06 Jun 20 - 08:38 PM (#4057778) Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround From: Joe Offer Okey-dokey. I think we have a minyan. Well, it's supposed to be 10 adult, circumcised males, but we'll make do with what we've got. Monday at 8 PM London time. That's Noon here in California, 3 PM at Mudcat Central in Pennsylvania, and 5 AM in Sydney.I'll host. I'll post the link to the Zoom session here in this thread just one hour before we begin, and I'll open hp half an hour early at 8:30 PM for cocktails and conversation. There will be a waiting room, and I reserve the right to reject people I don't recognize - so please use your Mudcat names. Sorry. This should be fun! -Joe- |

07 Jun 20 - 06:22 AM (#4057848) Subject: RE: Mudcat online singaround Monday 9 PM London time From: Joe Offer When you enter Zoom, you will usually be give the opportunity to give the name you want to be known by for the session. If you have not used Zoom since June 1, you may be asked to update to the new, encrypted Version 5 of Zoom. It seems to be quite stable, so just OK the download and there you go - good reason to show up early, though. I'm looking forward to this. -Joe- |

10 Jun 20 - 12:35 AM (#4058504) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Joe Offer I will post the link in this thread Monday, an hour before the gathering. I will also send links by personal message Sunday, to members who post in this thread. If you've pasted anything above, you'll get a pm from me Sunday. Sorry, I can't send personal messages to Guests, so you'll have to look here Monday for the link. I will change the meeting ID every week for security purposes. I can't handle anything that comes in Monday, because I'm teaching a Class Mondays and have just half an hour free after the class. Looking forward to seeing you Monday. Joe |

21 Jun 20 - 02:45 PM (#4060607) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Noreen Yes that’s right Amergin, for security reasons the new link is only put up about an hour before the start each week, so less likely to attract gatecrashers. I think it’s even better than the old HearMe (which I remember very fondly) because we can see each other too! Joe Offer has of course gone another step further and often searches for and adds info and words for the song being sung, in the chat box in real time... which sets this Mudcat Singaround apart from all others I’ve been involved with. Mudcat is once again in the vanguard of new ideas! (I wonder whether the wonderful Max might join us one week?!) |

22 Jun 20 - 11:45 AM (#4060772) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays 8 PM London From: Stilly River Sage The link people have posted here gives the first-time user the opportunity to download the software even if they load it before or during the event. |

13 Jul 20 - 03:19 AM (#4063966) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround Mondays on Zoom From: Joe Offer This thread is getting pretty long, but I think I'd like to preserve it as the go-to place for the singaround. Feel free to post whatever you like here (especially lyrics to songs you have sung or will sing), but I'll probably move most messages over two weeks old to our overflow thread (click). I'm having the best time at this Monday singaround. My big black dog Madeleine loves it, too, and she often comes into my office to listen while we're singing. -Joe- |

21 Jul 20 - 05:18 AM (#4065226) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: SPB-Cooperator Is Lawson alluding to Adam Lindsay Gordon's romance with Jane Bridges throughout the poem? |
|
21 Jul 20 - 05:31 AM (#4065230) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: GUEST,Gerry SPB, the reference to Gordon in the 4th stanza is, indeed, to the poet Adam Lindsay Gordon, but the interpretation I've heard is that the poem has more to do with Lawson's relationship with Hannah Thorburn. She died just six weeks before Lawson & his wife, Bertha, arrived back in Australia from two years in England. |

21 Jul 20 - 07:49 AM (#4065249) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: Stilly River Sage Gerry and all who are just discovering Mudcat: You need to join (write to Joe@Mudcat.org). Guests are welcome to search and use the site, but membership does offer a few extra perks. And by all means, poke around and find the lyrics we already have here. It'll save you a little time reposting them. For example, Gerry, Lawson's poem Do You Think I Do Not Know is an example already in the DT. You are liable to find lyrics there you want to start using! Good to see all of the new names and faces yesterday. |

21 Jul 20 - 07:59 AM (#4065251) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: Stilly River Sage Gerry, I also found the thread discussing Tumba-bloody-rumba and posted a link back to your post here, but putting the lyrics there would be helpful. For newcomers to Mudcat, we have the "Lyrics & Knowledge Search" for keywords and song titles. Use as few words as you think will bring up results and if it doesn't work the first time Max added a supersearch that hoovers up stuff all over Mudcat and the Internet. |

