12 Aug 02 - 12:41 AM (#763666) Subject: mermaid festival From: GUEST,pegmiller@nehalemtel.net I've decided to have a Mermaid Festival here on the North Oregon Coast and would like to have someone (our local musicians) sing the mermaid songs/shanties. I see a lot of wonderful songs on the site, but wonder how to obtain the music. Can anyone give me more info? I'm not a musician--I have a bookshop and a bed and breakfast--so I really don't know how to proceed. |

12 Aug 02 - 10:10 AM (#763802) Subject: RE: mermaid festival From: Sorcha Seems to me that Guest Peg wants to know how to find the Music for the songs she has found here. Here is the SuperSearch result for and @mermaid: Mermaid. If there is a Click to play link at the bottom of the page, the sheet music can be found here: DT Mirror. This site seems to be down at the moment, but keep trying.Also, many of the songs posted in the forum have either a MIDI or an ABC tune attached. To learn about ABC, look for Chris Walshaw's ABC Home page. It's a great tool. |
