Sort of song that I'd call country, but country people might say was folk.
Any ideas? |

I'd like to say a big, big 'thank you' to all my friends who foolishly encouraged me; to the friends that have unselfishly passed on songs to me; to the folk clubs that have booked me over the years and to all those who helped me put the cd together. (Especially John Sutherland, Liz Merton, Tony Ricketts, Kerrin Worsfold and Tom Miskin.) A selection of traditional and contemporary classics (well I think they are). Twelve of my favourite ballads drawn from 30 years of singing in folk clubs in England and New Zealand. Songs to tug at head and heart:
pharaoh
Also featuring two of New Zealand's most talented folk musician: John Sutherland: vocals, guitars and harmonica, Liz Merton: vocals and fiddle (Thank you John and Liz for your lovely harmonies and music!)
It's not a big production job, so if you'd like a copy please see me around the clubs or festivals or contact me direct: Don't know if that will help or not....... |

Thanks. It's a song that I heard sung in a singaround, and it's hovered on the edge of my mind since. I remember it struck me as very effective, without wasting words, and I'd like to know who wrote it. |

His notes say he got it from Rick and Lorraine Lee (who give the same title and credit on Contrasts - see Rick and Lorraine Lee). This is the Nic Jones version from Unearthed. Mick

15 May 11 - 05:03 PM (#3154647) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Jukebox as She Turned (Jeff Deitchman From: GUEST The lyrics are correct in case anyone is interested. The song is on a cassette album by Jeff Deitchman, "Silver Dollar", dated 1979. I just found it after looking for it for 20 years. Jeff gave up performing, I understand, but he was a brilliant songwriter and performer, as well as being a very nice guy. |

16 May 11 - 05:41 AM (#3154934) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Jukebox as She Turned (Jeff Deitchman From: GUEST,Ralphie Hi mike m. The only version I've heard is Nic Jones. I think he plays it in a dropped C tuning (CGCGCD) and, as usual, not easy to convert into a normal chord sequence/tab. It's not that difficult though, Even I can play it! The York address listed above is no longer in use as the family moved to the West Country a couple of years ago...Try Mollie Music to contact them. |

05 Apr 15 - 08:53 PM (#3699890) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Jukebox as She Turned (Jeff Deitchman From: GUEST The absolute best version of this song is sung by Maggie Holland on her CD By Heart, Rhiannon records RHYD5008 dating from 1995. The words make more sense and are sung clearly and in a style that really suits the lyric. This CD has a number of other superb songs including Cathy Come Home, about homelessness, The Rowan Tree, Evergreen and Postcards from Scarborough, all of which are sung in Maggie's Hampshire accent in a voice that is totally sincere. |

A number..10? 15? 18? years ago, I got a call from someone who knew I had once done video at the Washington Folk Festival. He asked if I had a video of Jeff, because he really wanted on of Jeff's...ummm... stranger songs. I said I did, but I would need Jeff's permission. I offered to locate Jeff and ask..... so I did, and he said sure... and I gave this guy Jeff's phone #, and I guess they corresponded and everyone was happy.. The song was "Chicken in the Fridge" 3rd one down... It is just as catchy & clever as I remember it so many years ago... And DO peruse all the other treasures Jeff has made available..... |
