@Killvion1 Viet Nam did him in. Pentagon papers proved it a failure. Civil rights laws did him with white racists regardless of the good. Kennedy got credit for his work. Tragic times

I thought it was supposed to be In the Garden of Eden but the singer was so incoherent that it sounded like In a gadda da vida so they went with it.

Sang it in the choir yesterday then cantored at the next Mass. I like the bass line at the end of the verse. My son who has a music degree said he enjoyed the shanty.

Sounds like Planxty in the old days.

I first heard this from the singing of the Watersons including her Mum and Dad years ago when Eliza was a wee girl. It's neat to see the two traditions meeting.

Prince Charles is a big fan of Parry.

We sang this at my late pastor's funeral. We have lost a few more priests from the ones that celebrated that Mass with the Cardinal.

He called the Cuban Missile Crisis WWI. Learn your history. A fine point but for those of us that remember watching JFK address the nation about the blockade we tend to be picky about these things.

Aly Bain is from Shetland, Phil Cunningham was in Silly Wizard with his late lamented brother Johnny is from Edinburgh, Jerry Douglas on dobro is American.

Technically Bimbo is male. It was the name of Betty Boop's "dog." She is a Bimbette I think. Looking at how she dresses slut comes to mind but even teen age clothes shops look like Sluts-R-Us these days.

A lawyer whose gruesome prison death spooked investors and blackened Russia's image was probably beaten to death in pre-trial detention, the Kremlin's human rights council has said.

Magnitsky's death sent a warning to potential investors in Russia, which trades at a discount to other emerging ma...

274 on the top. Sacred Harp

Copper family song. The Dransfields did a great version.

Heather lives in New York, Hell's Kitchen

Actually it is Eric Idle playing Koko. Richard Van Allan played Pooh Bah

It has taken a bit to get used to seeing Jon playing the squeeze box but he has on a number of songs during his Folk Song a Day series this past year. I will mis it when it ends.

Jon is a confirmed Bellamite

Kate and son Rufus with Anna

A yes. The Levelers music would have come with the Puritans into New England. Then followed the music south with the music teachers.

Sacred Harp 457 listed as Bever's Christian Songster 1858 arranged John Dye 1935

Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger, in that bright land to which I go.

Sacred Harp 457. Tim Eriksen who probably taught it to Jack White as part of his musical duties on Cold Mountain does a version that's better for my taste if sung as a solo but that is a shadow of it sung in a group in a hollow square.

This Day God Gives Me in the red Worship III book.

Slane. Sang Lord of All Hopefulness at Mass a couple weeks ago, different words but the same tune. I picked hymns that had Irish tunes as I was advertising for a St Patrick's Bash that Sunday.

I have choir practice on the 17th and a Lenten dinners on Fridays in March but if there are some other gigs going I would like to see if I can make it. I just shoot up 85 to 70 then get off a few exits up to get to the coffee house.

Cute. Not the lyrics I am familiar with though. :-)

My great something ancestor was a compatriot of Billings and their fellow Bostonians. He moved to Maryland when Adams was President and I now live about 10 minutes away from FS Key's grave. I prefer Chester and think the current anthem had more to do with the rise of the American Empire and idola...
