Subject: Lyr Req: music req Dancing with Bears From: Vixen Date: 19 Nov 06 - 06:19 PM D'Cats-- Reynaud and I played a birthday party gig today, and received a request for "Dancing with Bears." We've heard of it, and heard it, but neither one of us knows it. I just searched the DT and forum (always my first place to look, and usually my last) but found nothing. A google search turned up the full title, "My Uncle Walter Goes Dancing with Bears" but no lyrics. Will someone please point us to the lyrics and a recording??? Thanks in advance-- Mudcats are the best! Vixen and Reynaud |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: music req Dancing with Bears From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 19 Nov 06 - 06:36 PM Waltzing With Bears is in the DT and there are several threads on the song, lyrics and tunes posted. If you put waltzing in the Filter box and set the Age drop-down to All you'll find 3 or so threads listed. Try this one to start (it has the chords and the tune) and the links at the top of the thread Lyr/Chords Req: waltzing with bears Mick |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: music req Dancing with Bears From: open mike Date: 19 Nov 06 - 06:50 PM i just heard a new verse to this one today on the radio ablut uncle walter's wife, Aunt Matilda who altered her fur coat so she could get a dance with Walter--and he would never know. "He's waltzing with Pandas, he won't understand us, the bears all demand at least one waltz a day..." I sang this just last night...!! Rosalie Sorrels sings this.. (despite kthe protestations of Theodore Geisel's lawyers...) |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: music req Dancing with Bears From: Jeri Date: 19 Nov 06 - 07:15 PM I bet you're looking for a sound file/recording of the tune. Just a wild guess. I found a small (one verse and chorus) MP3 file at Tom Hanford's website, and here are the words in the DT |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dancing with Bears / Waltzing with Be From: Susanne (skw) Date: 25 Nov 06 - 09:53 PM Eddie1, there is no recording of Iain singing WwB, and in the twenty years I knew him I never heard him sing it. I'd be interested to learn where and when you did. You could pm me if you think it's thread creep. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dancing with Bears / Waltzing with Bears From: Mick Tems Date: 26 Nov 06 - 06:24 AM Further to Dame Pattie's message, Bayou Seco are based in Silver City, New Mexico, US - I was organising for Llantrisant Folk Club, and I booked Ken and Jeanie and booked them again! Mike Greenwood knew of them, and he dearly wanted to see Bayou Seco at our club. Waltzing With Bears was a high spot, and I well remember Ken's luxuriant beard covering his face! Not a bad little combo! |
