Deborah and Tom are all of five minutes from SINSULL's. 6PM start Buffet + Beverages Song Circle until... Beds available at my house. Who's in?

Don't know why Sinsull wasn't there yesterday - I was digging out of a load of work that descended upon me as a result of 4 days in warmer climes. Let me know if you need directions....... Mary - my HUSHAND is very special -- one of a kind!! They don't make them like that any more!!!! Jeri, will pm you with directions - so glad you can come. |

19 Feb 07 - 02:49 PM (#1972755) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: adventure Well, that was short lived.....no LZ required(thanks Jeri)as a board meeting was just cancelled and rescheduled for the 24th of February due to a new member of our Adventure team arriving early. New baby, not ours, with first time parents at 59 and 40 respectively. So this takes care of the afternoon and evening for us. Hope you all have a great time and sing your hearts out. See you all soon. Doryman and hs mate. |

19 Feb 07 - 07:35 PM (#1973062) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL We'll miss you two. Meantime my bed is afloat - the roof died. So I may need a dry bed. I hope my insurance will replace this one. M |

19 Feb 07 - 10:00 PM (#1973189) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Huh? The sky dripped through the upper floor to fall upon your bed downstairs? That really sucks! I can hang in the motorhome or wherever (if it was just a bit warmer, the car would probably be OK), or I can drive home as long as I leave before I turn into a pumpkin. The directions (thanks TB!) look easy to follow. |

19 Feb 07 - 10:23 PM (#1973205) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: TRUBRIT This should be fun (although we will miss Doryman, his mate, Micca, Carole and Andrew -- although personally I think the UK isn't THAT far away for a weekend trip!!!). I know Mary is having some trauma at home with a leaky roof (email messages exchanged earlier with a frantic plea for the names of roofers......) - so let's do this. We have a guest bedroom that can have Tom and Linn's name on it. Mary and Jeri are welcome to stay -- it may be couches (of which we have plenty) or one of my spoiled son's three rooms (he has a bedroom, living room and workout room on account of his big sisters not living here any more.....). Frankly if I were in your shoes, I would opt for a nice comfy couch in front of a warm fire before I would set my toe in one of his rooms ..... but then I am his mother and I know what I might find there.... Tami - are you on? Any others welcome though good to know numbers so right amount of food can be prepared. We will provide the main meal -- guests should focus on dessert or nibbles..... |

20 Feb 07 - 07:57 AM (#1973517) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess We'll use that guest BR, Deb! Now we just need coherent directions on how to get to your place from Mary's (bcause we know how to get to Mary's...). Linn |

20 Feb 07 - 08:03 AM (#1973526) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Sinsull- Is it one of those nasty ice-dams causing problems? Whatever you do, don't let Kendall get up on your roof with a hatchet. Kendall may re-shingle the rum-seller's roof but I'm less sure about his capacity to re-shingle yours. Charley Noble |

20 Feb 07 - 06:04 PM (#1974224) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL I contacted the insurance company who gave me a roofer and will give me the name of a reputable ceiling replacer. They should replace the bed as well. Now there are wet spots in the closet and the sunroom. I am beginning to see why some people prefer being homeless. I have my erye on a shopping cart with Deborah's ad on it. Think of all the advertising she will get when me and my four cats show up at Preble Street. A bed??? I was going to offer to be designated driver. We'll see how the evening plays out. Might be nice to sleep without fear of the ceiling falling on my head. Actually - I think the tiny nuns did it.

20 Feb 07 - 07:28 PM (#1974334) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Sins -- is this a continuation of your previous roof problems or something completely different? Oh, and speaking of nuns (sort of), I've been meaning to ask you -- where (and why, of course) did you get the Amish-like bonnet and apron? (And why was I the recipient?!?) Linn |

25 Feb 07 - 10:40 AM (#1978839) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL I slept over at Deborah and Tom's on a very comfortable sofa in front of a fireplace. Someone over served me and Tami said I could not drive. (So did I). Wonderful music and as usual incredible food. I started the evening with "You Are My Sunshine' - hadn't heard it in a while. Deborah did some 70s folk rock. Charlie introduced a new song and I left the lyrics on a coffee table. Tom had a brain problem and couldn't remember Foggy Foggy Dew so he sang - I don't remember. Someone help out here. Judy performed Kitty Kane and shared the lyrics. Maybe we need a night of lovable whore songs. This one is a winner. Linn and Tom were unusually quiet. What did Linn sing? Now for a nap. Many thanks to Deborah and Tom for a wonderful evening. John Roberts is next. |

