I'd like everyone to give a great Mudcat welcome to my friend Annie. I've been trying to get her to come here for a while, and I'm glad she finally did. Her Patriot game question got me interested in the whole Dylan "borrowing" of tunes thread. I'm still trying to reconcile "Farewell Angelina with "Farewell To Tarwathie" Welcome, Annie!

He's a lazy typist, he says. There are plenty of times we have wanted to break his fingers!

Anyway, I digress. Welcome, Hobbitwoman, to this strange Cafe, Check out the menu. It is a grand place. Enjoy!

Welcome Hobbitwoman! from another new member (just *slightly* "older" than you). This is a great farthing even if it ain't the Shire. But where are the Entwives? Enjoyed your Patriot Games thread. Guest Jaze, we're bound out for Greenland & ready to sail.

...but there's no such thing as a bad hobbit.

Load up the pipe and tankard, put the furry feet up, enjoy the fire.

Hobbitwoman of the Welcomes, pay no attention to the following little affray. Entirely atypical here.

Why, Leprechaun, you miserly mythraicockle little trickster, you. Tom Clancy the "author" never *could* sing. Well not *my* tune anyway. Tom Clancy the Brother, RIP, could sing OK. Him gone, it *isn't* so grand, boys. Could act on stage prettygood too. But you, oul' pottygold, refer so cavalierly (ya black knight) to Liam Clancy the Living - contrary to his broadcast obituary coupla years back - who has been called 'the world's greatest ballad singer' by None Other than Bob Zimmerydylanman, hisself. (Whose own voice has, um, evolved with the passing years as well.) Now I know you said "Nowadays", ye Lepre. But I heard Liam last year & he was awright. OK not real loud; but awright. Still Himself. He's got a couple March concerts with Robbie O'Connell. Part of his Book Tour. Youth will in time decay. Beauty must fade away. Hair, too. So call me a Loyalist but Liam Clancy can still sing, sez I. May yer hens never lay, may yer horse never neigh, may yer goat fly away like an ould paper kite. With all due respect of course.

Thank you, thank you, one and all! I was away from the shire last night, seeing Joan Baez in concert with Richard Shindell, Dave Carter and Tracey Grammer - wonderful show!! - and was blown away to come back to such a warm welcome and so much terrific information on my Patriot Game thread. Jaze is indeed responsible for leading me here - Jaze, have ya heard the song yet???

Annie (Farewell to Taiwathe and Farewell Angelina, huh? Hmmm!)

Hobbitwoman:
My wife got a last minute invite to that concert last night in Wilkes-Barre and enjoyed it tremendously, especially a song about a broken mirror.

If you are from the area, we have a singing circle (and some storytelling) once a month and you're welcome to join us. Our next meeting is in Scranton on Fri March 1. Send a PM (private message) if you want the address or phone number. We're a very unpretentious group.

Tony, thanks, will do! The song your wife referred to is called Crack In The Mirror, and it's awesome - Joan did a fantastic rendition of it at the concert Wednesday night.

Steve - thanks for the welcome - I think! :o)
