I am sick of songs about "the greenwood tree."  I must have counted -- what?
-- TWO with mentions of them in _Rise Up Singing_.  I think it MUST be time
for an equally sick song, eh?

On the first day of summer camp my counselor said to me,
cut down the greenwood tree.

On the (nth) day of summer camp my counselor said to kill
eleven forest rangers,
ten desert vultures,
nine mating condors,
eight dancing black bears,
seven flying fish,
six humpback whales,
five golden eagles,
four horned toads,
three snail darters,
two spotted owls,
and cut down the greenwood tree.

On the twelfth day of summer camp the local jail arraigned
twelve campers for killing 
eleven forest rangers,
ten desert vultures,
nine mating condors,
eight dancing black bears,
seven flying fish,
six humpback whales,
five golden eagles,
four horned toads,
three snail darters,
two spotted owls,
and cutting down the greenwood tree.

Try "Silent Running" by Mike and the Mechanics. (The video is pretty poor).
It belongs right up there with some of Leslie's "teaching songs". This one
deals with living *through* the breakdown. It's a nice song... until you
*listen* to it. Brrr....

You want D&D background music? Here's the tape *I* used to use:

Theme from M*A*S*H (movie version: ie with the words... :-)
        (aka "Suicide is Painless")
Lykewake Dirge (Pentangle)
The wicked Witch's Guard March (from the Wizard of Oz) ("Yodi-O! Yo-Oh!...)
        (anybody know if I can get a recording of this *without* Dorothy and
         company talking over the top of it?)
Then some stuff from Rankine-Bass' production of "The Return of the King"
It turns out that if you paste the fragments together, all the songs *work*.
"Where there's a Whip"
"Win the Battle, Lose the War..."
"The Wearer of the Ring..." (complete with Frodo's "If you touch me ever
again, you will be cast yourself into the Crack of Doom!"

Can you guess what mood the players were in after all this? :-)

BTW, is there such a thing as a "soundtrack album" for that Rankine Bass
thing? I had to record off of a videotape).

Hopefully this isn't too off topic. :-)

Actually, does anyone remember the octet combining "Goodnight, Ladies" and
"Pick a Little, Talk a Little" from _The Music Man_?  I think "Hare Krishna"
would fit in with "Goodnight Ladies," and the other half could go

"Talk a Little, try to peddle,

To find Andy Brekman's version of Railroad Bill (not the original folk
song, but the wonderful song about the character who argues with the
songwriter), find someone who subscribes to SING OUT! magazine.  It
appeared about 2 or 3 issues ago...the one with Gordon Bok on the cover,
I think.  Or you can buy it as a back issue from SING OUT!  Let me
know if you need the address.

p.s.  ANdy has an album out called "Don't Get Killed!"  GOod advice 
for all of us.

Naah, it would have to be "Per-child-sa".

Hi Folks!, I already posted a note about the FidoCon that coming up here in
Dallas in a few weeks. I'd like to organize a filksing if anyone besides me a
nd Dr. Bill are interested. Is anyone from this echo going to be able to make
it??
