Well, if music sessions are so common there in Oz then I will have to think seriously about it being my future home. Back home in Maine you pratically have to drag people in to enjoy music more than once a month at a coffeehouse. Imagine, BBQs and sessions to go to as often as that!

Charley, you are going to have to make some real changes to Maine society to get them to catch up to Oz.

Well, to finish out the BBQ with our nephew and his wife's, after the fish, salad, beer, and wine, there came a large platter with a mound, the Pavlova! Good lord, how one is expected to destroy such a beautiful creation? But we had no choice but to comply, plate after plate eroded the mound down to a more or less level plain, burp!

This morning we crawled out of bed early to wish our hosts the best as they cheerfully went off to work. We'll do some clean-up, admire the birds some more in the back yard, and go back to bed! Sometime later, I'm sure, we'll finish packing and make our way to Gosford and catch the rail back to Sydney. Looks like a lovely day!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Charley - there was a tune, but it's gone! Might come back. It was still hot for shaping. Anything that trips along and fits will do. Needs a bit of a lilt to catch the internal rhymes and the sea movement. I don't know the one you mention, but I love the title.

Sounds like you know how to travel, be a gracious guest, and enjoy the world.

Sandra - It's an IQ test. If I go back, I lose. Somehow I think stupidity might just get the better of me. If I go aloft you can write me off altogether. The struggle has already started. The picture of what is going on in my head is the Roll and Go logo. Aaargh! I'm being dragged under by a sea monster.

Good luck, Chris! We do envy your access to the Craig, and please convey our best wishes to the crew, and tell them if they ever drop the mudhook in Portland-East we'll treat them all to a lobster bake.

Well, it's final packing for our exit from Sydney. What a wonderful vacation. Yesterday, we had coffee and pastries with Margaret on Glebe Point Rd., swapping archane information about folk music contacts, and turning over to her about 5 kilos of song sheet copies, one or two of which I didn't get the opportunity to sing.

Bye Charlie and Judy. Sad that you have to leave our warm shores to go back to the frozen wastes. I would love to think that one day John and I will be able to visit you and have one of those lobster bakes. It's certainly worth saving for!

Right now I have the Roll & Go CD on - it's playing "Bully in the Alley" with you singing and Brett on the bones, and it's bringing back fond memories. Today would have been a lovely day for a BBQ - perfect weather. Oh well...............

G'day Judy & Charlie,

Well, at least this holiday will have put on a layer or two of insulation for back in (in)temperate Maine!

Chris: The song The Walloping Window Blind is a relative (a cheerful 'Music Hall' bastard ... ?) of the Ten Thousand Miles Away / Old Palmer Song group. I have old sheet music for it - and could e-mail you a GIF image ... if you're interested in the dots (or you could just bend the Old Palmer Song to shape!). Personally, I can't quite fit the local tunes ... so I will have a look at how The Walloping Window Blind actually sounds ... when I get home.

Come to think of, when I first read your words, I could hear something more traditional ... something very like Rolling Down to Old Maui sounds right on a second reading.

Regards,

Bob

Brett & Charley - another great night of music at Jenny's club - Ian (from Wheeze & Suck Band), & Wheelers & Dealers. Lots of great music - & a good singing audience. But bloody hot - the fans were not much more than decorations & I spent a bit of time outside (the smoker who came outside when I was there moved a loooong way away!) The music was just as great from outside. Floor acts included a pair of shanty singers from the James Craig

Now there is no more live music till Sunday - John Dengate in a house concert, but I do have 2 new CD's - The Weavers, Rarities from the Vanguard vault (10 unreleased tracks - yummy) & The Definitive Collection of The Watersons, so I'll have lots of good stuff to listen to on Friday night. I've also been lent some blues, Leon & Eric Bibb, so I'll have enough to keep me occupied.