21 Jul 20 - 01:45 PM (#4065297) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Monday!!! From: Joe Offer If there are songs posted here, they will eventually be moved to a thread for that particular song. So, free to post lyrics here, and I'll move them in good time. We don't currently have a way of correcting the Digital Tradition Folk Song Database (DT), and maybe it's a good idea to leave it as Dick Greenhaus left it when he died. I am gradually trying to ensure that there is a thread to cover every song or family of songs in the DT. The best place to look for correct lyrics is in the threads, not in the DT. If the lyrics in a thread have proper title, songwriter, and source information, you can be reasonably sure they're correct. If the title is allcaps and bold and large, that means it has been reviewed for correctness. -Joe- I will use this thread as the permanent notification thread for the singaround. As messages get out of date, I'll move them to the overflow thread or to song threads. |

28 Jul 20 - 05:45 AM (#4066247) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Noreen Some feedback from the most recent sing on Monday 27th July. I made a note of 55 names who joined in, not all singing/performing as audience are welcome too. People started arriving at 7.30pm UK time for a chat and sound checks as necessary. Singing started at 8pm (or so) and carried on until well after midnight when I had to go get some sleep. People are numbered on arrival and get an opportunity to sing in order, though we can be flexible for those who have to leave early etc. Joe tries to allow everyone to have two songs throughout the night, and latecomers will always have a chance to sing at least once. It is amazing to see so many Mudcatters from around the world in all their different time zones, weather conditions and surroundings. I'm loving it! It's never going to be ideal timing for everyone worldwide. The sing does however continue for over 4 hours- 8pm to well after midnight UK time- so there is a chance for those from many time zones to take part. We have had regular participants from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, UK and USA which is quite an achievement! And a Pole in Scotland :) (OK, who have I forgotten this time?!) So, feel free to pop in next Monday (or Tuesday morning in the antipodes), you will be very welcome! |

04 Aug 20 - 03:51 AM (#4067226) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Gerry Joe, the lyrics you posted in chat for The Swaggies Have All Waltzed Matilda Away are fine, with just two corrections. In the last verse, "Coolies" should be "Koori". Koori is the name the Aboriginal people of New South Wales use to describe themselves. And the fellow who wrote the song was Alistair Hulett, with a double t at the end. Thanks again for putting the show on. |

23 Aug 20 - 01:50 PM (#4069341) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Singaround emails have been sent out. I post the URL for the Singaround here about 2 hours before we start, but don't want to post it publicly earlier. If I forget, maybe Noreen will remember and post it here. If you'd like to be on the email list, email me at joe@mudcat.org Hope to sing with you tomorrow! -Joe- |

23 Aug 20 - 05:20 PM (#4069376) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: An Pluiméir Ceolmhar Just dropped in on a whim, after spending a fair amount of time on Chiff and Fipple and latterly wasting vast amounts of time on Twitter over the last few years. Delighted to see there are some familiar names still showing up, and totally unsurprised to see Joe still doing that public-service thing. And almost nostalgic to see that my old work email address popped up when I logged in again, given that I retired in 2011. I originally ventured into the Café on a work-related mission, believe it or not: a senior official in my workplace wanted to quote some verses of "The maid of Aughrim" in a speech, and I was blown away by how, within 24 hours, Catters in different parts of the world came up with more information than I could possibly use. So a worldwide singaround sounds particularly appropriate. I drifted away from the Mudcat for a variety of reasons, one of which I won't go into, but also because, as a non-singer, I always felt like a bit of a chancer with little to contribute, and C&F became a better fit. I might listen in to one of the next Zoomarounds. BTW, does a surgical circumcision count, Joe? ;-) |

25 Aug 20 - 04:04 AM (#4069535) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Noreen This regular sing is encouraging me to refresh songs from way back, sometimes because of mentions here on Mudcat, sometimes after my memory has been jogged by other songs sung or discussions between songs. As leeneia says above, it is a safe place to perform with a VERY interested and supportive audience, all in our own rooms around the world. I still find it amazing that I take part in an event with other performers from so many other countries in so many time zones. (I’ll post a list of all the countries I am aware of, when I’ve checked to make sure I’ve left no country out!) So if you’re thinking of joining us, please do! Just come and listen if you like, or take part :) |

25 Aug 20 - 05:17 AM (#4069542) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Richard Mellish In the chat before yesterday's session, Paul Clarke posted this: " I'm planting this little 'bomb' to see if it creates any buzz among you: Mudcat Zoom session, with a theme of songs/tunes within songs. Songs that reference other music would be sung, and broken off at the appropriate point for [I'd moot] another performer to render the mentioned tune, or in the case of a song, to segue one after the other. I think I've listed, or been triggered to note but forgotten to[!], about 15 of these, but with all the Cat brains jointly at work on the idea, I'm sure many more would crop up. Perhaps needs a couple of weeks' notice, esp. to tout for the musical partner, but worth considering? When I get back, I may ask the question again, with some examples. Meantime, what does Joe O and others think of it." That could indeed be fun, but it will certainly need considerable advance planning to identify the relevant songs and tunes and the personnel to perform them. Paul, if you see this, please post your list to save us racking our brains for examples that you've already thought of. The only one that I can think of immediately is Byker Hill and Walker Shore referring to "the tune of Elsie Marley". |

