17 Feb 00 - 10:58 AM (#180009) Subject: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine (Starting a new 'Additions' thread since Part III has exceeded 50 messages) I've added a wonderful song to the Mudcat Songbook by Bev and Jerry, 'Rosa, Oh, Rosa' about a very important woman in US history, Rosa Parks. Please check it out. Thank you Bev and Jerry! -- Áine |

18 Feb 00 - 10:57 AM (#180692) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: The Shambles Refresh. There will be a song coming but I didn't want this thread to fall off the 'edge of the world'. Without the 'super search', I don't know how to get it back again? |
18 Feb 00 - 04:00 PM (#180863) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: The Shambles In the late 50s early 60s, The Ace Café on London's North Circular road, was the place to be and be seen, if you were into 'bikes' and 'bikers'. Nearly all the British made ones like Triumph, Norton BSA and AJS and such like, could be seen but the occasional Harley would receive admiring glances. The early Japanese machines were looked upon as a passing fad., ah, those were the days. I used to go there by bus (oh the shame of it). It seemed then to me, that things would always be the same but….
This song is warmly dedicated to ........? With thanks.
Going up the 'Ace'.
Well, you can keep all of your 'fancy' restaurants
Now the night is filled with such a 'Triumphant' noise
I'm going up the 'Ace'
See the 'ton-up' vicar, all dressed in PVC
Hear the juke-box blearing out, 'Leader Of The Pack'
I'm going up the 'Ace'
There's a bike here from each and every part of the land
Well, you can keep all of your 'fancy' restaurants
I'm going up the 'Ace'
Of course they did take it away Roger Gall.> |
18 Feb 00 - 04:04 PM (#180864) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Good good good! Captures the very sounds and smells of the dive. As tho' I'd been there. Love it. A |
18 Feb 00 - 04:29 PM (#180877) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Great song, Roger! Let me know when you get a taker on the dedication. -- Áine |

ANGUS AND THE KILT |

Well the guarda, fell upon me |
18 Feb 00 - 04:51 PM (#180898) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine I'll be glad to put in -- But, is Lolly Foy a Mudcatter? If not, then I need to have Lolly's permission to post the song in the Songbook. It's a great song!! -- Áine |
18 Feb 00 - 04:51 PM (#180899) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Molly Malone I'm not sure if they should go in the song book or the Database, but I thought you guys would appreciate them... |
18 Feb 00 - 05:08 PM (#180907) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine The Mudcat Songbook is for the original songs and music by the folks at the Mudcat. To get information on the what, where and how to add songs to the Digitral Tradition Database, please send a personal message to 'dick greenhaus', and he will give you all the info you need. Thanks, Áine |
18 Feb 00 - 05:38 PM (#180929) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: MMario I think Angus and the kilt already made it in, I know it was a thread topic, and I posted the words as well as I remember them after getting Lolly's permission. |
18 Feb 00 - 05:40 PM (#180931) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Molly Malone MMario I seched for it and couldn't find anything...let me know if you have any luck. Her baby is BEAUTIFUL! We nicknamed her Nada...can you figure out why? As a matter of fact, I'm doing Angus and the Kilt at ARF this year! |
18 Feb 00 - 06:02 PM (#180940) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: MMario Molly M ... I was wrong, it isn't in the DT - but it is in a thread right about here I haven't seen the baby yet, drat! Missed Lolly a lot this summer; and have missed seeing Wench Work since they left KRF. I used to love to sit and listen to their unofficial "quiet show" |

18 Feb 00 - 06:21 PM (#180952) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine I've just added another masterpiece by Micca to the Mudcat Songbook. It's 'Paean To Cleigh', a soleful(!) hymn to possum brothers everywhere. Check it out and enjoy -- just no blowing anything while your inside the Songbook, OK? Thanks for the heads-up on that Mr. P. -- Áine |
19 Feb 00 - 02:06 AM (#181113) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: The Shambles To The Keepr Of The Book Could you dedicate the song to Amos and yourself, in thanks for all of your fine contributions to The Mudcat?

