Thanks for blowing my trumpet (as it were Missus)!! Am still offline at home & getting major withdrawal symptoms from the Cat....

Hope to see & hear lots of old friends on Sunday back on home turf. I'll be dashing back from a Festival near Fareham on Sunday afternoon so I'll arrive out of breath but should be back to normal after a pint or two!

Am putting together a set of wonderful songs themed on 'Weaving Water & Whales', and I'm sure you'll be able to guess at some of my favourites. I know there'll be some very classy floorpots too, really looking forward to it. Hope anyone near St Albans can come & join us on Sunday.

The water is wide, or Gaoler bring me h2o

We'll keep a welcome in the Hillside, or Baby Baluga

Nil Points Breezy - I think you have scored this before!

How about these?:-

The Weavers four daughters, Jenny Greenteeth, The last of the Great whales (I think this is the title)

Looking forward to Sunday - and thanks for your kind words (by text last Sunday), Guru.

Im sure it will be a great night, Hilary has a fantastic voice, if you are in the area, go have a listen, I know you won't be disappointed.
Cheers, Lucy

PS Moses, Jenny Greenteeth? There was a little place where we used to go to play the tree there was covered in moss and overhung a pond we called the place Jenny Greenteeth, Never heard of this song! I wonder if there is a connection....

Hawker,

'Jenny Greenteeth' is one of Nichole Murray's (of 'Cloudstreet').

Written, I believe, in Oz at a songwriting workshop - about a river sprite (not sure if that is the right word as "sprite" conveys a benign spirit, and Jenny is most definitely not that).

Great song and Guru more than does it justice.

Quite correct Moses - Nil points for Breezy!!! (And you could have 3 points so far...)

Wasn't thinking of Thaney or Rain, but will have another look - wouldn't want everyone to get bored listening to all my dreary ballads!!!

Thanks for all kind words gratefully received {{Lucy, Moses, Rhiannon}}

May be off-line now till after the spotlight (PC not fixed), so you can all talk about the song-quiz behind my back (good luck)!!! See you all on Sunday,

Little Kisses,
Hil
