From: GUEST,Felipa another one to add to the Hiroshima songs is ZHURAVLI / CRANES https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=106885#2211631 In the author Rasul Gamzatov's native Dagestan, there is a an annual White Cranes Festival held 22 Oct, so I should remember to also add the song to the Oct song list when it starts. There is yet another August connection as well as Hiroshima, however, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuravli "The poem's publication in the journal Novy Mir caught the attention of the famous actor and crooner Mark Bernes who revised the lyrics and asked Yan Frenkel to compose the music. When Frenkel first played his new song, Bernes (who was by then suffering from lung cancer) cried because he felt that this song was about his own fate: 'There is a small empty spot in the crane flock. Maybe it is reserved for me. One day I will join them, and from the skies I will call on all of you whom I had left on earth.' The song was recorded from the first attempt on 9 July 1969. Bernes died on 16 August 1969, about five weeks after recording the song, and the recording was played at his funeral. Later on,'Zhuravli' would most often be performed by Joseph Kobzon. According to Frenkel, 'Cranes' was Bernes' last record, his 'true swan song.'" A link to more Hiroshima themed songs |

From: GUEST,henryp SADDLEWORTH RUSHCART SONGS From An August Bank Holiday Lark by Deborah McAndrew for Northern Broadsides When the Saddleworth Rushcart was revived in 1974 the Morris men also resurrected an old song, sung by their predecessors. To the traditional tune of ‘Brighton Camp’ the Rushcarters sing the following words, taken directly from the banner of the Greenfield village ‘Armistice Cart’ of 1918: Oh the Rushcart lads are bonny bonny lads The Rushcart lads are bonny Oh they dance round 'cart and whistle like a lark And that’s as good as ony With heft and heart we pull the cart In August bright and sunny The Rushcart lads are bonny bonny lads The Rushcart lads are bonny They shoulder t’gun to fight the hun Fight as good as ony Oh the Rushcart lads are bonny bonny lads The Rushcart lads are bonny Saddleworth Morris Men sing part of the above song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PXW-IE7TZ0 With the kind permission of the Saddleworth Morris Men, Deborah McAndrew has used this song in the play, just altering the words slightly for the first Act when the young men have not yet gone to fight. On Rushcart Day the song is woven with another song, composed for this production by the great folk singer Mike Waterson just before he died. Director Barrie Rutter commissioned his friend, Mike, to write the song knowing that he was dying and would never see it performed. Cut the rushes, pile them high Stack them ‘til they reach the sky So the church be warm and dry Oh we are all rushcarters On our hats a bright bouquet Sing the summer, dance the day Come we will, if come we may Oh we are all rushcarters We are not rich, we are not poor We do not beg from door to door You have seen us all before We are all rushcarters Through the village, up the hill Round the green and by the mill Bearing rushes, dancing still We are all rushcarters Dance we did in days of yore Like our fathers did before We will dance for evermore We are all rushcarters |

31 Aug 22 - 05:54 AM (#4151579) Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,henryp I’D LIKE TO BUY THE WORLD A COKE 31 August 1900. Coca-Cola first went on sale in Britain. I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke January 18, 1971 Bill Backer, creative director on the Coca-Cola account for the McCann Erickson advertising agency, was flying to London to meet up with Billy Davis, the music director on the Coca-Cola account, to write radio commercials with two successful British songwriters, Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, to be recorded by the New Seekers, a popular British singing group. [This great song was written in almost 24 hours and campaign’s directors tried to film the clip as quickly as the song.] The new budget eventually topped $250,000, a staggering amount in that era. Davis allowed a group of studio singers to record the new song lyric to "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke." They called themselves "The Hillside Singers" in order to identify with the TV image. Within two weeks of the release of the Hillside Singers recording, it was on the national charts. Two weeks after that, Davis was able to convince the New Seekers to find the time and record their version of "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony)," the new title for the song version of "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke." He took them to the studio on a Sunday and produced the record which became the Top 10 hit, followed by the Hillside Singers' version as No. 13 on the pop charts. The song was recorded in a wide range of languages and sold more sheet music than any song in the previous 10 years. The Coca-Cola Company donated the first $80,000 in royalties earned from the song by writers and publishers to UNICEF under an agreement with the writers. Creating the ad |

09 Aug 23 - 10:31 PM (#4178895) Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,henryp 10 August On this day in 1842, the Mines Act was passed by the British Parliament, forbidding women and children to work underground. I praise your good intentions, Sir, I love your kind and gentle heart But now it's 1842, and you and me, we're miles apart A hundred years and more will pass before we're walking side by side But please accept my grateful thanks. God bless you Sir, at least you tried In August 1842 the Children's Employment Commission drew up an act of Parliament which gave a minimum working age for boys in mines, though the age varied between districts and even between mines. The Mines and Collieries Act 1842 also outlawed the employment of women and girls in mines. In 1870 it became compulsory for all children aged between five and thirteen to go to school, ending much of the hurrying. It was still a common profession for school leavers well into the 1920s. The 1969 song THE TESTIMONY OF PATIENCE KERSHAW by Frank Higgins (recorded by Roy Bailey and The Unthanks) is based on the testimony of Patience Kershaw (aged 17) when she spoke to the Children's Employment Commission. Her testimony includes: "The bald place upon my head is made by thrusting the corves ... I hurry the corves a mile and more underground and back; they weigh 3 cwt ... The getters that I work for are naked except for their caps ... Sometimes they beat me if I am not quick enough". It was published in My Song Is My Own (compiled by Kathy Henderson, Pluto Press, 1979).

15 Aug 23 - 10:15 AM (#4179240) Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 26 Sep 22 - 09:30 AM SCARBOROUGH FAIR In medieval times, Scarborough Fair lasted 45 days and started every year on August 15th. In 1891 Kidson published a version "sung by a ballad singer in Whitby streets twenty or thirty years ago". And he got a second version from Mr. A. Wardill, a railway pointsman of Goathland, refrain; Rue, parsley, rosemary and thyme. The Whitby and Pickering Railway, one of earliest railways in Yorkshire, had opened throughout on 26 May 1836. Cecil Sharp in 1913 collected a tune and three verses from Richard Hutton, aged 65, also in Goathland. Ewan MacColl claims he collected the famous melody from Mark Anderson (1874–1953), a retired lead miner from Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham in 1947. Jim Boyes, born Bridlington, 1945, and Belinda O'Hooley, born Leeds, 1971, notably perform Kidson's words to Mr Wardill's tune on Sensations of a Wound, The Long, Long Trail of Robert Riby Boyes. (No Masters NMCD44 2015). Robert Riby "Croppie" Boyes, Jim's grandfather, was bred and born in Scarborough. Jim also chose the song because of the reference to the shirt, which leads to a song later in the story. Pete Coe and Alice Jones sing the same version on the Yorkshire Garland page, The Search for Frank Kidson; https://www.yorkshirefolksong.net/kidson.cfm Scarborough Fair |
