Autumn Wedding
Music: Peggy Seeger
Strike up the music, the fiddlers are waiting,
Two circles form and partners are changing,
Walking and talking and dancing together,
A full life has taught him the price of tomorrow,
Two rivers turn and flow into one,
It's never too late,it's never too early
Written for the wedding of Alexia Smith and Mike Seeger, 8/26/85.

Two circles form and partners are changing
Hope that makes more sense.... |

01 Sep 02 - 08:39 AM (#775123) Subject: RE: Help: Daughters wedding From: GUEST,van lingle "Love Walked In" by the Gershwins and on that same hopeful note is their "Our Love is Here to Stay". Two of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard. If you're looking for something a bit more folky how about the waltzes "Hector the Hero" or "My Own House". congratulations, vl |

01 Sep 02 - 12:18 PM (#775195) Subject: RE: Help: Daughters wedding From: Pinetop Slim Roisin: I wrote the following, "Rebecca's Reel," about my daughter's upgrowing (her name's Accacia, but the tune it's set to is "Rebecca's Reel," a lovely piece in A-modal by the dulcimer player Lucy Sollogub. I think there's some way to improvise about any girl's name into the lyrics.) I thought I might play it or dance to it at her wedding, though she has assured me that will never happen. We'll see. Played slowly enough, I suppose you could do a foxtrot to it. If you're interested, drop me a PM and we'll figure a way to get the tune to you. 1. First her left foot, then her right foot First her left foot, the-n her right Tak-ing steps in white, white boot-ies Al-rea-dy danc-ing Re-bec-ca's Reel. 2. Try-ing out her grand-ma's dress-es Wob-bl-ing in au-n-tie's shoes First steps in high heels are trick-y Reb-ec-ca's reel can ma_ke you smile. Cho: She's the danc-er, she's the dance She's sway-ing to the song of life Glo-ry to its puls-ing rhyth-ms Dance your dance, Rebecca's Reel 3. On the side-walk to her friend's house Skip-ping lines and ski-pp-ing cracks Run-ning in her dirt-y sneak-ers Still she's danc-ing Re-bec-ca's Reel 4. In the dis-tance, bells are chim-ing A mel-o-dy that's hers alone Where's my love-ly danc-er go-ing? Re-bec-ca's Reel will sho-w the way. Chorus |

02 Sep 02 - 06:50 AM (#775472) Subject: RE: Help: Daughters wedding From: Kate If you want something folky how about The Roseville Fair? I love Chris Wood and Andy Cutting's version. It's so lovely. THE ROSEVILLE FAIR (Bill Staines) Oh, the night was clear, and the stars were shining And the moon came up so quiet in the sky. And the people gathered 'round and the band was a'tuning. I can hear them now playing "Coming Thru the Rye." And we danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo. Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air. So long ago, but I still remember When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair. You were dressed in blue, and you looked so lovely, Just a gentle flower of a small town girl. You took my hand, and we stepped to the music. And with a single smile, you became my world. We courted well, and we courted dearly, And we'd rock for hours in the front porch chair Then a year went by from the time that I met you And I made you mine at the Roseville Fair So here's a song for all of the lovers, And here's a tune that they can share May they dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo The way we did at the Roseville Fair. |
