I absolutely agree: the playing of Tommy Peoples was outstanding. I particularly
like him in the Laird of Drumblaire/Hector the hero.

Well, since you asked, I'll give you one that my wife (Carly Gewirz) and I  
wrote several years ago. I suppose it is a little dated by the last verse,  
but it's still a pretty good parody. It's to the tune of Waltz Across  
Texas by Earnest Tubb.

I've paid all my taxes each year they've come due,
Yearly they're due it is true,
But when big corporations pay nothing at all,
Think I'll falsify taxes with you.

Chorus:

I could falsify taxes with you, any day,
Falsify taxes with you.
With some storybook figures, I's lead them astray.
I could falsify taxes with you.

I've never had money enough to invest
In a real estate shelter or two,
But to pay for this shelter that's over our head,
Have to falsify taxes with you.

Chorus

It's for you, Ronald Reagan, we've written this verse,
You changed the tax law, it is true.
Tax simplification just made things get worse,
Have to falsify taxes like you.

Chorus

There's certainly a lot of it done in Japan ... Sandy Rothman "tortured" :-)
us recently on a local radio show with some selections ... sounded ok
to me but I heard some were up in arms about it.

I would've thot Ireland would be a natural bluegrass heaven.  Just
think, the common background of the music, the fiddle tunes, jigs &
reels, string bands, hi tenor male singing &c.  There's a lot of
old-time American music from the early string bands, still covered by
some bluegrass bands, that clearly passed thru Ellis Is. or slipped
thru customs somehow, from Ireland & Scotland.  We've even got a lot of
the same themes -- murder, unfaithful love, horse racing, liquor,
movin' on, prison, &c.  And American country-western, Nashville style,
is raging popular in Ireland & has been for years.  But I don't think
I've ever heard much about bluegrass music in Ireland.  So what's going
on?

If I could, I would include the note I am referring to, but
I am not on the net, exactly.  Anyway, the guy from Australia
was probably referring to the _first_ album Frankie and
Maire/ad did together for Gael-Linn called "Ceol Adaodh" or
something to that effect.  It is excellent, but hard to find
in the States.  If you're in Dublin, check out the Claddagh

Hard to tell these days  9-)

Definitely not the synthesized "space music" you hear on the 
radio, but they are long pieces and not folkish. She plays Celtic 
herp unlike Vollenweider. The poetry that comes with the CDs are
definitely Celtish in flavor (This was "Secrets from the Stone").
I'd say a little more new agish compared to, say, Dalgliesh, or
Sylvia Woods.

Altan so far has 4 albums out:

Altan (before the official name of the group: then it was just the name
of the   
   album)
Horse with a Heart (my personal favorite, with a nice blend of soaring Gaelic 
  songs, foot-tapping Gaelic songs, and instrumental reels/highlands/jigs/etc.)
The Red Crow 
Harvest Storm

I would most highly recommend Horse with a Heart, and either the Red
Crow or Harvest Storm.  On the second two albums, I kind of felt that
they were very highly focused on the Donegal style fiddling, which is
good, but can almost sound repetitious.  Horse with a Heart has more
variety, and complements the later albums nicely.

Don't know any "unprintables" meself, although someone else might; this one was
discussed ad infinitum a few months ago.  Check the _Folksinger's Wordbook_ - I
think it's still in print - for a longer version.  Possibly also in _Rise Up

Last week I posted a note to the effect that a PBS producer of musical
specials stated that he had never heard of Oscar Brand.  I received one
comment via private e-mail.


'Yes, Who is Oscar Brand?
And what was your question?'


Since discussion groups are for education as well as discussion,

Oscar Brand: (From his biographical information)

More than 80 albums of folk and children's music recorded.
75 documentary films.
Member of advisory panel that created 'Sesame Street.'
Music Director for NPR flagship station WNYC, host of 'Folksong Festival,'
  broadcast weekly since 1945. (Nation's oldest continuing radio show)
Curator of Songwriters' Hall of Fame.
Musical consultant to NET.
Host of more than 20 network radio shows and 8 network TV shows.
Co-organizer of Nassau Folk Festival, Nassau Community College, L.I.
Composer of classic Canadian anthem 'Something to Sing About.'
Appeared with performers ranging from Huddie Ledbetter (Leadbelly) to
 Harry Chapin.

There was no question, just wondering how the folk music community might
react to PBS's apparent lack of knowledge about one of the genre's more
enduring personalities.

Hope this has answered YOUR question.

The Ohio Scottish Games will be held principally on Saturday, June 27
from 8:30 AM till 6 PM at Oberlin College, Oberlin OH.

A new pipe band contest has been added with an "open" designation, for
bands at the Grade II and Grade I levels.  The organizers tell me that
several Canadian Grade I (or world-class) bands have expressed interest;
so far including St. Thomas, Clan MacFarlane, Toronto & District and 
Toronto Metro Police.

