Subject: Lyr Req: mudcat cd lyrics From: bradfordian Date: 11 Jan 03 - 03:22 PM The more we play these brilliant mudcat cds, the more we want to learn and sing some of the songs. Of course we could listen to them and get the words that way, but as has just been demonstrated you get the odd mis-heard word/phrase. So I was wondering if folks wanted a focal point to publish lyrics of the songs on the blue plate specials. Many of course are already in the DT, some are instrumentals, some authors may choose not to publish here. Harvey Andrews has just graciously put the words for his FROM THE HEART (Plum) in a thread, and I thought it would be great to have them all in one place (that is for those who want to )There are 4 or 5 from each Cd that I would like the words for. There are many of the newer ones that are well worthy of perpetuating (with the authors creditation of course). It could also be used for updates and corrections. Also if words are available elsewhere, then links could be supplied. Just a thought, how about it folks? (Or am I too late and has this already been thought about?) Regards Brad |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: mudcat cd lyrics From: Amos Date: 11 Jan 03 - 04:07 PM Brad: The first effort to do this was in the threads named for the individual CDs. The second iteration was the threads name Mudcat CD xxx Liner Notes. If you find any that are not in those threads, it would be a kindness to add them to the appropriate thread. A |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: mudcat cd lyrics From: Genie Date: 11 Jan 03 - 04:40 PM I think I'm gonna PM the contributors individually and send them each a link to my recently started "liner notes" threads. Several folks have posted their lyrics and other liner notes, but I think some folks have missed those threads. I'd prefer to get the lyrics from the mouths of the "horses," themselves,* rather than have other folks transcribe them from listening, since that often results in mondegreens. If the "horses" won't talk, of course, we'll have to make do. I'll go ahead and "gang-PM" those folks this afternoon, since I'm in a situation where I can delude myself into thinking I have the time. ;-D Genie *I forgot: "I ain't never heard no horses singin'!" |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: mudcat CD lyrics From: Genie Date: 26 Jan 03 - 04:39 PM Just in case you haven't been following the individual liner notes Permathreads, if you have a song on one of the 5 Mudcat CDs and have not posted the lyrics yet, please PM them to me and I will add them to the appropriate CD liner notes. If you're one of those sweethearts like Ebbie who took the initiative in transcribing the lyrics from hearing the CDs, you can also help by checking the liner notes Permathreads and PM-ing me any lyrics you have that are not already posted in those threads. If the lyrics are exactly as in the DT or posted in another thread, all we need is a link to them and a note saying they are the same. I hope we can get a good set of printable liner notes by mid February. Thanks, Genie |
