Perhaps you may think it's not all true |

21 Dec 01 - 12:18 AM (#614045) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Wonderful Christmas Pig From: katlaughing Our own JohnP and his wife, in their band, "Telynor," have one on their Christmas album, "Off the Beaten Track," which has a Christmas Pig song, but the title they show is "Christmas Day." I just got the CD, so don't have the words down, yet. they list it as a Trad. English carol. If you search for a thread in the past week about "Mudcatter on radio" you will find a link to a radio program on which they performed this song and it is archived, so you could give a listen. If you can't find the thread, holler and I'll dig it up. Fantastic CD, btw, I highly recommend it, esp. if one likes medieval-type music with hurdy-gurdy, recorders, crumhorn, cittern and lots of other unusual instruments! kat |

21 Dec 01 - 01:38 AM (#614066) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Wonderful Christmas Pig From: Anglo Thanks, Kat, but that song, a.k.a. "There Was A Pig Went Out To Dig," is a different animal, so to speak. But thanks for pointing me to the radio program. I do have a couple of Telynor CDs, so I am familiar with them - not this particular CD though. I also have been known to crank away on the hurdy-gurdy :-) But I'm still no closer to finding the Wonderful Xmas Pig. I suspect the Rolf Harris song is it. I should perhaps have posted my question before England went to sleep for the night. |

21 Dec 01 - 11:00 AM (#614201) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Wonderful Christmas Pig From: Skipper Jack Dear Anglo, There is a Christmas song entitled, "The Wonderful Sucking Pig." The 1st verse:
You all have heard of the Christmas Goose and the walloping great pie, Is this a version of the one that you are thinking of? I got this from a EFDSS magazine 1974. It can also be found in "Marrow Bones" song book from the Hammond & Gardner Mss. Selected and edited by Frank Purslow. That again is EFDSS publication. Dave R. |