25 Aug 20 - 06:30 AM (#4069551) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Mysha Are we supposed to remember all the tunes in The Devil went down to Georgia, or The Galway shawl, or the Monkeys wedding? Mysha |
|
25 Aug 20 - 06:37 AM (#4069554) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Mysha Monique, maybe you can do something less loudly? Recite a poem, tell a story if the host allows. You're not limited to the chat like I am, so there must be ways to perform even if you're not supposed to make noise. (Well, listening to others would obviously fall in the no-=noise category as well.) Bye Mysha |

25 Aug 20 - 06:43 AM (#4069555) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: rosma Richard, Galway Shawl ('I played "The Blackbird" and "The Stack of Barley", "Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew"') gives some serious scope. |
|
25 Aug 20 - 07:15 AM (#4069557) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Mysha I guess this is more something for a Songs in Song thread. Is there such a thing? 'The band played "Waltzing Matilda"' would also fall in that category. Bye Mysha |
|
25 Aug 20 - 07:29 AM (#4069559) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: MoorleyMan It's a fun idea, Paul, and might yield some interesting examples, but I agree with Mysha, more suitable for a discussion thread than an actual performance, which would be unwieldy to say the least, even if the sequential and overlap issues of zoom could be overcome. It's indicative tho', that almost all of the examples that spring readily to mind involve traditional tunes - and several of them are already done as "song-tune combis" in performance. Midnight on the Water, steady and slow... With "songs within songs" tho', a full combi rendition would be less satisfying simply because of the desired effect of the placing within the original creation, IMHO. Take the above-mentioned Waltzing Matilda, which has its own designated placing and Purpose. |
|
25 Aug 20 - 05:38 PM (#4069627) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe_F I think I started a songs-mentioning-songs thread a while ago, but I can't find it. One had better be careful to exclude songs (such as "Turkey in the Straw") that mention themselves, which could lead to an infinity of self-interruptions. Anyway: The Whiffenpoof Song mentions "Shall I Wasting" and "Mavourneen" and the rest. |
|
25 Aug 20 - 05:53 PM (#4069631) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: An Pluiméir Ceolmhar Thank you, Joe and Noreen. I'll listen in one of these Mondays coming up. |

26 Aug 20 - 07:15 AM (#4069695) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler There is "The broadside man" as another example of songs named (or at least described) within a song. I always thought that it could be expanded as an album. On the same theme, I have my "Harbour Wall" song on YouTube now with some of my fathers photos. I did think that because each verse covers a different aspect and time in the history of the harbour, it would be an idea to use each verse as an intro to other songs covering the same idea. Robin |

31 Aug 20 - 10:55 PM (#4070279) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: pattyClink Thanks for the very kind welcome and encouragement on my first zoom try at the singaround today. Sorry I am dim about seeing chat messages but my machine shows the text at about 1-point size, and if I boost it to 2-point by going full screen I can hear my hard drive overheating. Anyway, there was an old thread about the Willow Tree song, so I posted lyrics with chords over on that in case anybody wants to have a go at it. |

01 Sep 20 - 01:34 PM (#4070366) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: pattyClink Thanks, leeneia! I did squint in and see some kind remarks, and tried to send a few remarks of my own. But, I did not realize when I was being 'paged' by Joe and could not 'keep an eye' on the text feed. I will have to study up and see what I can adjust. I was blown away by all the wonderful songs and singers I heard. Including your 'Dog Days', I hope you have posted it on the 'cat or will soon! I had hoped to go to several festivals and run some song sessions this year, and those plans got blown to bits. So this is such a wonderful thing to see and hear. |
|
08 Sep 20 - 10:29 AM (#4071188) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Richard Mellish Some Zoom sessions are recorded and made available subsequently through YouTube or otherwise. Is this a possibility for the Mudcat Singaround? A few singers might want the recording paused for their bits, but I think most of us would be OK about being recorded, and it would give everyone the chance to catch up on whatever we've missed -- if we can find the time, of course. |
|
09 Sep 20 - 12:59 PM (#4071333) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Felipa I had already thought about how some Zoom events are also on youtube, and I concluded that it was a good thing that the Mudcat singaround isn't ... the quality - or should I say expertise - is very variable, which doesn't matter when we are a circle of friends but could be uncomfortable if we are exposed to anybody and everybody on line. Much as it would interest me to hear myself later, on the whole I prefer the privacy of an ephemeral session. What I would like to have is a Mudcat thread run by the moderators, which would give a list each week of which songs were sung that Monday. |
|
14 Sep 20 - 06:00 AM (#4071804) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: Richard Mellish I agree with Felipa about the variable quality/expertise/whatever you prefer to call it, but the same probably applies to most online singarounds, as indeed it does to in-person sessions when those are possible. If a session is to be recorded, anyone who wishes should be able to have the recording paused, whether because they feel that they're not very good or for any other reason (or no reason at all). That is how it works for Sharp's singarounds; but in practice I think few if any do request a pause. But anyway Joe has sounded out participants for the Mudcat one so I won't pursue it beyond this post. |

