Here's the latest version of my radio list. As usual, additions and 
corrections are welcome.  I have stopped listing stations that I can't
receive (like KUSP & KKUP) since it's too difficult to keep up with
changes.

Unfortunately, the changes from the previous list are for the worse - this
list is getting shorter. I especially miss the broadcast of
Thistle & Shamrock on KCSM on Sunday morning (which I found a
much more convenient time than KALW's Sat 3pm).

Re David Lewis' request for "Barbeque" -- it's on the new album by the
Red Clay Ramblers, "Rambler" (on Sugar Hill).  A great record.  It's been
way too long since they made a new record but that was worth the wait.

Does anyone know of any tunes that use the Locrian mode?
(Locrian is B C D E F G A B or C Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C)
Anytime I've seen this mode mentioned in books the author always said
something
like "this mode has never been much more than a theoretical possibility".

He also writes:

Also, lots of Scottish bagpipe music.  The drone key on Highland bagpipes
is in
Mixolydian mode.

Summary: Restless Nights

> I like her first album (recommended by someone

I also like her first album (_Karla_Bonoff_).  It has two or three of her
songs that Linda Ronstadt covered, and has one of my favorite "End-of-
relationship" songs -- "I Can't Hold On".  Also a good song that Bonnie
Raitt did a version of (but I forget the title, even though I remember
most of the words). It's a good one to sing while driving home.

    Travelin' at night -- the headlights were bright,
    And we'd been up many an hour.
    When all through my brain came the refrain of home and its warming fire.

    And home songs me of sweet things
    My life  there has its own wings 
    to fly over the mountain -- though I'm standing still.

Or something like that.

_Restless_Nights_ -- in addition to that great version, the title track
is another favorite of mine, as well as "Never Stop Her Heart".   I also
agree that this is her strongest album so far.

> Her later album(s) didn't do as much for me -- too much pop, e.g. the hit

The only other one I've heard of is _Wild_Heart_of_the_Young_.  Had a song
or two I liked, but I don't remember what they were.

	I can sense right now that this is going to be a stupid thread of
unthoughtful flame-hurling and that I later am going to regret not having
put it immediately in my kill file instead of participating in it.
  
	But, since I'm obviously not listening to my better judgement, I'd
just like to point out the absurdity of talking about "typical new age music."
It's like talking about "typical rock music," "typical classical music," or 
"typical folk music."  You're taking a broad, eclectic, and extremely diverse 
(not to mention artificial) category and trying to normalize it--  to say
that there are a few things that "typify" it.  Sometimes, this works fairly
well, but with the case of music that is called "new age", such an attempt
at normalization is likely to fall flat on its face--  primarily because
there are so many different sorts of things that fall into that category.

	Sure, there is the really light, ethereal "air pudding" type of
new age music, but there is a _whole lot_ of different stuff out there that
is also considered part of the broad category "new age":  the Chopin-like 
piano compositions of George Winston, the progressive rock of Mike Oldfield, 
the world-beat fusion of Do'ah, the mellow synth-rock of Enya, etc. etc.  

	My guess is that what the above poster really meant was not "typical"
new age music, but "stereotypical" new age music.  And it's true, the 
stereotype of new age music is that of the innocuously boring "air pudding"
background music.  It's good for laughs, of course, but the fact of the matter
is that that stereotype is about as accurate as the stereotype of folk music 
as something produced by overgrown hippies and potheads to whom nothing could 
be more fun than singing fifty choruses of "Puff the Magic Dragon" or 
"If I Had a Hammer."  Sounds about as exciting as Boopsie's "Air Pudding,"
doesn't it?  Musical stereotypes are no more accurate, truthful, or fair
as a means of judging music than racial stereotypes are of judging people.

	I'd like to suggest that people remember that rec.music.folk is 
for the (more or less serious) discussion of _folk music_ and that comments 
based on stereotypes of other genres of music be shifted over to rec.humor, 
alt.flame, or alt.stereotypes or some other newsgroup on which they would be 
more appropriate.  I won't bother suggesting it though, since I suspect no-one
would really listen.

Thanks! Hmmm, I don't think I've ever heard any Norwegian songs. With
all the seas and mountains and months of dark weather .... I'd bet
they have some good ones!

  I like the first version of the Silkie song better. Singing that the
silkie and son were killed makes it a simple tragedy. Singing it as a 
prophecy, that he knows he will be killed and she beleives him, makes
it a cry against Fate, I think. I picture her singing after the Silkie
and her son have swum out to sea, perhaps sitting on a rock way out on
a point of land, perhaps unwilling to return to shore and meet the man
who waits for her there....
  I guess that's why the song stays in my head. It is so simple and so
stark.... 
  Also, the song figured in the James Michener book "The Drifters,"
which is a novel about six different young people travelling through
Europe in the Sixties. One of the characters is a Norwegian seeking
sunlight, one is an American singer of the Child ballads, one is a
Californian draft dodger, one a radical Black from inner-city
Pittsburgh, one a spoilt  African daughter of a British colonial, and
the last a hero of the six-day war who has to choose between Israeli
and American citizenship. They end up travelling to Pamplona and to 
Marrakesh in a VW "pop-top" camper. Oh, and the "narrator," a Swiss
businessman who sees all six from a tower of finance and traditional
work-ethics....it is an interesting story.  Not a "great" book, but
the characters and the songs did stay with me.

Yes!  While I'd say my feelings about Ashes and Diamonds are stronger than
lukewarm, I seem to match your tase in June Tabor material farily closely,
and her album with Martin Simpson is probably my favorite of them all.  I'd
highly recommend it.  Another favorite of mine, which may be impossible to
find these days is a 12" EP (45rmp) with 4 songs by June done live on the
air for the John Peel Show on Raido One.  On it are Lord Bateman, The Banks
of the Sweet Dundee (and are my favorite two on the disk), Joni Mitchell's
The Fiddle and the Drum, and Donal Og.  All 4 are done a capella. (Oh, and
for you who insist on full information, it's on Strange Fruit records

The latest Sing Out! has "Anne Boleyn" (aka "With Her Head Tucked
Underneath Her Arm") in it. The penultimate line is given as

  "For how the sweet san fairy Anne do I know who you are"

Two questions:

(1) Is this accurate?

(2) If so, what the sweet san fairy is "the sweet san fairy"? Is it
anything like a laylum?

Looking for words and chords to a song -- the title was something
like "Fair Flower of Northumberland", and the tag line on each
chorus was a minor variant of "and you're still the fair flower
of Northumberland."  The story was that some handsome chieftan was
captured but convinces the local noblemans daughter to free him.
Has a nice pair of surprises at the end, neither of which I'll
reveal here.  Ring any bells?  I've never heard it on record or
radio, but the person who sang it claimed it was "traditional".
I'd ask her myself, but haven't seen her in a decade or so.
