So far, just PENGUIN EGGS on the UK label Topic.  I got mine from Elderly.

Actually, I believe that most of Dick Gaughan's albums are on CD --
his band work is not represented, but almost all his solo albums are out.
If I may interpolate the fine Gaughan discography which was posted the 
other day by Douglas Clark:


1972  No More Forever  Trailer
        on CD -- still under the Trailer label?
1973  The Boys of the Lough/The Boys of the Lough  Trailer
1976  Five Hand Reel/Five Hand Reel  Rubber
1977  Coppers and Brass  Topic
        on CD from Green Linnet in the US -- sound is mediocre, though
1977  Kist O'Gold  Trailer
1977  For A' That/Five Hand Reel  RCA
1978  Gaughan  Topic
        on CD from Topic (?) with some bonus tracks
1978  Earl O' Moray/Five Hand Reel  RCA
1981  Handful of Earth  Topic
        on CD
1982  Parallel Lines w/Andy Irvine  Folk Freak
        was on German CD which I wish I'd picked up, now out of print again
1983  A Different Kind of Love Song  Celtic Music
        I *think* I've seen this one on CD
1985  Fanfare for Tomorrow w/Ken Hyder  Impetus
1985  Live from Edinburgh  Celtic Music
        on CD
1986  True and Bold  Songs of the Scottish Miners  STUC
        on CD from Celtic Music
1988  Call it Freedom  Celtic Music
        on CD from Celtic Music

Elderly would have the best price for the limited selection of 
imports they carry.  I get lots of British Isles imports through a 
local store renowned for selection and for high prices; the rest come
from the mail order firms Roots and Rhythm in California, and Projection
Records in the UK.  Topic Mail Order in the UK should be cheaper, but 
I haven't tried them yet.  Send e-mail for my form letter on sources
for folk albums.  Caution to spoiled Americans: unless Elderly carries
it, expect to pay $23-25 including shipping for mail ordered British Isles
import CDs.

This is getting abstruse, but I believe that some of the factions in YPSL did
consider themselves Trotskyists or neo-Trotskyists, and they did sing it
with relish as self-ridicule.  The folks I knew later in the 60's (not YSA)
certainly thought of themselves as political descendants of Trotsky and
muster[d]ed themselves to sing it with relish.  Note the phrase "Trotskyite" as
opposed to "Trotskyist".  Trotskyists get offended when called "-ite"
but folks with Trotsky posters on their apartment walls loved the song anyway.

Why anyone remembered the tune to "Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown" was, and
is, a mystery.

My guess the McDill is Bob McDill.  At any point in time it seems

I just received a copy in the mail, and it looks pretty

known performers about the music that influenced them, and
then presenting those recordings for the reader.  Interviews
with John Prine, k. d. lang, Suzanne Vega and Joan Baez

I don't think there is a product here. Any HiFi VCR is fully equipped if you
just plug the receiver's tape outs into the audio ins. I bought the Toshiba
DX-900 VHS VCR the day they announced that they were discontinuing it. It was
the only VCR on the consumer market with a built in 14-bit PCM converter built
in. (This works like a SONY F-1, except it is built in and records CD quality
audio on the VCR in the video tracks. It cost about $600 and they could barely
give them away. Nobody cared. I don't know what I'll ever do it if breaks
down, but I record more audio than video on it. I have a DAT, but the VHS
tapes are so much cheaper that it's hard to justify putting things on DAT
unless they need rapid shuttling.

Think of all the investment capital I just saved you...

There's an interesting show on the "BRAVO" cable channel in the US
about these folks.  I think it was part of the "Southbank" series
(which I presume appears in the UK & other places too).

My nomination is the Blue Buddha tape/cd from Robin Anders of Boiled

In reply to the question about Maire Ni Bhraonain - she is indeed Eithne's
sister, who sang with Clannad. I gather that Maire decided to persue a solo
career - hence the new album. Whether this means that Clannad will continue
recording without her, or whether they will split up, I'm not sure. The Ui
Bhraonain clan must be pretty big. As well as the two "sisters" who backed her
on Maire there are two "brothers" who are in Clannad.
Hope this answers the question.

"Kip of the Serenes" came out on CD in the UK about a month ago. I didn't find it
in any of the shops, but Our Price ordered it and had it within a week, at (I
think) \pounds 8.99. According to the latest Folk Roots, they've done something
strange to it, though: it has been remastered at about 90% of the speed of the
original. This may be a result of the funny sound enhancement process touted on the
sleeve (well, insert for a CD, I suppose). But it's well worth getting anyway. I
don't know if there are plans to re-release the second album.

Try anything with harp on it. My favorite is "Wind Shadows" by Kim Robert-

Or try June Tabor. Hmm then again mebbe not.. not so much calming as
depressing... 8-)

   Is she the one who patterns herself after a Mini Pearl character?
   Very homespun, corny, religious music ... like Aunt Bee from Mayberry RFD
   jamming and singing on the piano in her front parlor?  Maybe I've got her
   confused with someone else ... or I just wasn't tracking that day.

   Judy

I suppose she might give you that impression if you don't listen to the
lyrics.  Her voice sounds "homespun", there is a kind of bubbly wit that
might be mistaken for "corny", and religion figures in some of the songs.
But the lyricsre quite sophisticated.  The opening track, "Let The 
Mystery Be" presents her agnosticism, which is quite striking in light
of the very strong influence of church music on her.  "Our Town" is
written from the point of view of an old resident of a town that's 
becoming a ghost town; I think it's a sign of a good writer to write
from a point of view other than her own.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as "folk" (at least I've not seen this type of
music discussed in this newsgroup), but my favorite soothing album is "Japanese
Melodies for flute and harp"  performed by Jean-Pierre Rampal and Lily
Laskine [Columbia 34568, c1978, p1976].  I don't know if it was ever released
as a cd, but you might be able to find it in a used record/tape store.

I also like Tommy Sands having heard him on the Thistle and Shamrock a
couple of years back. He also had a single out called "When the Music
Plays" (or something like that), another go political track from his
repertoir(sp?) is Humpty Dumpty was Pushed.

As to the politics of the situation and the left, most of the Anarchist
views on the troubles follows the line "a pox on both you sides, lets
work with the people" (or words to this effect), and as for union or

Amusingly, the version I heard was indeed a non-country, brass-band polka
version. On the album "Up With Polkas" by the Max Smuleweicz Orchestra;
no date information given on the album, but T. Glaser is credited as the

 In an antique store in Massachussetts, I found a fine old Irish harp,
 lap or table type. In taking it (here in Austin) to a guitar shop
 to be strung (no harp shops here), I learned it needs a type of string
 called silk steel. A couple of phone calls to far, far places, and
 it turns out they can be ordered - curiously perhaps, the person at
 Sylvia Woods hadn't heard of that type string.

 You can see perhaps that as a beginner I'm at sea... someone just wrote
 me about a previous thread on this group, and probably someone has asked
 all the things I would like to know. Has anyone saved that thread - would
 you kindly share it?

This rings bells, although not the ones with the title on 'em...the end line
of the chorus, after "he" tells "her" a number of other chores to perform,
says, "And come and tell me why you're leavin' me."  Hope that helps jog
