Songs for the Sea?
Hey, Everyone!
Before I start my question, I want to tell you how grateful I am for you all on the Chiffboard. I have learned so much here. The other day I checked out Jerry Freeman's E bay site and listened to the sound clip of The Humors of Tuaimgreine. I loved it so much I sent to the Session and got the notes. Now I'm PLAYING it! Is that cool or what?
Now my question: We have Bible school coming up (teaching kids about Jesus) and the theme this year is sailing the open seas. I thought if I could learn a coupla sea ditties or hornpipes, that would be cool. More than two, I probably couldn't manage. Anybody know where I could find them?

Cows have ditties. People have tunes.
I concur with the suggestions above.

One does not equal two. Not even for very large values of one.

Re: Songs for the Sea?
This is a pretty, and slow, tune. The link is a graphic of the original score with lyrics. The D version, I transcribed into ABC from the graphic (to MT and the rest: cleared in hot on my transcription). I used Jens Wollschläger's ABC-Transposer to transpose it up to G, which I think sounds better.

What would a wild walrus whistle if a walrus could whistle wild?
The second mouse may get the cheese but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

I believe the polite term is "udders"crookedtune wrote:Cows have ditties.
Re: Songs for the Sea?
cow has a head,
cow has an udder,
cow has teats.
I's got no idea about the ditties.
Really, they don't sing that well.

Re: Songs for the Sea?
No connection to this thread ... Funny, I've been trying to remember this song for a week now, and it was driving me crazy. Bits and pieces in my head, but not enough to pin it down. It's the Cathie Ryan recording I was after. Thanks, walrii!walrii wrote:T:What Will You Do Love?

Whew! Squidgirl! I'm glad you warned me! But I got a couple of possibilities from here! (Of course I have to learn "Blow the Man Down!")
