Though nominally written by A. P. Carter and his friend Leslie Riddle, it is essentially a collection of floating blues verses. Riddle, who was Black, not only collected songs with Carter but supplied him with blues material A.P. may not have heard otherwise.

04 Mar 23 - 11:08 AM (#4166851) Subject: RE: Any March Songs? From: GUEST,henryp On this day in 1824, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was founded. Many songs have already been posted on these pages recording their valiant efforts to save lives at sea. I shall just name the show Cork Jackets and Drill. This tells the story of the 1886 Southport lifeboat disaster, which claimed the lives of almost all the crew members of the Southport and St Annes lifeboats. Songs and script by Southport-based playwright Len Pentin, who was supported by Chris Nelson, Siobhan Nelson, Clive Pownceby and Pete Rimmer - all members of the Bothy Folk Club - plus narrator Colin Wayte.

17 Mar 23 - 08:04 AM (#4167798) Subject: RE: Any March Songs? From: GUEST,Roderick A Warner IVRY by Patti Smith I came across this performance via one of mySubstack accounts: Patti Smith singing her song ‘Ivry’ commemorating the death of French writer Antonin Artaud on March 4th 1948. Hopefully fits within the parameters for inclusion. Patti was in Paris a couple of weeks ago with an installation dedicated to Artaud and this clip is from a live performance at the Centre Pompidou. The Substack one is slightly better but I don’t want to bootleg it. This clip gives the flavour of the song: Ivry Ivry was the asylum where Artaud spent his last years. While I was listening to it I remembered the story about Artaud’s visit to Ireland which would make a droll film or song. Involving St Patrick’s walking stick or some nonsense, from memory. St Patrick’s day, Artaud’s death and the merry month of March. A nice hit… |
