Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 29 Apr 01 - 02:59 PM Not something easily searched for, with a title like that! The only halfway useful reference I've found so far is this, from The Fiddler's Companion: Malcolm |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: GUEST,Bruce O. Date: 30 Apr 01 - 01:51 AM "The Queen of Sluts" is a song (claimed from recitation), with no tune noted, in Chamber's 'The Scottish Songs'. It looks like a parody of Child #277, "The wife wrapt in wether's skin".

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: GUEST,Fretless Date: 01 May 01 - 02:20 PM And is the Queen related to Eskimo Nell or Kafoozalum? |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: Abby Sale Date: 01 May 01 - 06:15 PM Child thinks it's more closely related to "Kempy Kay" (King Knapperty) #33 and has a number of common verses with the much later "Queen" in Campbell. He suggests that it, in turn, may be derived from "The Marriage of Sir Gawain." "Knapperty" is a favorite of mine (I have many favorites) and can be heard as sung by Martin Carthy on Crown of Horn. I can't be sure the tune would work for "Queen" but who knows? |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 01 May 01 - 07:50 PM I'm still assuming we're talking about the dance tune, not the song? |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: Anglo Date: 02 May 01 - 11:02 AM Is that related to the "Jig of Sluts"? (Or was that the Jig of Slurs… those keys are so close together on my keyboard. :-) |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: georgeward Date: 03 May 01 - 03:29 AM A "Jig of sluts". Would that be a term akin to "flock of sheep" or "herd of elephants" John ? |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: Anglo Date: 03 May 01 - 10:14 AM George, I think you're confusing the two meanings of "venery." |

Subject: Lyr Add: QUEEN OF SLUTS From: Anglo Date: 05 May 01 - 02:18 PM First, apologies for the thread creep, and (in the light of current forum discussions about general smartass and ego-enhancing comments on a serious music thread) apologies to those who simply want an abc of the "Queen of Sluts." Here, by way of explanation of the punning above is a reference to a book I remember from some years ago: James Lipton, AN EXALTATION OF LARKS or THE VENEREAL GAME: The authentic terms of Venery. And here, by way of atonement, is an abc for the tune in question. (More apologies may be in order - I don't know if I need to add html line breaks to an abc file. I did add them, so if there's a problem there, all I can say is oops.)

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: Anglo Date: 05 May 01 - 02:22 PM Oops again, there should have been a rest at the end of the A part.

Subject: Tune Add: QUEEN OF SLUTS From: Anglo Date: 05 May 01 - 02:27 PM Oops yet again. Now I see that I not only needed to add the breaks the first time, but I needed to add them again; I can't just cut and paste from one post to another. So now I'm not only contributing to the delinquency of a thread by using it to show off my intellect and wit, I'm also using it to practice html.

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of sluts From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 16 May 01 - 08:05 PM Now that I've finally got hold of the tune, I see that Anglo has already taken care of it. I may as well just add that it immediately follows Buttered Peas in Mike Raven's book, and that is possibly the reason for BanjoFlower's friends playing them together. For what it's worth, I've put a midi of it at the South Riding Folk Network site: Queen of Sluts (Midi) Malcolm |