14 Sep 20 - 07:10 PM (#4071883) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: leeneia It was another enjoyable session. Thanks to the organizers. I had a doctor's appt beforehand, and while I was waiting, I sang my song to warm up my voice. One might as well make use of the time. By the way, I had to visit the ER mid-week, and while the DH and I waited in our room, we heard people laughing in the hall several times. This is not the view of an ER that we get from the media. (I came out okay.) I have a question: during the Singaround, does the volume I set on the sliding bar of my own computer affect the volume at which my song goes out, or does Zoom make sure my volume is good? |
|
15 Sep 20 - 04:00 AM (#4071915) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!! From: Noreen Your listening volume has no effect on what goes out, leeneia. There are various settings you can adjust to make your sound the best it can be- if you join the session early next time (before we start singing) you can try adjusting settings and get feedback on what works best. Another lovely session last night, thanks all! |
|
15 Sep 20 - 12:22 PM (#4071968) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: leeneia Thank you for the information, Noreen. Apparently my sound settings are acceptable. Zoom seemed a little peculiar on Monday - people's pictures popped up and then disappeared, even though they were not singing at the time, and twice it tried to sign out of the session without my asking it to. But I suppose Zoom's system is under a lot of pressure now. |

20 Sep 20 - 03:14 AM (#4072537) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer I just sent out the emails with this week's link. If you didn't get one and would like to attend, email me, joe@mudcat.org Hope to sing with you soon. -Joe- |

21 Sep 20 - 07:29 AM (#4072650) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer RBG and Scalia were notorious opera fans. Don't know that she spent much time on folk. See the RBG movie. The part on opera was delightful. |

21 Sep 20 - 12:43 PM (#4072671) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: Joe Offer I sang "Miner's Lifeguard" and "Life's Railway to Heaven," which both use the same melody in the US. I understand that "Miner's Lifeguard" is sung to a different melody in Great Britain. I'd sure like to hear that different melody. -Joe- |

22 Sep 20 - 06:30 AM (#4072742) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Noreen Sorry I missed it Joe, I’d be interested in your tune to the miner’s lifeguard. Hope all went well in my absence! |

22 Sep 20 - 12:55 PM (#4072771) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Hi, Noreen - we missed you, but we muddled through. I think we had a total of 44 people yesterday. Here's the seminal US recording of "Miner's Lifeguard," by Pete Seeger and the Almanac Singers: Here's an English recording by Bob Fox and Benny Graham, which uses the same melody: Here's a great choral performance by Brian Connick and Cor Meibion Onllwyn (Onllwyn Male Voice Choir): Maybe I'm mistaken and maybe the US and UK use the same melody for this song. -Joe- |

26 Sep 20 - 07:06 PM (#4073254) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Noreen Re: the Miners' Lifeguard Joe, those three versions (great stuff!) were of the same tune, as is this one sung by the Wilsons.

27 Sep 20 - 10:10 PM (#4073406) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Yeah, Noreen, I thought I heard there was a Welsh melody used for "Miner's Lifeguard," but I can't find it. My memory sometimes gets scrambled. -Joe- |

21 Oct 20 - 06:45 PM (#4076364) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Tattie Bogle The other thing is, that if people are having problems with their broadband connection, it helps to switch off the video and just use the audio, so don't take it personally if people are not all avidly watching: or they might be having their supper and don't want to be seen stuffing their faces...! I might bring my knitting next week, or do my ironing! |

21 Oct 20 - 07:05 PM (#4076367) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer It people are singing and having connection problems, I will sometimes switch off their video so the sound comes through better. This is not meant as an insult (usually ;-) They should feel free to switch their video back on once they're finished singing. -Joe- |

22 Oct 20 - 12:16 PM (#4076456) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: leeneia Thanks, Sarah. I'm glad you liked it. I thought my voice sounded pretty bad, (it being ragweed season) but now I think that since we are right on top of our own voices, so to speak, we hear minor imperfections that listeners do not. I encountered the same thing with a recorder once. I made a tape of myself, and I sounded better than I thought I did. But I wish I had a clear, reliable voice like you, Schlomo and Noreen. ============== As for the other matter, it's hard to believe that 80 or 90% of the group had an errand at the same time. And attention doesn't have to be avid; it's enough if a person moves a little once in a while. But that's over now. People were back for the last session. |

