04 Apr 04 - 06:33 AM (#1154035) Subject: RE: Songs for Bob Copper From: Les in Chorlton When I started this thread I imagined lots of people across England/uk/ English folk singing world would be singing Copper songs for Bob, at Folk Clubs this week. I still believe that to be true. Perhaps lots of folkies don't use the Mudcat? |

04 Apr 04 - 06:37 AM (#1154036) Subject: RE: Songs for Bob Copper From: greg stephens I was having a little supper party at home the night we heard the news. So we had a bit of a sing song, with the unusual line-up of Rory McLeod, mark Burke, Kate Barfield and me. The Copper songs we did were "Adieu Sweet Lovely Nancy"(with trombone) and "O Good Ale". |

04 Apr 04 - 12:39 PM (#1154170) Subject: RE: Songs for Bob Copper From: Anglo And at a couple of gigs on the New England side of the pond, Tony & I sang Spencer the Rover, Sportsmen Arouse, Thousands or More. Les, it's certainly true that many folkies don't use Mudcat, and indeed many have never heard of it. And others monitor it but post rarely, if ever. |

05 Apr 04 - 08:38 AM (#1154770) Subject: RE: Songs for Bob Copper From: Bat Goddess I didn't actually get a chance to sing it -- my voice proved still iffy after the last couple week's exertion and Tom wasn't feeling great so we left the session early -- but I was planning on singing "Innocent Hare." Such a legacy of fine song! And so many more of those songs for me to learn! Linn |

I remember Bob miming it in the Dove at Sidmouth when we had a silent singaround (the only sort then allowed in the Dove) in the Taffaid week (benefit events during Folk Week for Taffy Thomas after his heart surgery in the mid 1980s).
