Silent --   like a fart eh? Appears from nowhere, creates a nasty smell, then disappears without doing any real damage.
Yeah, sounds about right.

So you think I'm silent......Silent but Deadly (or is that just after 10 pints of stout) It's the quiet ones you should fear Kamper for they might just nick your hubcaps and covet whatever you have worth coveting if coveting all right for you.

oh insult me all you like. It just bounces off my ring of self confidence.
R&WR knows a good man when she sees one. Well she's seen enough of McFat to know what she doesn't want.
And as for you - hanging on to his banjo strings - well you should find yourself a real gentleman to squire for; not that no good refugee from north of the border.

Don't allow yourself to be used. You can rejoin the human race. Just cut yourself loose from that apology for.... whatever he thinks he is.

And I notice that he's not backing you up in this thread. Where is he eh? Skulking I shouldn't wonder. Letting you take the knocks that should be his.

Come on down big Jim.

Am I too late for extra verses?
If not... (recalling Jim's performances of (high?) numbers from the pen of Pete Townsend..):-

He came to the concert, with music in mind.
He thought they'd be happy. He thought they'd be kind.
Or maybe he thought they'd be deaf, dumb and blind.
For MacDonald was playing a banjo.

Quack!

I love the way you crawl its so nice to know that I am loved for my talents Kampervan!

I can sew, garden, do massage and only ever speak when I am spoken to:) I can also attend to a man's needs - you know cleaning the bath out, hoovering, providing hot cups of tea, handcuffs, fetching ale like any good wench should

By the way would that mean we will be Mr and Mrs Kampervan ( I got a Romahome before Xmas!!) How's that future step daughter of mine?

Red & White Rabbit, what can I say. I am just overwhelmed by this tour de force bravura composition.
Now the whole world can see why you're every drinking man's crumpet.

Who would not want to be third husband-to-be of the intellect that created the finest traditional song to be written since .... since.... well since anyone first wrote a traditional song, ,,,,, in olden times.

You're just fantastic, and you cook a mena sausage if I remember rightly.

MCFAT asked me to play around - no comments - with the lyrics you had posted so this is a version of the

Rape of Milnsbridge
MCfat/ Geoff The Duck/R&W Rabbit

Oh cruel is the thread that prounounced me dead
and made me to play the banjo.......
and cruel was the player that caused me to sway oh
and made me to play on the banjo..

To keep lifeboats afloat they came far inland,
To raise money this was what Raggy had planned
He wined them and dined them then McDonald did stand
And started to play on the Banjo

Large was the crowd as he played it out loud.
He played it as fast as he could go!
Five were the strings, and now he has wings.
Because they strung him up with the banjo

He arrived at the session with soup in a tin
"The Campbell's is coming" he said with a grin
Then somebody threw a tomato at him....
But that was the fate of MacDonald!

He went to the pub, and found the Socialist Club,
He fished out his very large banjo.
The audience, mate, didn't appreciate -
attacked him with a very large mango

He went to the session with banjo in hand.
He played it all night, and he thought it was grand.
But the night didn't turn out the way he had planned,
'Twas the night that they murdered MacDonald!

He knew he'd been cursed
Thought it couldn't get worse
When they caught him playing on the banjo
But he got it all wrong
For in the very next song
They made him to play on the bodhran

Some died in their beds at the hand of this foe
Some fled in the night and were lost in the snow
Some lived to accuse him who struck the first blow
Yes the Bodhran's now played by MacDonald

Oh cruel is the thread that prounounced me dead
and made me to play the banjo.......
and cruel was the player that caused me to sway oh
and made me to play on the banjo

Hi Kampervan - cant remember the tune to Glencoe at this time in the morning so a song escapes me but its nice to see my soon to be husband is getting ready for his duel in Beverley by winding up husband number 3 in such a manner

Subject: RE: BS: MCFAT comes out

Date: 17 Mar 04 - 04:44 PM

And anyway, surely this whole event is sufficiently tragic to be the source of a ballad.

We've got:-

McDonald
Coming out
The appearance of a BANJO
The Death of an Icon (well he can't be an icon with a banjo)

So howse about lets compose an online, up-to-the-minute traditional ballade.

Maybe to the tune of 'Glencoe' in honour of the only(?) other time that the McDonalds screwed up?

When that guitar case slides itself around the outside of the instrument that jim seems to spend half his life torturing then it truly does become a work of art. And it looks nice too!

Wonder if we could find a person case to slide himself into ?????????

What makes you think that Jim needs a kazoo (or any other artificial aid) to REALLY annoy people.
He is, therefor he annoys.

But that's why we all love him. Especially when he gets to the end of a song and picks up that lovely guitar case.

If McFat just likes the playing aspect of the banjo rather than the hideous sound, perhaps he ought to think about trying a Banjola like the one that Leadfingers was playing at the Dog-Day afternoon last Sunday. It's got a 5-string banjo neck grafted onto a mandola body. It provide a solution for people who get addicted to the banjo in the same sort of way that the patch does for smokers, and virtually eliminates all harmful banjo emissions.
