14 Apr 02 - 01:15 PM (#689842) Subject: Professor Barleycorn - Howard Kaplan From: Herga Kitty I've just returned from the (UK) National Folk Music Festival, at which Pete Wood gave a very interesting lecture on the sources, history and versions of John Barleycorn. This reminded me of Howard Kaplan's Professor Barleycorn song. I have the words, because Howard posted them to a website, but I can't find the website link any more and I don't have the tune (it's not in the DT, at least not under "Professor Barleycorn" - even when I spell it right)! Can anyone provide the dots? Kitty |

If you want to retrieve the music, the lyrics, and even a MIDI file of Professor Barleycorn, you can most efficiently start at http://home.inforamp.net/~hkaplan/SongSheets.htm#ProfessorBarleycorn. If, on the other hand, you want to get to the whole page of over 30 songs that includes the just-mentioned links, you can start at the much more succinct http://songsheets.thrinberry-frog.com. Unfortunately, the service that redirects my web site URLs for you cannot redirect the #something links within it, which is why I will soon be moving my web site to a place that can host it under the name I want, http://www.thrinberry-frog.com, without redirection. Among other features, that web site will even now answer the question you've all been silently asking yourselves while reading this paragraph, "What's a thrinberry?". |