It was Gavin Phillips and Ian ? from the James Craig, who sang a couple of shanties - "Haul away Joe" and "Boney was a warrior". We had a very good singing audience tonight - they raised the roof!

Wheelers and Dealers are an outstanding band - probably the finest bunch of musicians Sydney can offer. Unless you heard their CD I don't think you would have had a chance to hear them, unfortunately. One of their number, Chris Wheeler, was at the BBQ. Another one of them, Tony Pyrzakowski, who is also in the Wheeze 'n' Suck Band, is the best fiddle player I have ever heard, bar none.

So it was a ripper of a night. Shame you weren't still here. I won't upset Sandra by saying we have the best acoustics in Sydney, but we're pretty damn close - certainly comparable with the Dog acoustics anyway.

Much as I like to see John Dengate as often as possible, I don't think we will be going to his house concert, as it is at Bundeena, which is way down south, in the National Park. It's the sort of place you only want to go to if you are staying overnight. So it will be a fairly quiet weekend for us - a chance to catch up with chores around the house - and prepare for the onslaught of the next weekend.

Looking back over this thread, in his post of 15 Sept. at 4.30pm, Charlie said they would be flying out of Sydney yesterday (the 4th) at 3.15pm (our time), and landing on Thurs 4th at 10pm (their time) so unless that time changed, they would have landed before this. They are probably sleeping it off right now - that would be my guess.

Hi Gang-

Yes, we landed in dear old Maine last evening at 11 pm, Thursday, December 4th, 2003. Only about an hour later than scheduled but we FINALLY got out of Chicago, and they were so glad to get rid of us; at one point the folks at the gate desk offered to let us sing a few songs over their public address system to entertain everyone but Judy wisely pulled me back to my seat. So much for "Amelia Erhardt" and "Cowardly Act." We spent the night at a Portland airport hotel as Judy had a flight to catch this morning for a conference in Oklahoma. I needed to stick around and see if my banjo showed up on the next flight from Chicago, and it finally did and it was in perfect tune!

Now I'm back at the house, with a calcio long-haired cooncat purring in my lap. The other cat seems pleased to see me but is wondering WHAT I'VE DONE WITH JUDY. Dilbert the mouse was happy to get a pre-Christmas peanut, but probably would LOVE a chocolate Koala.

There's a huge box of mail to sort through, 3 weeks of newspapers, 185 e-mails but only 6 phone messages. Not bad!

We really had a wonderful time in Oz, our best vacation ever! And we'll think of you all fondly tomorrow as the promised snow storm fills up the walks and driveway, garnishes the trees, to welcome us home.

Now to download 999 digital images!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, back in Maine

Welcome home, Charley. The news this morning is about the huge snow storm that is crippling the northeastern portion of the US. Please send me a picture. Maybe I'll laminate it and take it to the beach with me.

Judy must be struggling. Jet lag during a conference is hell. I've heard co-workers talk of the fight to stay awake when they go east for meetings or classes. I'll have my opportunity in February when I go to class in San Diego.

Oh, and just to clear up a spot of possible confusion, my class in Hawaii was postponed due to instructor illness. I don't know what the poor instructor has but s/he canceled a week ahead of the class so it must be serious.

Anyway, welcome home. Have fun with the pictures. I had my last rolls developed two days ago and bought a better album to put them in. I'll do that tonight while in front of the TV.

Brett et al-

It's really been a major snow storm here, with over a foot of snow with more to come, and a high cold wind to blow it all around. At least it's been a dry snow and we haven't had any major power outages. The driveway and the walks are clear. Judy's car battery needed to be revived after 3 weeks of meditation. Sure looks like winter around here!

Otherwise, I'm busy editing digital images that I took in Oz, hoping to pay for our trip by threatening to post some of the more embarrassing ones. However, my profits are sure to suffer from having to buy off all the photos and digital images that other people took of us.

Someone has our green squiggly that we released at the Loaded Dog. We wish them well and hope that they care for it properly.

