Horribly glib answer, but...
Work out the melody on the top strings (fingering it around the chords) 
Then it's just a matter of noting where the notes of the melody fall in 
the right hand pattern, and making sure that the correct finger is hitting the 
correct string at that point. Basically, you'll find that every now and then 
you have to shift your right hand pattern across a string, or possibly change
a ring/middle/index pick to ring/middle/ring or middle/index/middle. Remember
also that the HIGHEST note on a twelve string is the octave G - sometime that 
can help in picking out melodies.

It's one of those things I just *DO* instincively now, and it's hard to 
explain.

Sorry, but I don't think the tune is "Volga Boatman", after all... at least, for
any permutation of THESE sets of lyrics. The only part that comes anywhere
NEAR to scanning is the "Happy Birthday <<stomp>>"... and with the "Volga Boatman"
melody, that would be the _first_ two lines, an intermediate single line, then
again on the last. The "words" for "Volga" that I remember, from an old 
(no comments from the peanut gallery!!) beginning piano book are:

"Yo-ho heave ho.
 Yo-ho heave ho.
 Pull to-geth-er...
 Yo-ho heave ho."

The original Russian is obviously different, but I still don't see any way to 
cram the above lyrics comfortably into this kind of metric construction.

Oh well... It's a nice THOUGHT, though!

greeting dementions and dementiods,  here it is, ANOTHER update of the 
infamous Radio Log.  Please note the section on area codes that don't
carry the doctor.  There is currently no 800/900 number for the doctor.
Please let me know if one surfaces and i will add to the list.
also let me know if there are changes and what stations are involved.

new syndicator for the show:  "On the Radio Productions"  they are
definitely charging a fee for the show now, so stations may be reluctant
to pick it up.

The tune is "Volga Boatmen".  There are SEVERAL varients and
additional lyrics ... the ones *I* know are

Now you've lived another year
Now you know that Death is near
But Happy Birthday <stomp> Happy Birthday <stomp>

Children dying everywhere

Subject: Kathy Mar Songbook?

Kathy Mar is actually having two songbooks coming out from Wail Songs.
This is because Kathy requested that none of her songs be omitted, and thus,
since she's written a lot of them, well...two books are needed.

Currently, Wail Songs is producing a songbook a year with Harpy.  Clif's
book is due probably early '93.  Kathy's book should probably be out by
1994, with the second one in 1995.  This is, BTW, worst case timing.

There will probably be a few additional books coming out from them now that I'vestuck my nose in and felt like producing a them... ;-)

Wa-hooo!
        Good day to you!  This is a roundabout way yo find things, but I was
reading the filk echo on Steppes and found a message about "you bash the
ballrog.  I would be gretaly interested in the lyrics, as well as the magazine 
"filker Up Front".  Any information would be nice.
        Two things...I'm actaully in Wisconsin, so gettting a reply is a bit
convoluted.  Email to grimmund@edsi.plexus.com will hit if your net patches to 
Usenet, or Grimmund Blackwing at Fido node 1:139/655 will probably
work....I've never tried to use the Fidonet node for mail.
        If all else fails, I might be able to find it here on the Filk echo on 
Steppes, if you post back here.  I'm really not sure how it'll work out.
        One of the reasons I'm asking is our Runequest group ripped off the
music for "Ballrog" for a parody song about my character, Pipkin Dinosaur
slayer.  You see, Pipkin is size 3, strength 6, and has a damage modifier of
-minus 1d4.  Several luck critical shots with a sling have gotten Pipkin a
reputaion, but he still avoids melee combat as much as possible.

Pipkin the Dionsaurslayer, Pipkin the Dinosaurslayer,
pipkin the Dinosaurslayer, He saved the day!
Pipkin the dinosaurslayer, etc, etc, Why is he running away?

Kind of cute, if it doesn't get sung more than once a month...

We really need more FILK here!

instafilk from the other night, originally for my son (16 months) but what
the heck,,,we're filkish, we can take it!

(Obvious tune)

The very small arachnid climbed up the drainage system
Precipitation fell and removed from the pipe
The clouds went away and the water evaporated
And the very small arachnid re-climbed the drainage system

(talk about FORCED scansion!)  B{)

I learned the 3rd verse as:

The third, third, constipated man was Samson, he brought the house down.

I think that the Capitol Steps did something like that at some point.

ML> Which groups you listening to, Deborah? You would ask...<sigh>  ONe of
these days I *will* organize my tape collection & even *catalog* it!?!?!  OK, 
I know I have 2 klezmer tapes, bought them a few years back at the Dulcimer
Festival.  However, due to extreme disorganization on my part, I can only find 
one:  "Metropolis" by Klezmorim.  Copyright 1981 by Flying Fish Records.
 
You know, now I won't rest till I find that other !@#!@!!! tape!

That's another of those add-on-verse songs.  The Elf Hill Times Songbook
has a couple of pages of verses.

Here are the ones everyone seems to know:

Happy Birthday! (ugh!)
Happy Birthday! (ugh!)
May the cities in your wake
Burn like candles on your cake
Happy Birthday (etc.)

Hear the women wail and weep
Kill them all but spare the sheep

Now you've reached the age you are
Your demise cannot be far.