19 Feb 00 - 11:36 AM (#181223) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Dear Lodger, I've placed your dedication to Amos on 'Going Up The Ace'. That was a nice thing for you to do, and may you be the receiver of many smoles today! -- Áine |

It's a charming song about a panda, a girl, and a dictionary. You can find it in the Thread Songs category. Check it out and have a giggle over your bagle this morning! Thanks Calach, for this your first submission to the Songbook. -- Áine |

23 Feb 00 - 01:25 PM (#183498) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: The Shambles This started out to be a harsh comment on the 'art' world but ended up being a tribute to an individual artist. It is also about how to achieve a kind of immortality and a good excuse for a lot of heavy name-dropping.
A Little Titian
If you want your portrait done
Don't want to appear, in no Vermeer
I could have asked Van Gogh
Well I'm no prude
Don't want to hang in the Louvre
Among kings and heads of state
Roger Gall. Don't forget, for a small donation to The Mudcat, there is still the opportunity for you or your loved ones, to be immortalised, in a song to be commissioned from our Amos. I would not bet against him being able to paint your portrait also? |
23 Feb 00 - 01:28 PM (#183501) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Dang, shambles, that is one hell of a song. I love it. Perhaps our own local Titian Texan will post it with a Gold Border for Extra Excellence! A |
23 Feb 00 - 01:52 PM (#183524) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Newest additions to the Mudcat Songbook are: The Endless Roads by McGrath of Harlow, one of our Mudcat Mastersongwriters. A very moving song that came up on the 'Refugees' thread. We Can't Take It Anymore by Mary G, another great song that surfaced on the same 'Refugees' thread. A Little Titian by The Shambles, a song that, as he says himself, involves some 'heavy' name dropping! As for the latest SONG CHALLENGE! Winners, here's the list:
Spam by Barky There's lots of new songs to enjoy and contemplate -- So, what are you waiting for? -- Áine |
23 Feb 00 - 01:54 PM (#183531) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Mbo Aw, c'mon Shamb..lay off us artists. We're not that bad... --Mbo |
23 Feb 00 - 02:02 PM (#183541) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Mbo: In your case the problem is that you won't admit how good you are, not that you're anyway bad. I believe Spaw has some mycoxafalin in a renewable prescription if you need to resort to it, just to keep your pecker up. (BG! BG! Just joshin' ya, man!) |
23 Feb 00 - 02:05 PM (#183550) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Apologies to Mary G!! I typed the title of her new song in the Songbook incorrectly. The name should be: We Can't Take Any More. -- Áine (The Beeper of the Kook again) |
23 Feb 00 - 02:10 PM (#183559) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Áine Thank you again for making this merry mass of madcap marvels behave like real artists. What a crop of genius and inspiration. What a crew! You are really something. A |

24 Feb 00 - 05:25 PM (#184250) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Sorry about the delay in uploading these two songs on the Songbook; but, my computer cable keeps going out on me. Here are the latest additions to the Mudcat Songbook: Down On Barky's Farm by Bert and There Was A Panda by Praise. Go forth and enjoy! -- Áine |
24 Feb 00 - 07:52 PM (#184338) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Master Songwriter McGrath of Harlow has done it again -- this time with a political song entitled The Once And Future Ken. My favorite lines are "He's a pestilential newt, Thomas Becket in a suit." Have a look, he's even offering to sing it for ya! -- Áine |
24 Feb 00 - 10:04 PM (#184403) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine This evening's additions to the Mudcat Songbook are a couple of ditties by two relative newbies to the 'Cat. Will That Be Broadcast Or Cable, Sir? by Praise, singing the 'praises' of Mudcat TV, and No Bullshit From You by Amos, singing the 'praises' of our own dear Catspaw (with a response by the latter included). Keep playing, singing, and writing! -- Áine |
24 Feb 00 - 11:23 PM (#184445) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos I want to go on record that Spaw's scurrilous attack was unfounded, without merit and meretricious, as I explained in the reply to his post, which should also be included in the thread. The idea that I would do something disrespectful to one of our old, fat Community Elders is totally slanderous. |
25 Feb 00 - 09:59 AM (#184630) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Just added a song by Mbo entitlted The Brigade to the Mudcat Songbook. Call it youthful exuberance, revolutionary spirit, or 'don't mess with us' in song, it's a jolly little marching song that will start your day off right! -- Áine |
25 Feb 00 - 06:54 PM (#184997) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Just added a song by Lin in Ozland entitled 'Crayon-Colored World', a nostalgic stroll and a lovely song. Please go see Lin's first submission to the Mudcat Songbook! Let's hope this is just the firts of many! Keep playing, singing, and writing, Áine |
25 Feb 00 - 07:22 PM (#185010) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos Nice song! So...you're still in Kansas? And to think the phrase was coined just to rile 'Spaw... |

