Members garthman Posted January 1, 2021 Members Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year everyone. Let us hope that it is a better one. A letter to the Archaeologia Cambrensis in 1849 described an old New Year Day custom in Pembrokeshire, South Wales where the children of the village collected water from the well and sprinkled droplets of water (called "levy-dew") onto passers-by whilst singing a rhyme. The words were used by Walter de la Mare under the title "A New Year Carol" in his 1931 book "Tom Tiddler's Ground" where it was seen in 1934 by British composer Benjamin Britten who composed a melody for it.

Members Idunno Posted January 1, 2021 Members Share Posted January 1, 2021 Good post, good spirit and interesting stuff. I can visualize children wandering through the town singing this, sprinkling water in the faces of people they meet, and some of the people ducking saying they already gave (suffered the solicitation) on a previous street corner. I suppose this harks back to one of history's lessons (going forward) about not going out on the first day of the new year to avoid the crazies. Re: 2021. Not recognizing it until I can see the trailer. Any mail received in 2021 will be returned and marked: "Return to sender, annum unknown". Good song and well played, sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted February 18, 2021 Members Share Posted February 18, 2021 Okay, here's my latest, short but I hope sweet. Our church launched a project for Lent in which various musically inclined members would take a Bible verse (or two) from a list, usually from the Psalms, and set them to music (with the stipulation that you have to use the exact words of the verse) to help folks remember them. Other members are creating original art to go along with the verses. I chose Psalm 18:18-19. The art for that verse will include a rainbow and/or landscape. I used the passage twice and wrote a bridge with a reference to rainbows. Herewith, I present "God Delighted in Me." https://soundcloud.com/david-phelps-681437607/god-delighted-in-me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members recordingtrack1 Posted February 27, 2021 Members Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hello pickers. I wasn't sure this place still existed. I decided I would look around and was amazed to find that I could even sign in. Not sure how long it's been but I'm kind of happy. Used to have a lot of stupid arguments about bridge pins and Laminate versus solid wood B/S. What for, I can't remember. Had too much time on my hands I suppose. I first came here in March of 2006. That's been about 30 guitars ago, LOL. Anyway, Just thought I'd stop by and say hi and see if anybody wanted to argue about the best way to mic an acoustic guitar for recording. Garthman. You still sound like Roger Waters to me. Loved your Dylan tune. Deepend. Glad to see you are here. Freeman, Joe, Misha, Carman, Queequeg Kwak (I'll have to dig back in my memory, there were so many good players on here.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