Judy should be flying back from Oklahoma this evening, assuming that the snow ever stops. Her cat really misses her.

Hard to believe we were splashing in the surf at Maitland Bay just a week or so ago.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, still shoveling snow in Maine

A late message as I couldn't get onto the Cat for a few days, then had visitors stay.

Thanks Bob for the tune suggestions. I think I know the family you mean. Ten Thousand Miles Away would fit, but the full tune would stretch over two stanzas. There is advantage in using a known tune or tune family, as people can join in!

Charley and Judy - Glad your Northwest Passage got you safely home. Well, that's the way I visualise a flight to Maine, being innocent of any dealings with the Pacific, but I guess you really went Northeast! And the journey ain't over til the cats are happy.

If you or the Aussie Catters want some more amusement, I just found by chance the Aussie Glossary on the Mudcat, which is entertaining if slightly dubious here and there.

Chris

I found that glossary before the trip and entertained thoughts of printing it out. However, I decided I didn't need to walk around Oz with it in my hands trying to figure out what people were saying. It was tough enough trying to understand Aussie as it was. When are you people going to learn how to speak English? *Grin*

We're got a favorable report from Brett about the Oz images on our website but several other people are experiencing problems accessing it. That could be because their browsers have security concerns about flitting between our secondary websites where the Oz images are actually stored and our main Charley Noble website. Try this direct link:Oz Foray Images

And then please post here if you manage to get access! We're really not trying to make this virtual trip more difficult than the original.

What happens if you go directly to this page:
http://mysite.verizon.net/ipbar/photos_end.htm

There are only two little photos on that page, so it should load faster, in case that's the problem.

Do you get:
"The page cannot be found"?
Something like "HTTP 404" and a bunch of strange info?
A page with nothing on it?
A page with a headline and two boxes with captions but no pictures?
Something else all together?

Are you using Internet Explorer or Netscape or some other browser?
PC or Mac?
Any idea what version of the browser?

The more info you can provide, the more chance I have of figuring what's going on here - I know it works for some people and not for others, and I have no idea what the difference is.

Usually most things that work correctly on both my fast PC with Internet Explorer at work and Charlie's dial-up Mac with Netscape at home will work anywhere - but clearly that's not the case this time.

Two other links to try, if you've got a couple of minutes to help with debugging:

This one uses the "hidden" name behind the warm-and-fuzzy ipbar:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7va5p/photos_end.htm

And this one goes to the highly boring main page of my site - and might work when the other pages don't because the page name is less than 8 characters - most computers these days don't care how many characters there are in the title of a document, but some older ones might:
http://mysite.verizon.net/ipbar/index.htm

Oh - and this one has 8 characters and the underlying page name:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7va5p/index.htm

If the 8-character thing is the problem, you won't be able to see the rest of the site - just the index - but that will tell me what to fix when I get home.

Thanks for your help!

Hey! Who was that masked woman? Was that the mysterious Landlady's Daughter?

Maybe I can get it because my computers are antiquated and imperfect.

Landlady's Daughter is sort of a generic we use for housing songs (how could someone named Charley Noble be an expert on downtrodden landlords?) - and, in fact, I think Charlie's used it a lot more than I have. I rarely feel a need to do more than lurk and read about places where it's always rainy (it may have only been 50 degrees (F) here today - but it was sunny!) - but when I do chime in, it's usually as the one and only JudyB (well, the only one I know).

My office computer is new and running Windows XP (which we agree stands for eXtra Pain) - so having an ancient computer isn't a requirement for seeing the site. But I think I will change the page names to 8.3 style and see if that helps - though I won't be home for another hour or two.

We'll be happy to send you some snow....

