              Odin Loves The Little Vikings
                Tune: Jesus Loves the Little Children


         Odin loves the little Vikings
         All the Vikings of the world
         Whether drunk on ale or mead
         In a boat or on a steed
         Odin loves the little Vikings of the world.

         Odin loves the little Vikings
         All the Vikings of the world
         If you're drunk and thrown in jail
         Odin - and your axe! - are bail
         Odin loves the little Vikings of the world.

         Odin loves the little Vikings
         All the Vikings of the world
         Offer up an ox or two
         And he'll be in debt to you.
         Odin loves the little Vikings of the world.

However, since he does "sometimes play some filk", maybe he should be
noted as such -- unless the "sometimes plays some filk" list would
be all that much larger, and I don't think it would be.

This looks suspiciously like the tune is one of those old gospel songs or

that it scans to, but I've got no name for it!

I'll be certain to look it up...a phrase which, incidentally, was often
represented in Morocco during the height of Muslim civilization by certain
characters which directly translate into "lut" in English. A farcical
coincidence, to say the least. Further research into ancient Muslim records
indicate that the Library of Alexandria might have been accidentally set afire
when a local filker, armed with a primitive lute, played so fast his callouses
caught fire. As the tale goes, he panicked and began waving that burning hand
about with wild abandon, amid all those dry, musty tomes...thus, "lute" has
come to be known as a vile curse amongst Australian aborigine pygmies who
believe they might be able to trace their ancestry back to Norse ghods if only
the records (including a long-playing 33 1/3) had survived the conflagration.

Doesn't seem all that hard to me; you just have to add a few syllables:

I haven't seen any specific info on it yet, but FilKONtario III should be in
Toronto sometime in April of '93.  As of the FilKONtario II program book,
Michael Longcor (A.K.A. Moonwulf) was tentatively to be GoH.  If I don't hear 
anything fairly soon, I'll probably zap a note off to the organizers.

I've had a LOT of fun at this con, both I and II, and intend to get to III if

JAEJ>I know the sylabification stinks, but it just goes to show you CAN sing

Actually, I thought about the hymn for a while, and I was wrong about
the meter:

A-LAS, my LOVE, you  DO me WRONG,
  ON-ward CHRIS-tian SOL-  DIERS

to TREAT me SO dis-COURT-eous-LY,
   MARCH-ing AS to WAR-       RRRR, (und so weiter)

The metrical feet in "Onward Christian Soldiers" aren't iambs (as they
are in "Greensleeves"), and sometimes you have to let a single syllable
serve as two feet ("War", for instance, in the second line), but it does
have the four feet per line meter, and can be forced to fit.

The blues are more difficult, beting pentameter, and although they are
sung to an 8-bar line, that's done with a lot of rests.

Did you know that you can sing "Greensleeves" to Johan Strauss, Jr.'s
"Blue Danube Waltz?", too?

It's called "Stone Dance" on the Chickasaw Mountain tape.  The first line is
the same as the original ("On a hill far away") but it changes shortly
thereafter (and I don't recall it precisely.)  The chorus is IMHO
unforgettable:

"So we'll dance round the stone menhir ring
Til the flames of the fire have died down.
We'll emote, slit a goat's throat and sing
Then get dressed and drive back into town..."

Speaking of filksongs set to the tune of Waltzing Matilda...

I'm looking for the words to a song called "You Fight the Balrog" set to 
that particular tune.  If anyone has it, E-Mail me or post it, please???

Anyone out there running a BBS that will handle QWK-mail?  It's a bloody pain 
to have to spend all this time online when there's a better way.

I'm not sure what I'll use yet - probably get a copy of Jane's "Filking 101"
to use to start with, plus I'm going thru my entire filk collection to see
what I can play and use for not only "teaching" purposes, but to bring new
stuff to OOtah for the filking there.
 
Who knows?  If I'm lucky enough, maybe I can convert some LDS to filkers!

Difference between a lute and an arch-lute......ha! Well.....a lute has
about 15 to 17 strings, strung in pairs except thefirst string, whichis
usually single for clarity's sake....the arch-lute, also called
theorbo, is essentially the same, but with a mess of extra bass pairs
tuned from an extra pegbox usually set above the regular peg box
(peghead).....my lute has 15 strings, my arch-lute has 27....I might
bring the lute to ConChord, butthe arch-lute very seldom leaves the
house, and certainly not for road trips.....it's too fragile. It's an
-exact- copy of one made in 1639, and valued at several thousand
dollars.....so muchso that I made a case for it that is waterproof,
locks shut, and can be stood on.....butI still won;t take it on the
road. I very seldom even take it to SCA functions, but I delight in
recording with it! And playing it in the still small hours of the
morning...as a matter of fact, I just putit away and logged onto the
local MENSA board, and spotted this message....!!!
  
Re-reading Peter S Beagle's _Folk of the Air_ also....and nursing a
one-day old abandoned kitten.....busy night, and feeling a little fey
indeed. La! Back to the lute for another hour of delight! Dowland is
a challenge indeed......then feed the little screamer of a kitten, and
fall into bed.

Return it to DAG and Eric will replace it. He'll be at WorldCon; look for DAG 
in the dealer's room.
