I have a recording of Jean Redpath singing "Wheels of Fortune", and
there's a couple of lines which I cannot for the life of me decipher.
Can anybody help me?  I'm having trouble with the first two lines of the
first verse (right before "one fine day I'm going to see her, whether
she be rich or no") and the second line of the second verse ("Lassie,
I've got gold and silver, lassie, I've got ...., lassie, I've got ships
on the ocean, all to sail at your command").
If anyone knows them, I'd appreciate your help.  It's so difficult to
absentmindedly sing a song you don't know the words to!

He benefits from the fact that it is impossible to compare a newly made
violin to a Strad.  The sound quality of the old Italian instruments has
changed with age; moreover they've all been altered to suit modern playing
demands (in particular the short necks have been replaced to make them
louder).   So I wouldn't put much stock in anybody's claim to have produced
a Strad clone.

It was ruled "unconscious plagiarism", and George ended up paying
something in the 6 figure range, less than 500000.

The song "Sue Me, Sue You Blues" has been taken by many to be
a reference to his (and Lennon and Starkey's) fights with Paul
McCartney over the Beatles breakup.

This past weekend I picked up an astonishing cd of a Bulgarian clarinet player
by the name of Ivo papasov. He plays what is essentially wedding music with
his band. They consist of sax, accordion, electric guitar, electric bass and
drums. On a couple of tracks they feature a female vocalist. 

Now, although this is classified as wedding music, it is NOT the cheesy, 
kitchy music we all associate with weddings. These are superb musicians
by any standard, playing musically inventive and technically amazing shit.

Why am I telling you all of this?

1. I highly recommend it

2. I would like to know more about Ivo Papasov. Does anyone out there 
   know of his recordings being distributed in the US? Any particularly
   good ones?

Thanks to all of you who responded to my twisted cry for help in
identifying my oddball pseudo-viola.  I still don't know what it is, but
I've received enough input that I thought it might warrant a quick summary:

Several correspondents have suggested that it might be a Hardanger
fiddle.  I don't think it is, though, because it looks to me like the
extra strings are supposed to be fingered and bowed along with the main
set, not installed as sympathetic strings as on a Hardanger.  Also,
someone pointed out that Hardangers are usually heavily decorated with
inlays and carving; the appearance of the Frankenfiddle is quite plain.

Several people also suggested that it might be a dulcimer of some sort,
but withdrew their suggestions when I reminded them that the bridge
makes it clear that this instrument is supposed to be played with a bow.
 Nobody could think of an example of a bowed dulcimer.  Someone also
suggested it might be akin to a bozouki, but again, those are plucked,
not bowed.

One writer thought it might be a scaled-down version of a viola da
gamba, since those have six strings instead of the four customary on
violins and violas  (Frankenfiddle has eight).  However, the viola da
gamba is tuned in fourths, like a guitar--each string has its own
tuning.  The Frankenfiddle nut and bridge grooves are not evenly spaced,
as one might expect for this kind of setup; instead, everything is in
pairs, like a mandolin.  It seems unlikely that the pairs would be tuned
other than in unison, or maybe octaves--but who knows?

However, we may be onto something, here: one contributor noted that the
f-holes on a viol are like parentheses (as they are on my
Frankenfiddle), rather than like f's or s's as seen on a violin.  On my
Frankenfiddle, the sound holes (silly to call them "f-holes" when they
look like parentheses, not f's) are oriented like this: ( - ) where the
- represents the bridge; on a viol, they would look more like ) - (. 
But despite the fact that mine are "backwards," they're at least similar
in general shape to the ones on a viol.  Perhaps this is progress.

Thank you all for your interest, and if you think of any other
possibilities, however bizarre or improbable, I'd certainly like to hear
about them!

Yes, the one on the Liam Clancy solo album isn't as nice as the one he does
with Tommy Makem on "The Makem and Clancy Collection." The solo version is

John,

Nor did Ernie Ford write "Mule Train" nor the Sons of the Pioneers write
"Ghost Riders in the Sky."
Perhaps you should read a post a bit more carefully before flaming it!
Below is the opening sentence of the post you quoted from.

In the recording business, a "cover" is simply a recording of a song another
artist has in current release.

Johnny Horton had "New Orleans" out, Monroe covered it.  Nowhere did I say
that either of them wrote it.  Driftwood, by the way, only wrote the lyrics.
As I posted in answer to Steve Putz's question, the tune was an old traditional
fiddle breakdown called "Eighth of January."

Best,

Thanks to the netter who identified the Michelle Shocked song with the
refrain "I've gone 500 miles today..." ("Come A Long Way," Arkansas Traveler CD).
This is truly an astounding song and should become a classic.  I would probably
buy the CD even if this was the only recording on it.   I hope the studio
recording sounds as good as the live concert performance.  The accompaniment by the
fiddler (name??) and Allison Browne on guitar (or was it banjo?) was brilliant.

Incidentally, one other piece of info I forgot to include in my previous post was
Michelle's introductory comment about the song "Cotton-eyed Joe."  She said that
when she asked her father what the song was about, he said he didn't know.  But
after listening to it more carefully and putting 2 and 2 together, she was
convinced that it was about a technique used for abortion in the South many years
years ago.  I'll have to listen to the song again to see if this is the case.
Well, I suppose this will stir up some controversy on the net!!!
