Members garthman Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 The last VOM of the year. O Men From The Fields (A Cradle Song) (words by Padraic Colum, music by Arnold Cooke). https://app.box.com/s/egjz94n3mrxgk8jfb076uy5fm046xydf O men from the fields, come gently within,Tread softly, softly, O men, coming in.Mavourneen* is going from me and from youWhere Mary will fold him with mantle of blue,From reek of the smoke and cold of the floorAnd the peering of things across the half-door.O men from the fields, softly, softly come through;Mary puts round him Her mantle of blue *mavourneen = "my darling" (from the Irish "mo mhuirnin") Played on my lute guitar. Best wishes for the festive season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted December 21, 2019 Members Share Posted December 21, 2019 I have another twofer this month, both seasonal and both originals. First is "The No Christmas Presents Blues," inspired by the "Folsom Prison Blues," and with appropriate apologies to Johnny Cash: https://soundcloud.com/david-phelps-681437607/the-no-christmas-presents-blues Second is something a bit more serious, "The Fourth Wise Man," based on a story I made up: https://soundcloud.com/david-phelps-681437607/the-fourth-wise-man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted December 24, 2019 Members Share Posted December 24, 2019 Misha - That was lovely, even though the song is unfamiliar. Thanks for posting. We don't get nearly enough of your playing or singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted December 25, 2019 Members Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hi DeepEnd! It's too low to sing for me but I might try to record it in another key! You all are much tighter than I am! (I'm simply not!) It's been a pleasure to listen to your clips! (I don't have a karaoke machine but it would have been fun for tonight's family diner! I'm looking on the net to see if there is an easy way with an amp, a mic and a computer to simulate karaoke!!) Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than I could possibly do. Thanks for posting. BTW, I took the liberty of "fixing" your YouTube link. More people need to see/hear this.

Members kwakatak Posted December 30, 2019 Members Share Posted December 30, 2019 Thanks, Deepend. The forum software here continues to befuddle me. I haven't been able to make heads or tails of it for a long time - but at least when the mods edit things they're being helpful. Over at that other place I got flagged for using the acronym "PITA." - OK, Boomer 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
