Though obviously Jacqui has a good home for the book, any chance somebody could list the titles of the songs on Mudcat? I'd be interested in the names--and I bet I'm not the only one.

I would, but for one thing, a friend of mine runs the local village post office, as soon as I got the address I packed it & took it round to him along with my ebay items outbound for Monday morn. so it's already gone.
Regards Skipy

No problem. We'll just ask Jacqui when she gets the book. Thanks, anyway.

I won't get the book for a few weeks, until my daughter comes to stay in July and brings that and anything else I need with her.

I will put the titles up when it gets here.

Sorry Rhiannon, I just happened to be in the right place, right time and I know that SINSULL will love this one.

Thank, Jacqui and Skipy. This a treasure.

'Scuse me, is this where the free books are given out? What d'you mean, it's gone? It? Only one? Gone already? Shit an'dammit, ain't that just my soddin' luck? Never got a Coronation Mug, neither, 'cause the teacher broke one openin' the box. Mine, o'course. Couldn't win a bluddy raffle if I bought all the tickets, could I? Oh, well, hope it goes to a good home. Lucky bugger!

Damn. I am a most deserving user of folk songbooks, but I always seem to get to the table last....

Sorry, Joe...but I think I sent you all my Scout songbooks? ;)

I don't claim to deserve the book more than anybody else--just interested in the titles of the songs----gives you a window into that time. Most of the songs, I would guess, are familiar to Mudcatters. It might be an interesting exercise for those of us who haven't seen the book to try to guess what might be in it. Obviously "Tipperary" "There's A Long Long Trail A-Winding", "Keep the Home Fires Burning" (I think), but also "Just A Song At Twilight". And what else? Hymns? Drinking songs? Patriotic songs? Which ones?

My song book arrived this morning. thank you, skipy. It is a treasure. All the words to songs I have only known as choruses. Maybe a Getaway workshop in this.
Many thanks,
Mary

I think I may have a copy of the same book.

No, it isn't going spare... but I may be persuaded to part with scanned copies if people PM me with an Email and can take Adobe Reader PDFs.

That is of course, if I can find it....

Doug - read the thread through - this was a thread about giving away a song book. It probably could have gone above the line but just as easily below it.