25 Feb 07 - 11:02 AM (#1978860) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Jeri- We certainly missed you in between bites of quice, sauteyed chicken in a wonderful white sauce, sald, small red potatoes, and key lime pie and my baked cheesecake. The cheesecake was lighter than I usually make but it seemed to go down well, and we left enough for the breakfast gang. I sang C. Fox Smith's "Lumber" without messing up the 4th verse and now I feel much better. Judy and I also tried a song ("I'll Say Good-Bye") we've been working on alternatively for a year. Our verses don't exactly correlate but the plot is the familar one of the sailor being called back to the sea, leaving his love behind, or so it begins and then switches tacks. I'm not sure whose version is more warped but both include the "pierhead leap." The tune and chorus came in a dream and it's a very pleasing tune. I'm less sure about the verses. John Warner's "Kitty Kane" certainly deserves more attention. I wish I could more reliably figure out the tune but JudyB does a fine job of leading it. Maybe because Barry Finn wasn't there we felt free to put together a collaborative "London Julie." I also was asked to sing my original version of "Yangtse River Shanty." It certainly was just nice to sit around the bright fireplace chatting and swapping songs. Thanks again, TRUBRIT and Tom, for hosting this song party! Will we see you at the next Shanty Sing in Portsmouth (NH) in two weeks? Cheerily, Charley Noble |

25 Feb 07 - 11:58 AM (#1978903) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 It was a small but fun gathering. But we did miss Jeri and Jacqui. I was kind of hoping to get Jeri to sing "When I Go," but I guess it can wait. |

25 Feb 07 - 05:09 PM (#1979231) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Well, I've still got a bit of a headache, but while you were finishing up whatever you had for breakfast, I wrote a waltz. It was for Clancy, and is for Seamus and will be for Bandit - called The Yellow Dog. I have a webspot someplace, but I don't know where I left it. If you're interested in hearing it (2K MIDI), either pm me with your e-mail address, or e-mail me. I haven't written a tune for around 4 years... |

25 Feb 07 - 07:43 PM (#1979369) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Oh, let's see, what DID I sing? I think I started out with "The Maid Gae To the Mill", a sweet country love song I learned from a Ewan MacColl recording. Then I started "Backside of Nantucket Point" but my voice (the bitch) wouldn't stay. The dry air hits all of a sudden and when least expected. Sigh. But I recovered. Hmm... The Watersons' "Chickens In the Garden", a bit of '60s doo wop " Told Every Little Star" (strictly traditional...), started the chorus and verse on "London Julie", a bit of "Gin, Gin Was Mother's Ruin". Can't remember what else (if anything) off hand. Good conversation, too! A delightful evening. Thanks, Deborah and Tom, for hosting it! Linn Linn |

26 Feb 07 - 07:53 AM (#1979719) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess I just started listening to the tapes this morning -- we shouldn't forget Charley's "The Landlord's Lullaby". I also regaled the crowd with the story (and photograph that my sister had just sent me) of my parents' first apartment in Colby, Wisconsin in 1947. For $17 a month they got a second floor apartment with the bathroom down an outside stairway to a garage in the back. And then...the landlord sold the garage and they had to avail themselves of the facilities in the Mobil gas station (alsoin the photo) across the street (Hwy. 13) from them. Just found this http://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/PaceEgging.htm this morning, which ties in with the Watersons' song Deborah sang early in the evening. (Been meaning to learn that one for years.)

26 Feb 07 - 08:05 AM (#1979738) Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble "The Landlord's Lullaby" was one of the songs I was surprised to find on the Mudcat DT when I first joined. I was intrigued about how it got here but never was able to identify who added it. I co-authored it back in the early 1970's when I was directing a tenant/landlord counseling center in the university town of East Lansing, Michigan. It commemorates an incident when a downtown rooming house had to be evacuated because of leaking gas. We enjoyed this kind of gallows humor in those days gone by. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
