It has no title - that is, it's eponymous. However, it's often
referred to as "Song To A Seagull", because those words are 
written on the cover. They're not the title, though, it's simply
called "Joni Mitchell".

It's also available on a brand-new release of Roy Orbison's,
comprising mostly songs he was working on at the time of his
death. Can't remember the title, though - sorry.

Subject: Simple Banjo Questions

Hi --- I'm a 3-year guitar veteran who's almost certainly going to be
purchasing a banjo over Christmas break and learning it.  Alas, all
I really know about them at this point isn't much; I've read a really
neat 1940s book on playing the banjo that Pete Seeger did and some
cultural history of the banjo.  [Apparantly, CMU's library is banjo-
impoverished. ;-]

Still being clueless about the banjo as well as being curious as a kitten,
would anyone mind telling me...

1. What are the respective advantages/disadvantages of a tenor banjo
over a 5-string banjo?  Is one of the twain more popular for certain
styles of music?  [I have a strong interest in doing folk, and that's
about it. ;-]

2. My only experience with a banjo has been a few minutes of fooling around
with one at the MD _House of Musical Traditions_ and falling in love;
stylistically, how much of what I do on the guitar can I use/rip off
and use well on the banjo?  For the most part, I do either generic
fingerpicking/ornamentation or Leadbelly playing at the moment.

3. Do people who seem to find the guitar as a "natural" instrument (i.e.
the instrument just flat out teaches _itself_ with maybe an hour of
lessons every year or so) tend to find the banjo to be likewise?

Thanks in advance; I apologize for my state of banjo-ignorance, which I
hope to alleviate over December vacation...! ;-)

Sorry about the late notice, but I just found out that the Voice of
America will carry the Bruce Cockburn Christmas special.  This means
that some of you outside of North America will also get a chance to hear
it.  I don't know anything about when it will be broadcast where or anything
but it will be performed live this Sunday, Dec 20 at 11:00 AMeastern time.

Here is the article I distributed to North America earlier this week ...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bruce Cockburn will be giving another special Christmas concert this year.  
Guest artists will include Lou Reed, Roseanne Cash, and Rob Wasserman.

It will be held on Dec 20th at 11:00 AM EST from the Howard Schwarts studio
in New York City.  It will be broadcast via satellite to hundreds of radio
stations across the U.S. and Canada.  Check with your local radio stations
to see which ones are carrying it.  Generally, it will be one of the bigger
commercial stations instead of the smaller PBS stations.  The list includes:

	WNEW	New York City
	KFOG	San Francisco
	WBCN	Boston
	KMTT	Seattle
	WMMR	Philadelphia

If no stations are carrying the show, you can call one and ask to speak
to the program director (if he/she isn't available, then you might settle
for the music director.)  Tell them about the show, and ask them to contact
Josh Rosenthal at Columbia in New York City (they should know how to contact
him) to see if they can carry it.  If all else fails, join the humans mailing
list, someone will probably make copies available. :^)

Incidentally, four more of Bruce's albums will be released on CD in Feb.

Hi,

I bought a copy of Ray Fisher's CD "Traditional Songs of Scotland"
(Saydisc CD-SDL 391) from her when she and her brother and sister came
through New England a few months ago, and it was absolutely wonderful.
Ray has always been one of my favorite singers. Now, however, I wish I
had another copy to give to a friend who I think would also like it,
and I've discovered it isn't an easy recording to get in this part of
the world. So, does anyone out there know of a source which would have
a copy for sale, that would be faster than trying to order it from
Saydisc, in England? Any help would be appreciated. And to anyone who
hasn't heard Ray, I give her my highest recommendation. Her voice isn't
as "pretty" as some, but I don't think singing comes much better than
this. (In my own opinion, of course.)

Where you can look is England. They have not been re-released on
CD in the US although there are rumors that the best of their
albums -- Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, Wee Tam, Big Huge -- are
soon going to be. Alot of us think Elektra are fools not to know

Hmm, obviously there's some controversy here.  I've always thought it
was "For to hunt, tent, and beg".  That is, to do the stuff the narrator
did before he joined the military: carry his pack, live the free life
of a rover, and generally waltz his Matilda.

The song to which you are referring is Eric Bogle's "The Band Played
Waltzing Matilda," one of the best.  He quotes the older Australian
song, "Waltzing Matilda." Which (when I learned it, anyway) is NOT
in waltz time! 
	Bogle tours every now and again and is well worth experiencing live.
	He has written a bunch of other great songs, among which "Willie
McBryde," another antiwar song.

Before this goes much farther, the tune that Joan Baez and everyone else (it

the arrangement copyrighted for him by Folk-Legacy Records: another case
of the creation galloping away from the artist, leaving him behind in the dust.

well they've already been posted recently (a couple of times)

also I wouldn't really call it a spoof... "And the band..." is really
a moving song, esp for those in the military like myself.  It also helps
that I know what happened at Gallipoli and to hear it from a another
view point (someone who was there) is nice... I love the song...
Personally I like the Pogues version best... Shane has a nice voice,
at least for this song. =)

And Jon included several other interpretations.  Well, to throw another
iron in the fire my recollection of the line is:

"For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs both legs."

"Humping" is a colloquial verb for backpacking.  [Yes, I know, other things
as well...]

And just to nitpick, I've seen a number of beggars shy a leg or two Jon.
Why on Earth would you need both legs to beg?

Dave Kendall is on tour right now.  If you saw the time he was hosting

He DJs or something.  I don't think he lost his slot, I think he is
