Sarah Elizabeth Campbell is an "irregular" performer at the Strawberry
Folk Festival held in CA on Memorial Day and Labor Day. I'm in search
of a tape of hers which contains a song called "Long Boat to China"
(?). 

Does anyone know the name of the tape that includes this song and what
label it's produced under? I'd like to order it. If you do, please
e-mail me the information at the address below as I don't normally
read this group.

Thanks.

I've really enjoyed "When October Falls" (I may have that wrong).
It's a compilation of lots of artists singing about fallish
things.  People like: Cheryl Wheeler, Sally Fingerett, Judy Gold, etc.
(they're all "modern" folk-singers).  It's available on Rounder.

Enya's music is quite nice for background quiet stuff, though many on 
this group seem to "poo-poo" her as being too new-agish or electronic
or whatever.  You might like her, you might not.    

I've also enjoyed "The Celtic Harp" (or something close to that, anyway)
by Patrick Ball.  All traditional pieces played by a solo harp--quite
soothing.  

My favorite soothing music, however, is not folk.  It's early accapella
choir music by various people sung by the *Tallis Scholars*.  It's amazing
how pure and soothing twelve people's voices singing in a cathedral can
be.  Look in the classical section for cd's by the Tallis Scholars.  I
recommend the ones featuring music by "Clemens non Papa" and Victorio (?).

Oh, and David Wilcox's stuff (either of his cd's--another modern folk-
singer) is mostly quiet, though some of the songs are quite sad.  :(

Hope this helps,

I play tin whistle in a couple of sessions in West London ;-

White Horse, London Rd, Kingston.   Sunday nights, a bit Irish, but a
lot of singing (and will probably die out soon).

Red Cow, Richmond. Sunday nights, Irish and some American, not many
people at that one.

Railway Tavern, Hampton Wick. Irish. A fair few people go to this one
(or used to; I haven't been for a while due to lack of transport).

Also, there are reputedly lots of session in North london. Fiddlers
Elbow in Archway is one I've been to (I think it was a Saturday, but I
think they have something on there on other nights too). Also Ron
Kavaner runs a session in the Amersham arms. Don't know where or when,
but if you look in the listing mag Time Out it has details.

I would be thrilled to here of other sessions in London, particularly
West London.

Was anybody else as annoyed as I was by the scene where there's a dance
going in on the background, and there's fiddle music by MacLean on
the soundtrack, but the dancers were obviously dancing to a completely
different tune?  Made me crazy.  With all the exquisite attention to
detail that went into the weapons, the uniforms, the explosions, the
hair styles, etc. etc., you'd think they could have gotten that one
minor detail right.

Actually, I quite liked the movie, although I couldn't help noticing that
they never revealed what exactly a "Mohican" is, or who was the last of
them, or why he or she was that, or why I should care one way or another.
I realize that this was crystal-clear to those who had read the novel
or the Classics Illustrated comic book, but I don't really think that
should be a prerequisite.

(sorry to post, my mailer couldn't get to you)

FM, actually, is transmitted between channels 6 and 7.  You might be
able to fiddle with the pots there, and get FM on your TV/VCR.  There's
an easier way, however.

First, it doesn't sound like you have a hifi stereo vcr, which means
you're going to lose a lot of quality as well as the stereo when you
do this.  If that doesn't bother you, read on.

Your stereo must have an 'audio out' jack.  Actually, two, one for each
channel.  They're probably labelled for tape out, but you may have a spare
set (aux out), or a set for an equalizer.  Your vcr almost definitely has
audio/video input jack(s).  If it's a mono vcr, you'll run a cable from
either the left or right audio out jack to the vcr audio in jack, and
set your tuner to mono.  If it's stereo, run a pair of cables.

Set you vcr to 'aux in' or 'video in' (vs. tuner in), and you should get
the fm sound on your tv, altho without a picture.  You can then copy the
vcr tape back to an audio tape at your leisure by connecting the vcr 'audio
out' to your amplifier's 'audio in'.

Keep in mind that, of course, you can't change fm stations.  If you need
to tape something from two different stations while you're gone, you're SOL.

On a different tack:

Many tape recorders have a mode where they can be set to start recording
when power comes on.  You use a regular timer to turn on the tape deck
and it will record.  There are also dual recording decks with this feature,
so you can tape 3 hours (on 90 minute tapes), or 4 hours (on two 120 minute
tapes).

I've used both these methods with good success.  But I have a hifi stereo
vcr B-).

I'll let someone who is more of a modern Gaelic expert than me answer
the first question, but I think I can handle the second.  The reason
there are different masculine and feminine forms of the surname is this.

`O/ Braona/in' is a patronymic surname and means `Braona/n's grandson'.
(I'm using `/' to indicate an acute accent over the preceeding vowel.)
`O/' developed from Middle Irish and early modern Irish `Ua' which in
turn comes from Old Irish `aue'.  This word meaning `grandson' would not
be appropriate for women, so a word of the correct gender would be used.
When surnames indicated an exact relationship (son or grandson, as
opposed to descendant), the feminine word was `inghean' (or actually the
Old Irish/early Middle Irish form `ingen') meaning `daughter'.  So the
surname for a woman would be `Inghean Bhraona/in' (using the modern
form) meaning `Braona/n's daughter'.

When surnames became hereditary, the whole surname came to be used as a
unit.  So the practice developed of using a surname for woman meaning
something like `O/ Braona/in's daughter', which in Gaelic would be
`Inghean Ui/ Bhraonain'.  `Ui/' is the possessive (and the plural) of
`O/'.  Over time `Inghean Ui/' was contracted to `Ni/', which was then
used as the feminine form of `O/'.  The reason the `B' changes to `Bh'
is because feminine singulars, and masculine possessives and plurals,
cause the first consonant of a following word to be lenited (or
aspirated) if appropriate.  The appropriate consonants are `t p c d b g
m f s'.  So `Ni/', whether it's considered a feminine or a masculine
possessive, causes this aspiration.

When I was growing up, I had (from somewhere, maybe it was actually bought

were cuts of the music from the rides interspersed with voice-over and
