John Watt's song (copied from the DT) EYEMOUTH TRAGEDY (John Watt) By the dire rocks o' Urquhart, though deadly were the signs Out sailed the Eyemouth 'fyvies' with a thousand baited lines. Though a glasslike sea and a cloudless sky made the elders bid them stay But these are the times the brave men die, but the 'halflins" (?) held the sway. Three leagues from the shore the lines were cast while the wind it held its breath And the sails hung limp from every mast and the sea was still as death For death was the bride that came that day, cut the ribbons from the creels 'Twas a raging wave hit Eyemouth town and took her bonny chiels.
There's many a bride has lost her groom as the death-toll quickly grew,
