Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Star Of The Bar From: Murray MacLeod Date: 14 Feb 02 - 05:17 PM Davie Robertson recorded it on his tape "A Lowland Souch". I used to have a copy up until an hour ago .... Whereabouts in Edinburgh do you play, Chic ? Murray |

Subject: RE: ADD LYR: Star O' The Bar From: MMario Date: 21 Aug 01 - 04:16 PM I'm willing to take a shot at putting it into a form Joe understands if someone is willing to tell me if the midi I come up with sounds anything like the original. |
Subject: RE: ADD LYR: Star O' The Bar From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Aug 01 - 01:54 AM Hmmm. Ich spreche nur ABC & MIDI & Sheetmusic. Can't do tonic sol-fa, Murray. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: ADD LYR: Star O' The Bar From: Murray MacLeod Date: 20 Aug 01 - 06:38 AM I can post it in tonic sol-fa, but I do not know if that would be of any use to anybody. Murray |
Subject: RE: ADD LYR: Star O' The Bar From: Joe Offer Date: 19 Aug 01 - 08:35 PM Is there a way to get the tune for this? -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: ADD LYR: Star O' The Bar From: Susanne (skw) Date: 04 Nov 00 - 01:07 PM The McCalmans do 'Star o' the Bar' on their latest CD, 'Keepers'. Thanks Jacko for saving me a lot of typing! |

Subject: RE: ADD LYR: Star O' The Bar From: jacko@nz Date: 04 Nov 00 - 02:14 AM I'd love to have Davie's parody Murray. I'm only aware of one cassette of his and it has some grand stuff on it |
Subject: RE: ADD LYR: Star O' The Bar From: Murray MacLeod Date: 04 Nov 00 - 02:10 AM At last, Davie Robertson makes it to Mudcat. Has he recorded his parody of "Up the Norran Water" yet? Probably the funniest song I have ever heard. If anyone knows Jim Reid's original adaptation of the poem and would like to have Davie's parody, I think I can remember the words. Murray |
