27 Dec 01 - 01:50 AM (#616878) Subject: Tropical and Southern Hemisphere Xmas From: Haruo I'm looking for Tropical and/or Southern-Hemisphere Christmas carols that have nativity themes set in summer or at least muggy heat. There've been a few recently in Australian threads, but not many, and I know of one (Carol our Christmas, our upside-down Christmas, from New Zealand) but surely there must be others from those countries, and also from South America and South Africa, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Indonesia/Timor/PNG, the Congo formerly known as Zaïre, etc. Chords and/or tunes and/or MIDIs or whatever would be helpful, too, but lyrics are a good place to start.

Thanks. So now NZ is heavily represented. What about the other places I mentioned, and those I left out?

27 Dec 01 - 07:45 PM (#617346) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tropical and Southern Hemisphere Xma From: Amos The reason is because you typed them into composer, which then considers them to be literal chars, not HTML commands. The source code in the unsuccessful link uses ampersand commands to force HTM to display the brackets as brackets rather than process them as HTML: <a href="http://.. etc. shows as a literal, instead of starting an HTML command.

This is a working link, even a decade later: http://folksong.org.nz/nzchristmas/index.html. This must have been when I was really new here, since it looks like it was my first encounter with masato sakurai sensei! Unfortunately, his Gibson link no longer works. Anybody know what was there? |
