Deborah and Tom are all of five minutes from SINSULL's. 6PM start Buffet + Beverages Song Circle until... Beds available at my house. Who's in? I had to do something to quell the uprising (upraising?) of tiny nuns. |

Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 18 Feb 07 - 02:22 PM Does anyone but me wonder what the date might be? Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: TRUBRIT Date: 18 Feb 07 - 07:07 PM Oops - date will be Saturday February 24 - as Mary said, PM me or Sinsull for directions. Hope to see some folks there......it is good for me, I might actually have to pick up!!!!!! The good news is that I don't cook BUT my husand does so the food will be more than edible..... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL Date: 18 Feb 07 - 08:21 PM You have a husand? Where did you find it? A newer model? |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: adventure Date: 18 Feb 07 - 08:26 PM Doryman and his mate will be attending. Looking for an LZ for the evening. Where were you two yesterday? Missed you. See you soon. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Date: 18 Feb 07 - 09:23 PM "PM...SINSULL for directions"... YEEESH! I'll need directions that won't land me in Bar Harbor. I'll PM you (TB)tomorrow if you don't PM me first. My brain is trying to pretend it's made of toasted marshmallow at the moment. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 18 Feb 07 - 09:24 PM LZ? Lions and Zebras? Limabeans and Zuicchinis? Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Date: 18 Feb 07 - 09:25 PM Landing zone. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: TRUBRIT Date: 18 Feb 07 - 09:57 PM Doryman and his mate - space at our house if wanted or I believe Sinsull is offering room also. Don't know why Sinsull wasn't there yesterday - I was digging out of a load of work that descended upon me as a result of 4 days in warmer climes. Let me know if you need directions....... Mary - my HUSHAND is very special -- one of a kind!! They don't make them like that any more!!!! Jeri, will pm you with directions - so glad you can come. |

Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Crane Driver Date: 19 Feb 07 - 04:19 AM Well, in a spirit of reciprocal non-attendance, we would like to say how much we'd like to be there, if there was nearer here . . . ;-} See you all someday not too far off (hopefully) Andrew & Carole |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: GUEST Date: 19 Feb 07 - 07:07 AM me too, I send apologies for absence and hope to attend at your beautiful home some time soon, Micca |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: jacqui.c Date: 19 Feb 07 - 07:48 AM And I have to bow out this time. Jacqui.c, bloody but unbowed after finally arriving in the UK after a 14 hour journey complete with hold ups to both flights and whingy kids in the row in front on the transatlantic crossing........ |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 19 Feb 07 - 07:51 AM We'll be there -- also need accommodations for the night. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 19 Feb 07 - 10:34 AM It's beginning to sound like great fun. If the weather is reasonable, we'll be there and we know where there is, and shouldn't need sleeping accomodations. Cheerly, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: adventure Date: 19 Feb 07 - 02:49 PM Well, that was short lived.....no LZ required(thanks Jeri)as a board meeting was just cancelled and rescheduled for the 24th of February due to a new member of our Adventure team arriving early. New baby, not ours, with first time parents at 59 and 40 respectively. So this takes care of the afternoon and evening for us. Hope you all have a great time and sing your hearts out. See you all soon. Doryman and hs mate. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL Date: 19 Feb 07 - 07:35 PM We'll miss you two. Meantime my bed is afloat - the roof died. So I may need a dry bed. I hope my insurance will replace this one. M |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Date: 19 Feb 07 - 10:00 PM Huh? The sky dripped through the upper floor to fall upon your bed downstairs? That really sucks! I can hang in the motorhome or wherever (if it was just a bit warmer, the car would probably be OK), or I can drive home as long as I leave before I turn into a pumpkin. The directions (thanks TB!) look easy to follow. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: kendall Date: 19 Feb 07 - 10:11 PM Jeri, you have dibs on the motor home. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: TRUBRIT Date: 19 Feb 07 - 10:23 PM This should be fun (although we will miss Doryman, his mate, Micca, Carole and Andrew -- although personally I think the UK isn't THAT far away for a weekend trip!!!). I know Mary is having some trauma at home with a leaky roof (email messages exchanged earlier with a frantic plea for the names of roofers......) - so let's do this. We have a guest bedroom that can have Tom and Linn's name on it. Mary and Jeri are welcome to stay -- it may be couches (of which we have plenty) or one of my spoiled son's three rooms (he has a bedroom, living room and workout room on account of his big sisters not living here any more.....). Frankly if I were in your shoes, I would opt for a nice comfy couch in front of a warm fire before I would set my toe in one of his rooms ..... but then I am his mother and I know what I might find there.... Tami - are you on? Any others welcome though good to know numbers so right amount of food can be prepared. We will provide the main meal -- guests should focus on dessert or nibbles..... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 20 Feb 07 - 07:57 AM We'll use that guest BR, Deb! Now we just need coherent directions on how to get to your place from Mary's (bcause we know how to get to Mary's...). Linn |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 20 Feb 07 - 08:03 AM Sinsull- Is it one of those nasty ice-dams causing problems? Whatever you do, don't let Kendall get up on your roof with a hatchet. Kendall may re-shingle the rum-seller's roof but I'm less sure about his capacity to re-shingle yours. Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: kendall Date: 20 Feb 07 - 08:31 AM Charlie, you are leading with your chin! LOL |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 Date: 20 Feb 07 - 05:09 PM Yes, Deb, I'm in. I do not have regular access to the internet, so sometimes I may be a bit behind the start of the thread. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL Date: 20 Feb 07 - 06:04 PM I contacted the insurance company who gave me a roofer and will give me the name of a reputable ceiling replacer. They should replace the bed as well. Now there are wet spots in the closet and the sunroom. I am beginning to see why some people prefer being homeless. I have my erye on a shopping cart with Deborah's ad on it. Think of all the advertising she will get when me and my four cats show up at Preble Street. A bed??? I was going to offer to be designated driver. We'll see how the evening plays out. Might be nice to sleep without fear of the ceiling falling on my head. Actually - I think the tiny nuns did it. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 20 Feb 07 - 07:28 PM Sins -- is this a continuation of your previous roof problems or something completely different? Oh, and speaking of nuns (sort of), I've been meaning to ask you -- where (and why, of course) did you get the Amish-like bonnet and apron? (And why was I the recipient?!?) Linn |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: TRUBRIT Date: 20 Feb 07 - 10:40 PM Linn - I'll pm you the directions -- the guest room is booked for you and Tom. Jeri has directions already, Charlie and Judy have been here as has Tami, Kendall and Mary (frequently - ish) so we should be all set...... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: MMario Date: 21 Feb 07 - 08:44 AM I should stop reading these threads. Hope you all have a great time - and *someday* I'm going to make one of these circles. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 Date: 21 Feb 07 - 12:01 PM Yeah, yeah, promises, promises, MMario! I'll believe it when I see you. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: MMario Date: 21 Feb 07 - 12:02 PM hey! I made a chanty sing in Portsmouth once! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 Date: 21 Feb 07 - 12:07 PM Well, how 'bout a repeat performance, then? |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: MMario Date: 21 Feb 07 - 12:11 PM if my siblings children would stop spawning and mating I might have some time left for music!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: kendall Date: 21 Feb 07 - 12:45 PM Most of us would rather mate than sing. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 22 Feb 07 - 07:34 PM refresh |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL Date: 23 Feb 07 - 07:47 PM I am bringing dessert and some wine and a bottle of Single Malt. What else is on the menu? With Jacqui AWOL we need some donations. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 23 Feb 07 - 08:21 PM We'll bring a desert item, possibly a cheesecake if I really get it together. Otherwise, icecream. Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: TRUBRIT Date: 23 Feb 07 - 09:49 PM I think we will be ok.....Tom is doing chicken tarragon and potatoes and a salad, and a couple of quiches in case of vegetarians. That should at least keep the wolf from the door. With you and Judy and Charlie we have two desserts so we will not starve..........anyone else coming bring nibbles or another main meal or a vegetable..... See you all tomorrow. Sinsull, can you bring 3-4 folding chairs...? |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL Date: 24 Feb 07 - 09:03 AM Folding chairs, Single Malt, Wine and dessert. So we have: SINSULL Jeri Linn and Tom Charlie and Judy Tami Deborah and Tom Anyone else???? |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 24 Feb 07 - 09:34 AM Errr, have any of you asked BobBi Keppel? She doesn't usually monitor Mudcat threads. Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 24 Feb 07 - 01:19 PM Hope Kendall will be there. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Date: 24 Feb 07 - 01:29 PM I'm staying home. I have too little energy, and too much to do here. I'm going to miss people, not to mention the food and music. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 Date: 24 Feb 07 - 01:58 PM Party pooper! I have asked neighbor Kathy, but she is still deciding. Jason will be napping and/or dog-sitting for Joey. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: kendall Date: 24 Feb 07 - 02:00 PM And we will miss you too. Yes, Batty, I'll be there. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 24 Feb 07 - 02:20 PM Oh dear, there may be too much cheesecake. Whatever can we do? Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 Date: 24 Feb 07 - 02:52 PM Noooo! Anything but too much cheesecake! Please don't throw me in that briar patch with the cheesecake! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL Date: 24 Feb 07 - 04:03 PM Jeri is staying home???? Awwwww. Does this mean there will be no nuns ? Inquiring minds want to know. Dsamn Jeri - I laundered clean sheets for you! M |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 Date: 24 Feb 07 - 05:47 PM Jeri just told me via PM that I can have her slice of cheesecake. And Kathy will be staying in this evening. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Date: 24 Feb 07 - 06:14 PM Well, if I'm not there, I surely can't be used as a nun mule. They will have to get into your house to make you see the error of your sinfull life in some other manner. Keep your toilet lid down and use TidyBowl so the little guy in the little boat can whack them with his little oar if they try swimming out of the sewer. Tami is the only one who asked me about the cheesecake, so it's hers. Somebody ask TB to sing that song about the Wheel of |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: kendall Date: 24 Feb 07 - 08:45 PM I left early on account of my dog being unwell. He is much better now, and maybe Tammy was right...he was exhausted. As usual, Tom's cooking was top quality. Jeri, we all missed you, but we realize you are not getting any younger....hehehe |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: TRUBRIT Date: 25 Feb 07 - 01:49 AM Jeri - that Wheel of Time song is yours and I wish you had been here to sing it == we had a blast....... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Date: 25 Feb 07 - 09:59 AM I still slept like crap, my sinuses are embuggered, and I have a nasty headache this morning, but nobody's around to hear about it. (At least not in person - haha.) So did Mary sleep over or did she go home to her water bed? Who's cooking breakfast? Did Mary find any nuns in the refrigerator yet? Were there 'dead date' songs? |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: jacqui.c Date: 25 Feb 07 - 10:03 AM Enquiring minds need to know the answers to those questions...... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: SINSULL Date: 25 Feb 07 - 10:40 AM I slept over at Deborah and Tom's on a very comfortable sofa in front of a fireplace. Someone over served me and Tami said I could not drive. (So did I). Wonderful music and as usual incredible food. I started the evening with "You Are My Sunshine' - hadn't heard it in a while. Deborah did some 70s folk rock. Charlie introduced a new song and I left the lyrics on a coffee table. Tom had a brain problem and couldn't remember Foggy Foggy Dew so he sang - I don't remember. Someone help out here. Judy performed Kitty Kane and shared the lyrics. Maybe we need a night of lovable whore songs. This one is a winner. Linn and Tom were unusually quiet. What did Linn sing? Now for a nap. Many thanks to Deborah and Tom for a wonderful evening. John Roberts is next. |

Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 25 Feb 07 - 11:02 AM Jeri- We certainly missed you in between bites of quice, sauteyed chicken in a wonderful white sauce, sald, small red potatoes, and key lime pie and my baked cheesecake. The cheesecake was lighter than I usually make but it seemed to go down well, and we left enough for the breakfast gang. I sang C. Fox Smith's "Lumber" without messing up the 4th verse and now I feel much better. Judy and I also tried a song ("I'll Say Good-Bye") we've been working on alternatively for a year. Our verses don't exactly correlate but the plot is the familar one of the sailor being called back to the sea, leaving his love behind, or so it begins and then switches tacks. I'm not sure whose version is more warped but both include the "pierhead leap." The tune and chorus came in a dream and it's a very pleasing tune. I'm less sure about the verses. John Warner's "Kitty Kane" certainly deserves more attention. I wish I could more reliably figure out the tune but JudyB does a fine job of leading it. Maybe because Barry Finn wasn't there we felt free to put together a collaborative "London Julie." I also was asked to sing my original version of "Yangtse River Shanty." It certainly was just nice to sit around the bright fireplace chatting and swapping songs. Thanks again, TRUBRIT and Tom, for hosting this song party! Will we see you at the next Shanty Sing in Portsmouth (NH) in two weeks? Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 Date: 25 Feb 07 - 11:58 AM It was a small but fun gathering. But we did miss Jeri and Jacqui. I was kind of hoping to get Jeri to sing "When I Go," but I guess it can wait. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Jeri Date: 25 Feb 07 - 05:09 PM Well, I've still got a bit of a headache, but while you were finishing up whatever you had for breakfast, I wrote a waltz. It was for Clancy, and is for Seamus and will be for Bandit - called The Yellow Dog. I have a webspot someplace, but I don't know where I left it. If you're interested in hearing it (2K MIDI), either pm me with your e-mail address, or e-mail me. I haven't written a tune for around 4 years... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 25 Feb 07 - 07:43 PM Oh, let's see, what DID I sing? I think I started out with "The Maid Gae To the Mill", a sweet country love song I learned from a Ewan MacColl recording. Then I started "Backside of Nantucket Point" but my voice (the bitch) wouldn't stay. The dry air hits all of a sudden and when least expected. Sigh. But I recovered. Hmm... The Watersons' "Chickens In the Garden", a bit of '60s doo wop " Told Every Little Star" (strictly traditional...), started the chorus and verse on "London Julie", a bit of "Gin, Gin Was Mother's Ruin". Can't remember what else (if anything) off hand. Good conversation, too! A delightful evening. Thanks, Deborah and Tom, for hosting it! Linn Linn |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: TRUBRIT Date: 25 Feb 07 - 09:40 PM A lovely evening -- AND I think I sold a house today....yahoo!!!! We all get to eat for another month.... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 26 Feb 07 - 07:53 AM I just started listening to the tapes this morning -- we shouldn't forget Charley's "The Landlord's Lullaby". I also regaled the crowd with the story (and photograph that my sister had just sent me) of my parents' first apartment in Colby, Wisconsin in 1947. For $17 a month they got a second floor apartment with the bathroom down an outside stairway to a garage in the back. And then...the landlord sold the garage and they had to avail themselves of the facilities in the Mobil gas station (alsoin the photo) across the street (Hwy. 13) from them. Just found this http://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/PaceEgging.htm this morning, which ties in with the Watersons' song Deborah sang early in the evening. (Been meaning to learn that one for years.) Linn |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: Charley Noble Date: 26 Feb 07 - 08:05 AM "The Landlord's Lullaby" was one of the songs I was surprised to find on the Mudcat DT when I first joined. I was intrigued about how it got here but never was able to identify who added it. I co-authored it back in the early 1970's when I was directing a tenant/landlord counseling center in the university town of East Lansing, Michigan. It commemorates an incident when a downtown rooming house had to be evacuated because of leaking gas. We enjoyed this kind of gallows humor in those days gone by. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: ranger1 Date: 26 Feb 07 - 08:12 AM Oh, and Deb and I (with help from everyone else) did "Long Black Veil." Ah, shucks, Jeri, ya got me all weepy-eyed again! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CIRCLE at TRUBRIT's Maine From: kendall Date: 26 Feb 07 - 08:34 AM Of course we want to hear it! |
