"a new tune for the words" -- Ah, so this is the ballad called 'Tam Lin,' not
the fiddle tune. Ah well. Still interested, though.

resp:77 :: boy, do I feel dumb. I was looking at Steeleye Span's album
TIME tonight, and the ending part of "The Old Maid in the Garrett"
is an instrumental tune named "Tam Lin."

Yep. That's the one. It's getting pretty common as a contra dance tune.

The Monkees, "Greatest Hits," the 1995 package from Rhino.
I'd wanted copies of the songs "Last Train to Clarksville" and "Stepping
Stone" for years, and then yesterday at dinner the muzak was playing
"I'm A Believer," so we decided that it was time to get a good
Monkees anthology.

Incubus, "Morning View." There's a conference item in here, I imagine.

re #83: I'd never thought of the Marketts' (two 't's) "Out of Limits"
as a Hallowe'en song, but I suppose one could stretch, given its obvious
Twilight Zone inspiration..

It came on a Halloween compilation I got. Yes, loose association.
Kay Starr's version of "Headless Horseman" is playing now. I think it
is the same tune Bing Crosby sang in Disney's "Legend of Sleepy Hollow".

Okay, so I've been listening to this cd almost non-stop for the past couple
of weeks...I *REALLY* like it. :)

Early 20th century recordings by soprano Emmy Destinn. Curiously, this
is the second Czech CD in three months which is warped and won't play in
the "vertical" CD player in the bedroom stereo, but it plays fine
in the "horizontal" player in the main stereo.

Camper Van Beethoven, "Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart."
They just don't make rock albums like this any more, *sniff*.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Emmylou Harris, particularly
several more recent albums ("Wrecking Ball", "Spyboy", and "Red Dirt Girl",
all courtesy of the King County Library..) Although it's probably the
weakest of those three albums, I've been listening to two tracks from
"Spyboy" over and over: "Tulsa Queen" and "My Songbird"..
I was interested enough in "My Songbird" to use the All Music Guide
(always deserving of a plug: http://www.allmusic.com ) to track down
its origins. It's apparently the work of a guy named Jesse Winchester,
who was apparently an up-and-coming folkie in the 60s until he fled to
Canada to avoid being sent to Vietnam. For several reasons this seems
to have dealt a death-blow to his career -- at any rate he was forgotten
enough that I'd never heard of him. Does anyone more familiar with the
music of that era remember anything about him or have any opinions about
his music? "My Songbird" is a heartbreaking song, at least as Emmylou
performs it..

Mike in resp:94 :: unfortunately it's questionable whether I can find my
copy of SPYBOY in finite time. I have a vague memory of having
seen Jesse Winchester live at MSU around the early 1980s --
maybe he was opening for the Roches -- but I really don't
have much to offer about him.
Glad you're enjoying the three most recent Emmylou albums, though.
WRECKING BALL was on my favorites-of-the-last-decade list.

"Wrecking Ball" is a wonderful album. I'd say it's the best album
discovery I've made in the last year.

a mess of 45 second MP3 song samples downloaded from
http://www.cdroots.com, a CD shop designed to vacuum out my wallet with
maximum efficiency. Sigh. The samples from the new Gabriel Yacoub album
(ex-Malicorne) are uniformly excellent, and the samples from the new Tellu
Virkkala album (ex-Hedningarna) are almost as good, and then there is Oskorri
and Na Lua, and mumble whine whimper budget *sniff*.
