Thanks Murray,
   I just played Peter Paul and Mary's version of "The Times Are A Changing." A perfect song for a protest weekend.

Thanks again,

Hi beer...They're celebrating an ancient tradition called hunting the wren who origins are lost in antiquity.

the tradition is referred to often in folk song, both in Ireland and England

Ditchfield in 'Old English Customs', p. 32, informs us that a wren-box was sold at Christies a few years ago which used to be carried in procession in some parts of Wales on St. Stephen's Day. It is about seven inches square, and has a glass window at one end. Into this box a wren was placed, and it was hoisted on two long poles and carried round the town by four strong men, who affected to find the burden heavy. Stopping at intervals they sang [The Cutty Wren]. And so on for eight more verses, taking the form of question and answer, as in the ballad of "Cock Robin", and describing the method of shooting the wren, cutting it up, and finally boiling it. (W.S. Walsh, Curiosities of Popular Customs)

See also The Wren (The King); Wren Song

[1962:] Some of the most ancient, most enduring and at the same time most mysterious English folk songs are those concerned with the attributes and sacrifice of monstrous animals. At the end of the 14th century, when peasant rebellion was in the air, the old magical song of the gigantically powerful bird (presented by a kind of folklore irony as a tiny wren) took on a tinge of new meaning. For here was the story of a great fowl so hard to seize, so difficult to dismember but so apt for sharing among the poor; and what did that suggest but a symbol of seignorial property?
(A. L. Lloyd, notes Ian Campbell Folk Group, 'Songs of Protest')

The 3 or 4 David Francey videos that were on youtube seem to have been removed, incuding 'Torn Screen Door' included under 'English' above. Incidentally, it seemed somewhat inappropriate to have included the composition of a Canadian singer/songwriter, albeit an acapella rendition, under the category of traditional English.

John, the original purpose in my setting up this Permathread was to establish an archive of outstanding performances in the folk/blues field.

That was back in October 2006.

Since that date , this thread has been inundated with links to videos from every wannabe in the business, and I do not intend to put up links to every suggestion that wafts through the ether onto this thread.

The "original post" will be edited accordingly.

Murray, as I understood it you wanted folks to post not only the link but also a brief description of the content and some suggestions as to appropriate classifications. I noted that many posts were simply links, with no background information to help. I suspected that this was causing you more work. I also noticed that there was a lot of discussion of the links, which I initially thought was not what you wanted to see here in this thread. I now note that since you are involved in some of those discussions I probably misunderstood.

In summary I thought folks might be creating more work for you by ont following the guidelines that you appeared to lay out clearly in your initial post.

That is all.

Once again I find myself astounded at a reaction to a simple post here on mudcat. Having come across this kind of reaction before I had cut back on posting here and stopped using a permathread I had been given for "promotional purposes". I was uncertain about returning here to post anything linked to my business activities. It looks like my reservations were based on firm foundations and that I clearly made an error coming back here. I will make it clear right here and now that I will never make this mistake again.

Please feel free to delete my post.

I have decided that there should be three more categories in this thread.

I was quite entranced by Guest Rev's 1950's ad for Brewer's Gold Ale, and it undoubtedly has some historical significance, but could hardly be classed as an outstanding performance, so I am creating a " Quirky Unclassifiable " category for gems such as these.

Also, it is obvious that come what may , people will continue to put up links to their own, or their friends' performances, irrespective of the artistic merit of the performance, so there will be another category headed "Self- Publicising" into which these videos will go.

Finally, there should definitely be a category for Mudcatters' own videos. Watch this space ...

It's not losing its way as far as I am concerned,I know exactly where it's heading.

It's not heading in the direction of being a vehicle for every wannabe seeking a bit of free publicity, if that is your gripe .

It will become, and remain, what it was in my original concept, an archive of outstanding performances in the folk/blues idiom.

Murry I put the link there because it was the fastest up-loading video of 'The Homes Of Donegal' there is another one there of Paul Brady but it's too slow up-loading , head wrecking for dial up connections, still it gives an idea of how the song could be played even in waltz time like Diedre's version.
Yes, it's a more country music version and maybe doesn't belong here.
I will endeavor to try harder in future [smile]

Shaneo, I am not denying Diedre's ability as a singer, but do you think her rendition of this song belongs in this symposium ?

I would say she belongs to the Daniel O'Donnell, Foster and Allen, and Dana school of Irish singing, "good" singers all of them , but imo they don't belong in here alongside Paul Brady and Andy Irvine.

Here's one that shouldn't be affected by that kind of thing.

Emile Benoit was a Newfoundland fiddler and singer, and here he is singing an 18th Century French song, Vive la Rose. He died a few days after the record containing this came out in 1992. Here is more about Emile Benoit, and here are the words of the song, also know as "Mon ami me délaisse" (slightly different from the version Emile sings.)   I know that extra stuff won't get archived, but it's good having the context in the meantime.

So herer is Emile singing Vive la Rose - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4uLc2PmB0o - the song is used here as background to some rather charming family photos of a visit to Newfoundland and a family reunion.

It's a shame the David Bromberg videos don't convey anything like the full force of what Bromberg delivers in a live performance. I have been hoping for months that somebody would upload something really spectacular, maybe of the Bromberg Band circa 1975, or even from the Performance Channel special he did with John Sebastian, there was some really great stuff on that. Still, better to have something than nothing.