25 Oct 20 - 12:23 AM (#4076730) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Hi, Everyone - I hope you will be able to join us for Monday's Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on 26 Oct It will be at the usual 8 PM London time, but an hour later than usual in the rest of the world (1 PM Los Angeles, 4 PM New York) - due to the vagaries of the change from Daylight Savings Time. We'll be back in sync next week. Could be interesting - Casey and I have been threatened with an electric power blackout, but Noreen and others have volunteered to fill in if we can't make it. See you Monday. I sent out the email just now. If you'd like to be included on the email list, contact me, joe@mudcat.org For security reasons, we change the URL/address of the singaround every week, and post the URL here in this thread for only a short time. -Joe- |

27 Oct 20 - 12:45 AM (#4076977) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer A very spooky day of songs. Lots of good singing, some of it moderately scary. My house generator lasted all day on a 6-gallon tank of gas, and the mains power finally came on as our singaround was ending. One woman from the San Francisco Bay area sang a "Broken Token" song. When she introduced the song, she said it was written by Vikki Appleton Fielden. I started to introduce Vikki to the singer, but Vikki shushed me. So, we all held our tongues while the singer sang Vikki's song - and we all got a good laugh out of it afterwards. The woman sang very well, and Vikki was thrilled to have somebody sing her song. Thank you all for a wonderful gathering. Back to the usual times for next week's gathering. This daylight savings discrepancy lasts only one week, and then the US and UK are back in sync again. -Joe- We missed you, Casey. Hope the electric power is back on at your wilderness home. Thanks to Noreen for doing a great job of hosting, and to Dawn for assisting. |

01 Nov 20 - 08:14 AM (#4077722) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator I've noticed that their are quite a few parodies about trump floating round. I know we don't do themes, but with the looming election and the gloom and doom around the world if anyone has any they can share it might lend itself to some much needed levity... On a selfish note, preferably after I am able to get to the session. |

02 Nov 20 - 11:02 PM (#4077972) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Another delightful singaround. I'm glad Tim/Voyager came and sang the version of 'Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night' that was passed on through his family. I think I'll take up that version myself, but I wanted to hear if from somebody who knew it first. Such wonderful singing and such nice people, every Monday. -Joe- |

We start singing at Noon Los Angeles, 3 PM New York, and 8 PM London time. And some hardy souls from New Zealand and Australia will join us at the crack of dawn Tuesday. Doors open half an hour beforehand for cocktails and conversation. We sing two times around the group, which takes 4 to 5 hours, and then we have a cocktail hour afterwards.

From: GerryM I tried to make a list of all the songs/poems that were performed, in order, at the Singaround on 16/17 November 2020. I came in half an hour into proceedings, so I missed maybe half-a-dozen at the beginning. And there were a few where I didn't get a name, just a topic. Here's what I have: Ranter's Wharf Bring Us Good Ale A Chat with Your Mother Le P'tit Bonheur Frankie and Johnny Rolling and Tumbling Viva La Quince Brigada Shocking Murders in Whitechapel Rupert the Ranger Everybody Knows Me in My Old Brown Hat Jamboree Jones Send Me to Glory in a Glad Bag Congo River I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free The Rains Have Come Again We'll Chant Away Until Dawn And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda Thiepval [Shout Out Shop] Vegematic I Still Miss Someone Le Chinois Mary was an Only Child I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Such a Nice Girl, Too No Sun, No Moon Ballad of Dog Dually Cannily, Cannily Rock Me Baby Whaleroad Light of a Clear Blue Morning Do Me Ama Turn the Lathe Gently King of Rome The Willow Tree Sally Free and Easy Fanny Blair The Barley Mow Lie If I Want To Gray Goose Song for Vic (Borneo) The Half-Hitch Captain Kidd Eensie Weensie Spider More Hills to Climb (Parody of) Galway Bay My Own Dear Galway Bay The Shape of Things Gone Shopping Lincoln Park Pirates Beans Taste Fine [Song about masking] Shift and Spin Appliance Time Again Little Sadie Andy's Gone with Cattle Lady River The Last Adieu Irn Bru Not Spenser [Song based on The Bold/Beaux Gendarmes] To All the Cats I've Loved Before Pirate Jenny Witch Hazel |

19 Nov 20 - 12:28 PM (#4080251) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Noreen That's great Gerry thanks! So many great songs I missed by leaving early. Do you remember who sang Song for Vic? Not heard that for too long. |