26 Feb 00 - 06:39 PM (#185418) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine This evening's additions are My Bodhrán Is Too Tight by Troll (the title says it all, doesn't it?) and The Anna Grace by Willie-O, a song about a fishing boat, and to quote the man himself -- My daughter just told me this was her favorite lullaby when she was little. I think its my best work. It's not really about fishing, or boats, at all. It's about the inevitability of aging and the whims of fate. They're both as good as they look, so check 'em out. It's rumoured that Willie-O will be sending in a recording of his song to Max for the Mudcat Radio soon. Let's hope so! Well done, the both of you! -- Áine |
27 Feb 00 - 09:31 AM (#185715) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Good morning! Well, the 'Catters over on the SONG CHALLENGE! Part 10 thread kept themselves busy and out of trouble (except for Barky!) last night, and they came up with a couple of songs that I've added to the Mudcat Songbook. Why Barky's Not At Work Today by Mbo and The Night That Young Barky Got Busted by Amos, Áine and Mbo. (No, she didn't go to the pokey! Daddy Amos caught her posting to the Mudcat from someone else's computer). Also added to the Songbook was Mudcat Cafe Number 61 by Amos, a ponderment on the origins of the 'Cat -- very deep. Well done, everyone! -- Áine |
27 Feb 00 - 11:01 AM (#185737) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Willie-O Why thank you again Aine. Said daughter grabs the internet connection on the upstairs computer every time I get disconnected...she'd developed a severe habit of Harry Potter message boards. I'm not much in a position to lecture her, just have to demand my turn! I'm sure glad the Songbook exists as a place to put up old works--I just can't seem to get the hang of any of these challenges--I can't write to order, at least not at the drop of a challenge. I tend to turn things over in the cranium for a long time before writing about them--except I usually forget to ever get around to it! Willie-O |
27 Feb 00 - 11:11 AM (#185742) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Amos But when they do come out, they're done just right! |
28 Feb 00 - 07:55 AM (#186085) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine What better way to start a new week -- Hike up yer skirt and kick up yer heels with The Schmielzo Polka by Praise!! This wonderful song should get yer blood pumping and yer toupee flapping -- go forth, dance and enjoy! Thank you, Praise, for a great new song and here's hoping there'll be lots more where that came from! Keep playing, singing, and writing (and dancing!), Áine |

28 Feb 00 - 05:14 PM (#186391) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Just added a late entry to the SONG CHALLENGE! Part 10 -- The Ballad Of Ferretman by Troll (F.F.F. Local 50) to the SONG CHALLENGE! WINNERS PAGE. Yet another wonderful folk song about Patrick Wright's crusade for the sharp-toothed and furry.

28 Feb 00 - 11:17 PM (#186559) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Willie-O OK Aine, you asked for it...even as I write the mp3 of "Anna Grace" is crawling through the pipe between my modem and my ISP...sure hope Max can receive it faster than I can send it. I don't know anyone else who actually requests that persons unknown send them 5 meg attachments. Its the second one I've sent him so I said he'd have to decide which one to use...the other is an instrumental and not much use to the songbook ;=> Willie-O On A Slow Pipe To West Chester |
29 Feb 00 - 09:55 AM (#186720) Subject: RE: Part IV - Additions to Mudcat Songbook From: Áine Fantastic, Willie-O!! Here's hoping all the bytes and gigs reached their destination safely and reconfigured correctly! You know, On A Slow Pipe To West Chester sure sounds like a good song to me -- what do you think? Sure hope that Max plays Anna Grace on Wednesday. -- Áine |
