Date: 6 Oct 92 16:25:23 CDT
Organization: Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY

Hello to all Harmonica lovers,

I have just had a list server for harmonica created.  This list is
open to anyone who plays any type of music, who likes any type of
music and those who are just curious.  EVERYONE is WELCOME!!!

This is for no certain type of music.  Personally, I would like to see
a large amount of diversity.  Blues, Jazz, Folk, Classical, Country
and all other styles of harmonica playing are welcome.

To subscribe to this server write (via e-mail) to:

	LISTSERV@WKUVX1.BITNET

The body of the letter should be this:

	SUBSCRIBE HARP-L "your real name"

The server should send you a help file and any letters already in the
archives (which is not many, YET!!).

If you have any questions or problems write me at:

	PIERCCM@WKUVX1.BITNET

If you know of others who would be interested, please let them know.


Thanks,

Chris Pierce

The lyrics to Tam Lin (almost exactly the way Fairport Convention recorded
it, tho with some additional verses) are printed in one of the Oxford
Anthologies.  I believe it's the Oxford Treasury of English Verse.  
There are also lyrics there to a surprising number of other ballads which 
became folk-rock songs (Twa Corbies, etc. etc.).

O flower of Scotland            
When will we see                
Your like again                 
That fought and died for        
Your wee bit hill and glen      
And stood against him           
Proud Edward's army

Tae think again                 
                                
The hills are bare now          
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now      
Which those so dearly held      
And stood against him           
Proud Edward's army             
And sent him homeward           
Tae think again                 
                                
Those days are passed now       
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now       
And be the nation again         
That stood against him          
Proud Edward's army

As long as we're discussing Mr. MacLean...

Does anyone know where I can find copies of his albums on CD at reasonable
(e.g., domestic) prices?  I have seen (I think) all of them (a little under a
year ago) on sale at Tower Records in Cambridge, Mass. for $11.99 each, but
since then have been unable to find them at better than import prices.
Anyone know of any mail-order companies that have them at low prices?

BTW, I already have _The_Search_ (a five-star album all the way!) and
_Indigenous_ on CD.

(I'd be interested in a full & correct discography as a consolation prize,
BTW. :-)

Ian Matthews was one of the founding members of Fairport Convention.  He's on
their first album and "What We Did on Our Holidays" and a couple of songs on
"Unhalfbricking."  He left before the band created Celtic Rock.  In the 70's he
was in Mathews Southern Comfort.  They had one major hit, I think -- a cover of
Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock."

I've always found his music pleasant, but nothing to get excited about.

The band I play with has made a cassette and CD recently - just waiting
(yawn) for the printing to come back before the final pressings/copyings
and boxing are complete. The reason we went for CD was because of the
amazing change that has come over shops and distributors in the last
2 years - NO long play records available in most shops....And also
because all the recent Folk/Trad/Dance Band/Pipe Band music is always
available on cassette and more often available on CD and NOT lp.
Also after weeks of discussion back in january we all felt that if we
had any faith in our playing at all we should produce the type of item
we would buy - and for 4 out of 5 that is CD....
The costs in the U.K. were pretty high for CD production - the raw
cassette costs (without art work or printing) was about 30p an item,
the CD was more like 1.50 pounds!!! Printing and recording costs and
freebeis and associated overheads make a total run of 500 cassettes
and 500 CDs cost in the region of 6000 pounds...So don't be surprised
if you have to sell it to distributors for much less than the cost
per item, and if your friends are surprised that it costs them more
than it might in the shops!!!!
In U.K. the best company to use for CDs is NIMBUS - who are also the
first and best for cds for computers. The local scottish group for
cassettes and lps is Grampian.

I am not sure why anyone would find Eppie Morrie 'bawdy'. It is explicit
in way that most 'folk' songs are not nowadays. And it is pretty unusual
as it provides an example of a woman who is NOT raped. Traditional songs
have often been explicitly sexual and also anti-female - see the unexpurgated
Burns collection which includes the unpleasant version of 'my wifes a canty
wee thing'. There are some which are 'bawdy' in the sense of not exactly
describing fornication or other rude things but using some kind of metaphor
- say weaving or piping or cuckoos nests - to obliquely refer to the
subject. Ballads often describe actual happenings - in a way they were the
5 minute news braodcast of their day. I am sure that children have been
educated by fairy stories in a more subversive way than by 'folk' song!
See Alison Luries 'not in front of the adults' for thoughts on this.

   I suggest you look into the immortal Stan Rogers ( actually he's dead ) for
for some wonderful music of the Sea, as well as other great songs.  He has a 
song book which covers his first four of six albums:

1) Fogarty's Cove
2) Turnaround
3) Between the Breaks ( Live )
4) North West Passage
5) For the Family
6) From Fresh Water

     Some Sea Songs:

  1)   Barret's Privateers
  1)   Fisherman's Wharf
  1)   The Maid on the Shore ( Trad. )
  1)   Make and Break Harbour
  2)   The Bluenose  ( You know the one the Canadian dime ...)
  2)   The Jeannie C. 
  3)   The Mary Ellen Carter 
  3)   Rolling Down to Ole Maui
  3)   The Flowers of Bermuda
  5)   Three Fishers

  From Fresh Water has some great songs about the great lakes region ...
  "Lake Songs" ????

    White Squall
    The Nancy
    Last Watch on the Midland ( ??? )


       BTW, "Barret's Privateers" and "Rolling Down to Ole Maui" are the only 
       Chanteys listed.

I absolutely agree that this is one of the (perhaps) top twenty albums
of all time.  I've played it (at least side 1) hundreds of times.  
"Mad Hatter's Song," pretentious as it is, still knocks me out.  My
kids love the album, too. 

But why do you say "consider what else was around in 1967"?  That was
one of the greatest years ever for music!

Now an ISB question.  I once saw them, and Mike Heron sang a
bewitching song called (I believe) "Turquoise Blue."  I have never
seen this listed on any ISB album, and wonder if anyone else has.
If so, could you tell me where to find it?

	I'm curious as to where you got this "standardized" pronunciation. 
Mi/chea/l O'Siadhail in his book LEARNING IRISH and the dictionary, FOCLO/IR
PO/CA, give for the pronunciation of the 'ao' in daoine the international
symbol i:, which is most closely approximated by the e in me (English).  The
former is Conamara dialect but the other is by its own admission "the first
dictionary of Irish to contain a comprehensive guide to pronunciation".  The
Institiu/id Teangeolai/ochta E/ireann got together a committee for the job and
they promptly put the work off on a subcommittee.  At any rate they finally
agreed on a "neutral" or "core" pronunciation, which is then about as stand-
ardized as you can get, or so it would seem to mi: .

Yeah, unfortunately I have done this.  I just don't like tapes, for all
the reasons cited by other posters.  There's just too many other things
to spend your music money on and tapes just can't compete (just for me,
that is!).

I am in a duo who is in the same position as you describe.  One big reason
we have decided to go the CD route is that if you hope to get and radio
airplay at all there are lot's of stations that won't play it if it's not
on CD.  When you're trying to convince them to play your songs it helps
to make it as convienient for them as possible, or so I've been told.

Good luck!

i don't have the book with me, but Robert Silverberg wrote a book called
 _Tom o'Bedlam_ (a decent post-holocaust sci-fi sort of book) which has the
song written out verse by verse before eash section (about a verse a section). 
It is a different version than the other that I've seen, so if you care, check
out a bookstore.