19 Nov 20 - 02:08 PM (#4080266) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: MoorleyMan Noreen - I own up! It was myself who sang Song For Vic... And Gerry M - here's what i can tell you about the first few items: Joe Offer started with Right Said Fred then Pelagie read the Les Barker poem My Bag For Life Has Just Died then I sang Frankie's Trade (Kipling-Bellamy) then Anne Gregson sang her own composition I Don't Need You then Monique sang a French ditty which revolved around Ding-dong but i didn't catch the title although I believe Joe had it in the chat log. After that you're on track with Noreen's beautiful rendition of Ranter's Wharf. Hope that helps. Cheers! Monique sang "Les filles des forges" |

20 Nov 20 - 07:42 AM (#4080323) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Bradfordian I’ve not been logging the songs I do on Mudcat Zoom. On 16th I did a poem “November” by Thomas Hood.which is listed as “No Sun, no moon” Nice to see that someone else sang “More hills to climb”, it’s a great song that I have done previously on Mudcat Zoom. On another note, “Andy’s gone with cattle” sounds interesting. If that’s a parody, anyone have the lyrics to share? Brad. |
|
20 Nov 20 - 08:01 AM (#4080328) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator gerry, for your list, the titles of the two songs I did were: Somebody Would Shout Out Shop (Weston & Lee - 1915), and The Gallant Shopping (Lyrics S P Belsey - 1986, Tune Trad) |
|
20 Nov 20 - 05:29 PM (#4080392) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Thanks, SPB. Bradfordian, Andy's Gone with Cattle is not a parody, it's a poem written by the Australian poet Henry Lawson in 1888, set to a tune collected by John Manifold. |
|
20 Nov 20 - 05:34 PM (#4080394) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM The lyrics to Andy's Gone with Cattle are in the Digital Tradition. Maybe /mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=286 will get you there. There are a couple of mondegreens in the DT version. "cheat" should be "cheek", and "tomorrow" should be "torrents". |

He tells me our singaroud on November 30 will be our 25th singaround. I had no idea we had done so many. Every one of them has been delightful - and almost all of them have lasted 5 hours! Here's hoping we will have many more, even after we're able to get together in person to sing. -Joe- |

25 Nov 20 - 09:05 PM (#4080970) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Here's my list of songs that were performed, in order, at the Singaround on 23/24 November 2020. I came in half an hour into proceedings, so I missed maybe half-a-dozen at the beginning. I didn't get a name for the song Jerry O'Neill sang, about singing folk songs to a very noisy, non-folkie audience. Also, Steve Belsey sang a shanty, all I got was the repeated phrase, "a dollar a day". Laura Martin sang two songs in Gaelic, I only got one of the titles, Fear a Bhata. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks all welcome. Here's what I have: Dido, Bendigo The Solo Sock I Haven't Told Her, She Hasn't Told Me When All Men Sing L'alouette et le pinson Lovers Heart A Dollar a Day [?] She's Someone's Grandmother River Driving Sailor's Grave Megan Murphy 254 Shades of Gray Song for Wind and Tree [Jerry O'Neill] The Key of R It Bruised Her Somewhat Thanksgiving Eve The Bergen Now I'm Easy Give Me a Man with a Nose Barbara Allen Zuleika Rose of San Antone The Barring of the Door Logs to Burn The Hawk and the Crow Thanksgiving Prayer Windmills Oor Hamlet Sammy's Bar Revisited Plains of Waterloo The Verdant Braes of Skreen Caledonia Fear a Bhata [and another Scots/Gaelic song] Here's Hoping Country Life Sweet is the Melody Midnight on the Water Gartan Mother's Lullaby For the Beauty of the Earth Ding Dang Dong Go the Wedding Bells Piano Leg [Broken Token-2] Hi Jolly the Camel Driver Uncle Dave's Grace Let's Go Where All the Crowd Goes The Rasta Masta Pretty Boy Floyd Courting in the Kitchen Dark-Eyed Daughter How Can I Keep From Purring Someday Soon (Retired version) Where Have All the Flowers Gone Crazy Amazing Grace (in Gaelic) Lay Down Beside Me Yorkshire Song She Didn't Dance, Dance, Dance Dying at Home Nancy Whiskey Ballad of Charlie David My Lady of Autumn |

26 Nov 20 - 10:40 AM (#4081035) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: pattyClink Well done Gerry. I wonder if singers could make an effort to start off by naming their song. I don't get much out of a long rambling intro if I don't know what song they are talking about. And Gerry's not the only one taking notes, lots of us are collectors wanting to add to our bag . |

