Perhaps you could tell us all a bit about yourself and garner more responses. In any case, welcome to the Café. Anyone who mumbles at all should fit right in.

as a born and bred New Englander of the Old School I must admit I find all this greeting, etc to be most brash and forward. In our area one doesn't rush these things.

It is possible that in three or four generations one might nod slightly at the newcomer. anything more would be intrusive.

Round here, after three days with the one and ONLY post at the Café from mumblin len being the one at the beginning of this thread, we might also say, "Bite my ass."

However, perhaps some problem has befallen poor len. Maybe the lad (laddette?) is just shy and needs some comforting assurance about what a nice bunch of friendly folks frequent this forum. Sooo...

Hey Mumbles!!! Speak up. We can't hear you.

We are looking for simple songs that can be performed loudly ( I have a 120 watt voice)

In California someone might join their palms together in a namaste blessing they learned in yoga class, grasp your hand in both of theirs and look into your eyes to make sure you fully connect in a meaningful manner, or else say "yo, dude" and give you a high five, and then five minutes later flip the bird at you as they cut you off on the freeway in their SUV, doing 90 MPH with a cell phone in one hand and a latte between their knees. It's way cool.

mumblin - what sort of banjoes - 5-string or tenor?
It makes a difference on what sort of LOUD and what sort of SIMPLE we might suggest...

I can only get into this machine about once a week,so apologies if I have confusedd you. Geoff the duck; we are talking six string guitar banjoes and banjo - ukes. we have a new song about a wild rabbit - anyone know what noise a rabbit makes? (apart from scrunch as they're run over by a 4x4). also, does anyone have the chord tab for 'London River' by Rod Shearman? I can't seem to find it on the net. also looking for words and chords for 'REAL wild CHILD' - can't remember who it was by.
   In reply to CarolC - yes, we have no accordions - we have no accordions today!

When there was a live jam session in a favorite cafe in downtown Austin, Texas(back in the 1980s), we sometimes did a group of songs we called "the Death Spiral". They were songs from various traditions about death, dying, loss, etc. One of our faves, which we always ended with--LOUD--was one we'd heard on a Clancy Bros/Tommy Makem record. First verse:

Look at the coffin
Bloody brass handles
Isn't it grand, boys,
To be bloody-well DEAD?
(Cho.)Let's not have a sniffle--
      Let's have a bloody good cry--
      And always remember: the longer yuh live,
      The sooner yuh'll bloody well die.

I think it's called "Isn't It Grand, Boys". Other verses were about the widow, preacher, flowers, candles. You should be able to find it somewhere. It was the recovery-from-depression-because-of-the-sad-nature-of-some-of-the-previous-songs song, and always got everyone really belting it out. Have a good day.         Tw

Bodhran? That's that thing you hit just out of time with everyone else, isn't it? Quite useful as a tray for carrying beer, but not so good as a frisbee...

I can tell you about the sound a rabbit makes as it's being eaten by a cat or strangled by a ratsnake.

It goes sorta like


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!


only redder and of a much longer duration.

In these parts, people have taken to singing - very loudly -

BARMY ARMY

Easy lyrics to learn, just 2 words, and repeated for anything over 30 minutes.

If not holding beer, one may also engage in any sort of arm waving or pointing.

Dress optional - although lots of chaps with beards do dress in drag while singing it.

Just another mystery of the folk tradition, I reckon.

Or secret sign of the Transvestites Society?