Anyone who enjoys such music and hasn't heard this calibre of band up
close should try to attend this or a similar event.  Ohio has so far
drawn modest sized crowds, so it should be easy to approach fairly
close to these bands during their extensive warmup routines, subject
to obvious precautions about courtesy and distractions.  This is one
of the grandest sounds in folk or traditional music, and even your
favorite CD's can't equal the real thing.

Other stuff includes Scottish fiddle & harp, for the bagpipe-oppressed
in a closed air-conditioned building near the main gate (!); concert/
ceilidh events Friday and Saturday evenings; Scottish field athletics;
the usual booths, clan tents and genealogy activities; solo piping and
drumming contests in the morning, Highland dance contests under an open-
air roof all day; and a reasonably brief mid-day ceremony including the
pipe bands and standard miscellany.

Admission is $5 in advance, $7 at the gate; w/ breakdowns for senior
citizens and children.

  Hi all, this is something I post from time to time in alt.guitar, but
I figured I'd post it here once for the benefit of those who don't read
(or who don't have access to) alt.guitar.  I've copied a lot of Indigo
Girls guitar music into text files that I can send over the net, and I'd
be happy to send music to whoever wants it.  All the songs I've done so
far have the complete chords, and many have tablature.  Mail me if you
want some music or more info...

   Again, all songs on my list have chords, and I can send you the lyrics for
ANY Indigo Girls song you want (including some songs you've probably never
heard), even if it's not on this list.
   Just send me a note telling me which music and which lyrics you want, and
if I've sent you stuff before, don't just tell me, "send me your new stuff,"
because zillions of people have written to me, and I won't know what you mean
by "new."
   NOTE: Almost all of this tab is copied straight from the songbooks, so if
you already have the books, don't bother.  If you _don't_ already have the 
books, I'd recommend them; they're lots o' fun.

   Okay, here's the current E-mailable tab/chords list:
   * Blood and Fire (no tab)
   * Closer to Fine (tab: intro)
   * Crazy Game (no tab, but I have the chords in an easier key if you request)
   * The Girl with the Weight of the World in Her Hands (tab: FULL)
   * Hammer and a Nail (tab: intro, ending)
   * Kid Fears (tab: 12 notes!!!!!)
   * Love's Recovery (no tab)
   * Secure Yourself (tab: 2 measures!!!)
   * Southland in the Springtime (tab: intro, part of verse)
   * Watershed (tab: intro, part of verse)
   * Welcome Me (tab: FULL)
   * World Falls (tab: intro/verse, sorta tab for the bridge)
   And, new since my last posting in alt.guitar:
   * Hand Me Downs (tab: intro)
   * You and Me of the 10,000 Wars (tab: intro, part of verse)

   And I'm still taking requests, if there's a song you're just DYING to

Hello, does anyone remember the late great Tom Rapp, main musician behind
Pearls Before Swine?  The music is not at all fashionable now -- for me
it sometimes leaves the impression of decaying flowers, and the lyrics are
sometimes sophomoric -- but I think that the time will come when he'll be
recognized as one of the greats of (sometimes psychedelic) folk rock.

Anyhow -- here's a question -- a long shot that anyone would know -- 
but there's a solo LP called Tom Rapp (the LP label calls it "Familiar Tunes")
in which TR rearranged some Pearls songs and does some other ones.  I've been
listening to it a bunch lately.  The lead guitarist is not very good at all,
but the piano work is gorgeous.  Who was playing piano?  Has she/he recorded
elsewhere?  Thanks.

Hard Times
Stephen Foster

while we seek mirth and beauty
and music bright and gay
there are frail forms praying at the door
tho their voices are silent
their pleading looks will say
Hard Times  come again no more

chorus:
there's a song, a sigh of the weary
hard time hard times  come again no more
many days you have lingered around my cabin door
hard times come again no more

let us pause in life's pleasures
and count it's many tears
while we all sup sorrow with the poor
there is a song that will linger forever in our ears
oh hard times come again no more

Well, I can't say as I'm any kind of authority, but the way I heard the 
story was that she was a volunteer at the Kerrville Folk Fest a few years
back and was sitting around a campfire after one of the days events 
playing her songs when an English producer heard her.  He brought over
his portable recorder (I never heard what kind it was), made an on-the-spot
recording and took it back to England with him.  He made a record out of
it that became somewhat of a hit in England which caused the US record
companies to sit up and take notice.  After that the rest, as they say,
is history.

Truth, fiction, or urban legend????? You be the judge!

Further comments from someone who actually knows what they are talking
about would probably be a relief....

It is indeed called "School Day's Over."  Like so many other great songs, 
it was written by the late Ewan McColl.  You can probably find it on one 
of his records.  It is also included (with the lyrics) on a wonderful 
album by the Short Sisters called A LITTLE GRACEFULNESS (available from 
Black Socks Records and, I think, through Folk Legacy).