27 Nov 20 - 06:01 PM (#4081159) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Thanks, Sandman. At https://afolksongaweek.wordpress.com/2016/09/02/week-261-the-hawk-and-the-crow/ it's called The Hawk and the Crow, but it says "I learned this from one of my absolute favourite singers, Kevin Mitchell, via his 1977 Topic LP Free and Easy. Kevin calls it ‘Two Strings on a Bow’, and he learned it from Anne Brolly of Dungiven, County Derry. The LP notes say American singers call this song The Bird’s Courtship or The Leather Winged Bat." So evidently this is a song of many titles. |

03 Dec 20 - 11:12 PM (#4081847) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Here's my list of songs that were performed, in order, at the Singaround on 30 November / 1 December 2020. I came in a little late, so I missed a few at the beginning. I'm not at all sure I got the right title (is fada liom uaim I) for a song Martin Ryan sang. Ed Silberman sang a short song which I took down as Drink Canada Dry, but I'm not at all sure that's right. David Allan Coe recorded a song by that name, but I think it was a longer song than what Ed sang. I'm not sure whether Tell Me I'm Wrong is the name of the song Mel Barrett sang about a party he didn't like, so I've included some alternate possibilities. I totally missed the title of Hazel Richings' (first) song. I didn't get titles for Laura Martin's short Gaelic and Bulgarian songs. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks all welcome. Here's what I have: Three Volcano Day Carol for Twelfth Day Senor Don Gato The Clouds are Gwine to Roll Away Duct Tape Bill Bones' Hornpipe The False Bride Song for the Mira A North Country Maid Bring Us In Good Ale For Ireland I'll Not Tell Her Name (in Irish Gaelic) (Ar éirinn Ní n-Eósainn) Strangely Moved Alabama John Cherokee Home on the Front Range The Ditchling Carol A Most Unpleasant Way, Sir Spare Hand Lament Cold Mountain Transformations [Promeny; Czech version of Two Magicians] Harvest Home Carefree the Bird (Rew di ranno, in Welsh) Shame and Scandal Old Woman who Lived in a Wood How Lovely are Thy Dwellings Fathom the Bowl Peaceful Harbor We Ain't Gonna Give It Back Far Side Banks of Jordan Past Carin' Bonnie Susie Cleland Arthur McBride Cold Coast of Ireland Land o' the Leal Quiet Land of Erin (Ardaí Cuain, in Irish Gaelic) [Song by Martin Ryan in Irish Gaelic] (is fada liom uaim I) (?)

09 Dec 20 - 05:37 PM (#4082660) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Monique I think #4 had disappeared between Noreen and me because I was caught off-guard and didn't have the time to send Joe the link to the carol page before singing. |

Thanks to Moorley Man for filling me in on what was done before I joined. I think the only title I didn't get was for the poem Andrew wrote & read about being kicked out of a poetry society for wanting poems to rhyme. Also, I'm not sure whether Hazel's second song is called "I'll Bring the Whiskey if You'll Bring the Wine", or "Old Friends". Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks all welcome.

20 Dec 20 - 02:28 AM (#4084221) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Hi, Everyone - I've been having trouble with blind carbon copy, and I'm not sure you all got the email. Or maybe you got it twice. If a couple of people could let me know here that they got the email, I would feel better. We have Solstice and Christmas and all sorts of celebrations. Let's celebrate them all and have a good time doing it. The next Mudcat Worldwide Singaround is Monday December 21, at 8 PM London time. That's noon here in California, and 3 PM in New York, and early Tuesday in Australia and New Zealand. I had no idea what time it starts in Israel (Shlomo says it's 10 PM), but we have singers from there, too. Come join us! We open doors half an hour before the scheduled time, sing for about 5 hours, and then chat until people are done chatting. All in all, it's a wonderful time. Some people just listen - that's OK, too. Hope you can come. Link will be posted here a couple of hours before the singaround. If you'd like to be on the email list, contact me. joe@mudcat.org |

22 Dec 20 - 05:07 PM (#4084632) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM John, I think that was Leeneia's own composition, so she's probably the only person who has the lyrics. |

Joe is correct; they are my own composition. Tomorrow I'll start a new thread called Lyric Add: Clear was the Night and post the lyrics in it. What do you call it when an author disavows copyright? Common Cause? Copy Complex? Whatever it is, I'll put that notice on it. I'm glad you are interested in the words. |

