Jack or John Hall...was born of poor parents who lived in a court off Grays Inn Road, London, and who sold him for a guinea at the age of 7 to be a climbing boy...Finally, having been taken in the act of burgling a house in Stepney, he was hanged at Tyburn on 17 December 1707. The Sound of History by Roy Palmer A broadsheet of his Gallows Confessional was put to the melody of Captain Kidd, previously executed for piracy in 1701. Jack Hall's song was made popular in the 1850s with the adaptation Sam Hall by English comic minstrel, C.W. Ross. everything.explained.today Ross’s ‘dismal Psalm-tune’ - also used by Walter [Pardon] - has been on the go for at least three hundred years and has done service for such songs as William Kidd, The Praties They Grow Small, Aikendrum and the hymn Wonderous Love. Reg Hall Voice of the People - Volume 17. They drove me up Tyburn hill in a cart, in a cart, They drove me up Tyburn hill in a cart, They drove me up Tyburn hill, that’s where I made my will.

The high ground of Hill 60, south of Zillebeke, was created in the 1850s by spoil dumped from the cutting for the railway line between Ypres and Comines. At 3:10 a.m. on 7 June 1917, 990,000 pounds (450,000 kg) of explosives went off under the German positions, demolishing a large part of Hill 60 and killing c.?10,000 German soldiers between Ypres and Ploegsteert.

Suddenly it's Christmas, right after Hallowe'en Forget about Thanksgiving, it's just a buffet in between There's lights & tinsel in the window they're stocking up the shelves Santa's slaving at the North Pole in his sweatshop full of elves There's got to be a build-up to the day that Christ was born The halls are decked with pumpkins and ears of Indian corn Dragging through the falling leaves in a one-horse open sleigh Suddenly it's Christmas seven weeks before the day Suddenly it's Christmas, the longest holiday When they say 'Season's Greetings', they mean just what they say It's a season, it's a marathon, retail eternity And it's not over 'til it's over and you throw away the tree Outside it's positively balmy, in the air nary a nip Suddenly it's Christmas, unbuttoned and unzipped Yes, they're working overtime, Santa's little runts Christmas comes but once a year and goes on for two months Christmas carols in December and November too It's no wonder we're depressed when the whole thing is through Finally it's January; let's sing Auld Lang Syne But here comes another party shaped just like a Valentine Suddenly it's Christmas the longest holiday The season is upon us, a pox, it won't go away It's a season, it's a marathon, retail eternity And it's not over 'til it's over and you throw away the tree No it's not over 'til it's over and you throw away the tree Iat's still not over 'til it's over nd you throw away the tree |

Jack or John Hall...was born of poor parents who lived in a court off Grays Inn Road, London, and who sold him for a guinea at the age of 7 to be a climbing boy...Finally, having been taken in the act of burgling a house in Stepney, he was hanged at Tyburn on 17 December 1707. The Sound of History by Roy Palmer A broadsheet of his Gallows Confessional was put to the melody of Captain Kidd, previously executed for piracy in 1701. Jack Hall's song was made popular in the 1850s with the adaptation Sam Hall by English comic minstrel, C.W. Ross. everything.explained.today Ross’s ‘dismal Psalm-tune’ - also used by Walter [Pardon] - has been on the go for at least three hundred years and has done service for such songs as William Kidd, The Praties They Grow Small, Aikendrum and the hymn Wonderous Love. Reg Hall Voice of the People - Volume 17. They drove me up Tyburn hill in a cart, in a cart, They drove me up Tyburn hill in a cart, They drove me up Tyburn hill, that’s where I made my will.

Subject: RE: Any November Songs? From: Pete from seven stars link Date: 29 Nov 22 - 07:02 PM 1.Trees in November look sad and bare Branches are empty , leaves on the ground Foliage fallen and it carpets the earth Scattered and drifting without a sound. 2. Life can be hard , our hopes fallen down Sometime like trees we desolate stand Forgetting the sap is still in the trunk Renewing hope by an unseen hand. 3. Life like the branches is complex , we find Intricate patterned against stormy sky Branches though silent they reach upward still Like praying hands to God lifted high. 4. merciful God who created the trees comfort the hearts of those who weep give them the grace , to reach out to you the leaf that falls, to the love most deep. My own song . TREES IN NOVEMBER line inspired from a line in Watership Down |

Subject: RE: Any November Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 22 Nov 22 - 03:48 PM 22 November On this day in 1963, John F Kennedy, president of the United States, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, during the run-up to the 1964 presidential campaign. "He Was a Friend of Mine" is a traditional folk song in which the singer laments the death of a friend. Ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax was the first to collect the song, in 1939, describing it as a "blues" that was "a dirge for a dead comrade." The Byrds issued a reworded version of the song in 1965, with lyrics that lament the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Wikipedia "Abraham, Martin and John" is a 1968 song written by Dick Holler. The song itself is a tribute to the memory of four assassinated Americans, all icons of social change: Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Robert F. Kennedy. It was written in response to the assassination of King and that of Robert Kennedy in April and June 1968, respectively. Wikipedia Link to post by GerryM, above THAT WAS THE PRESIDENT |