I'm curious - if anyone in Australia can actually open the web site and view at least one of the images, please let me know. Maybe I should have put them in meters or centigrade or liters or something.... I know there's probably some simple thing that's causing the problems, but I can't for the life of me think what it might be. Brett can see them in Guam, I can see them on every computer I've got my hands on (including this one, which has home firewall features, and my computer at work, which has industrial-strength barriers, and Charlie's computer, which has somewhat older software and a slower connection), a friend in New Hampshire can see them - and Charlie's web site (which I also designed using the same tools) works fine (though it doesn't have enough room to just move the photos there, unless I do 5 a day and rotate them or something).

Suggestions?

I have been thinking of carrying a baggy of water around and telling people it was a snowball some friends sent me. Go ahead and send me a jar of snow. It would be a hoot to open it at the office.

I've been wondering. Were any of the underwater pictures taken with Charley's new camera? Or were they all taken by the professional level photographer in the family?

Huh, it's raining again. Yesterday I was driving around under a blue sky with some big clouds floating in it. Suddenly it started to pour rain on me and I couldn't see any cloud big enough to cause that kind of down pour. Mostly I saw blue sky. Curiouser and curiouser...

I get "This page cannot be displayed" oin all of them - although, oddly enough, I went as far as Charley's web site earlier and clicked on the link in the website before getting the "This page ..." message.

Now, why is Brett special? Or has he not really seen the pictures and he's having a lend of you?

hi Charlie and Judy

many folkies in sydney have gone to either the Woodford folk festival of the gulgong ones, and will be there right now. I've been distracted by the need for peace and quiet. so you might get a few more responses in another few days when Bob,JennyO and others return.

Judy & Charley - in answer to your email & the threads above - nuffin'

I use Netscape 4.7 & even tho I have "Charley Noble" in my bookmarks every attempt last night & tonight was with the links on your emails & on this thread.

Some responses -

And Judy's last thought is that maybe the "alias" we use for the website that the Oz images are stored on is screwing things up
for some users. Try this link:Direct Link to Downunder

MESSAGE RECEIVED -
Gateway Timeout

The following error occurred:

Server unreachable


Please contact the administrator.
..........................

using link on thread of 29/12 4.33

What happens if you go directly to this page:
http://mysite.verizon.net/ipbar/photos_end.htm

MESSAGE -
Gateway Timeout

The following error occurred:

[code=GATEWAY_TIMEOUT] A gateway timeout occurred. The server is unreachable. Retry the request.


Please contact the administrator.
....................................

Next I went to Netscape Search & I put the following into Google http://mysite.verizon.net/ipbar/photos_end.htm
& got 4 rubbishy links telling me that verizon costs a few dollar a month & that is a phone service, too!!

I got the same 4 messages when I put in www.mysite.verizon.net/ipbar/photos

.................

I give up!

Maybe you can email a pic or 2 so I can see what they look like.

I'll be back at work Friday so I'll send the various inks to work & see what happens.

OK - I've now moved the whole "photos of Oz" web site from my ISP's server to Charley's ISP's server (thank goodness I have DSL at last). Seems odd that my ISP would be blocking folks from Australia, but I can't figure why else all the pages are coming up "can't be displayed" when I used the same general format with no problems for the China Seas photos on Charley's site. Please let us know if those of you who could not see the photos before can open the pages now. (Thanks for the additional confirmation of the problem, Hrothgar!)

I have posted a very basic page on my web site at http://mysite.verizon.net/ipbar/webtest.htm and will see if anyone's available to help me figure out what's going on once folks get back from the festivals.

Thanks for your patience, and here's hoping....

And, Brett, the boat was with Charley's camera, the next two are with my disposable and most of the pieces in the collage are mine, and the rest of the fish are Charley's pictures (I think). The big picture of the James Craig is also Charlie's, though the people singing and the Craig at night are mine.

Oops - forgot to insert a clicky to the new location - I'm really not a morning person, and it's still quite early here....

Australia photos on Charley Noble's site

Maybe Verizon only lets you look if they think they can sell you phone service - who knows. Time for coffee!

And please let me know if this works.

Thanks,
JudyB