28 Dec 20 - 06:35 PM (#4085395) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: GUEST,Gallus Moll The painted veil 1 I’ve seen small children die of pain and hunger Those little sticks of human misery And in this day and age I often wonder How long it takes to end such tragedy For something is wrong when we can close our eyes or turn and walk away chorus: Lets change with the times our reasons and our rhythms reviewing how we think by what we hear to live out our days in many different ways will we still be the same this time next year 2 I tremble when I think of Hiroshima Support the cause for mindless wars to cease Condemn the men of power and ambition And all who’d threaten everlasting peace For God only knows there s’ so much to be done We’ve sins enough to bear chorus: 3 Beware of fools and words of doubtful wisdom The hawk who masquerades as gentle dove The bigot who professes to be Christian And murders in the name of God above To look at this world beneath the painted veil May break your heart and soul chorus: 4 Someday we’ll hear the voice of understanding Though many years may pass without a sound When suffering throughout the world is ended And bitter seeds are cast on stony ground When frontiers are gone and we are all as one When no man stands alone chorus: Music and lyrics by Iain Ingram Song notes: I wrote this song many years ago during the period known as ”The Cold War” . While the threat of nuclear war has been greatly reduced, the world in this day and age remains a dangerous place This makes the words of the song as relevant today as they were when I first penned them |

People in the rest of the world are smart and can figure out the time for themselves, but I do know that we're on Tuesday morning in Australia and New Zealand. Doors open for cocktails and conversation half an hour before, and we start singing on the hour. We sing for about 5 hours, giving everyone the chance to sing two songs. Hope you can join us. I emailed the invitation just now, and I'll post it here a couple of hours before the singaround. I change the link every week to try to avoid evil zoombombers. -Joe- Wendy, if the email address is correct on your Mudcat registration, you should be on the email list and should have received an email. for people who didn't get an email, you can join the list by emailing joe@mudcat.org |

Thanks as ever to Moorley Man for filling me in on the ones that came before I joined, and thanks to SPB for some corrections. I didn't get a name for Jane Nichills story about the elephant, nor for Storm's song which I've recorded as "To Make this World a Place where All are Free". Jane Nichills' contribution about a bus ride in wartime London was more a reminiscing than a story, I wouldn't expect it to have a title. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome.

26 Jan 21 - 04:34 AM (#4089958) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Bradfordian Here are the lyrics for he song HERMIONE by DANIEL KELLY which I sang on 25 January zoom session. The tune is ROLLING DOWN TO OLD MAUI. I’m not sure if this is the right place but I see you have one or two song lyrics in this thread. (Should we do a separate thread for new zoom songs? (Or maybe there is already and I didn’t find it!)) HERMIONE by DANIEL KELLY It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife we Gryffindors undergo, We don't give a damn when the term is done how many facts we know. But there is one girl, that we know for sure, will still at her studying be, We’ll drink butter beer and give a cheer to the girl Hermione. Yes her name’s Hermione, it is, Her name’s Hermione, We will win house cup, when the year is up Thanks to our Hermione Once more we fail at the Potions class, wicked recipes Snape has made, But Hermione read, and with level head, she has brewed the winning grade, While Crabb and Goyle set their hair on fire, and Malfoy makes a scowl, When Hermione reads every word she needs, She’ll be outstanding in every owl. A Ravenclaw some said she’d be, but they couldn’t be more wrong, Though her mind is sharp, she’s a lion’s heart, and her will is mighty strong, She is sometimes gruff, like a Hufflepuff, but there’s a sparkle in her eye, Though her bloods not pure, she will endure and triumph by and by. |

Thanks as ever to Moorley Man for filling me in on the ones that came before I joined. I didn't get a title for Fred Maslan's song, "Sailing to Victoria" is a guess. I'm guessing "Always Belay" and "In Praise of Men" as the names for Jane Nichills' stories. "I May Not Have Long" is a guess for Storm's song. Digital Tradition has six versions of Hieland Laddie, and Tony said the one Joe put in the chat wasn't what he (Tony) was singing. I didn't catch a title for Sadie's poem for The Birthday of Francis J. Child. "Liza Jane" comes in many flavors with varying titles. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome.

Thanks as ever to Moorley Man for filling me in on the ones that came before I joined. As usual, I made up names for Jane Nichills' stories, "The Flood and the Family" and "Two Lads and a Foal". "God Bless the Birds" seemed like a good title for Elizabeth Block's takeoff on "God Bless the Grass". "Are You Out There" is a guess for a song Hazel Richings sang.

12 Feb 21 - 05:25 AM (#4092738) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator The title in Czech is Slunécko, which is a diminuitive of slunce which translates as Sun. Wasn't too happy with the performance though, I think neres or tiredness got the better of me, and maybe I should do new material firth time round. The other title - according to the Sheet Music is 'Everyone Calls Me Tarzan'. |

12 Feb 21 - 06:54 AM (#4092752) Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Thanks, SPB. I've added the Czech. I went back and forth between "Everyone Calls Me Tarzan" and "Tarzan of the Apes" as I saw each given as the title by various sources, so I've edited to show both as alternatives. |
