Open Mouth, produce song.

Ok, time to sing a lot again. Outside of my favorite 5, what song would you have me practice so you can hear me sing it sometime?



The Favorite Five:

1. Conn of Calontir's "Crusader Song" aka "Holy Land Sailing"
2. Siobhan the Fiddler's "To the West"
3. Trad, "The Parting Glass"
4. Stan Rodgers, "Barrett's Privateers"
5. "Vitrum Nostrum"

Spot doesn't count, but it's still here.

Dance Songs? Calontiri marching Songs? Show tunes? Burden of the Crown? Hey Landskenect (Gerhard)?

Perhaps I should find some 14th century stuff for the play date. Hmm. Any suggestions?

I'd love to hear you sing Machaut's "Comment Qu'a Moi Lonteinne"--but I don't know when I'd have the opportunity (OTOH, we might have to fly to the Bay Area for shawm maintenance, so never say Never).

Machaut!

"Comment Qu'a" is one of my favorites! If you can't twist JT's arm into singing it when you are in town, let me know and I'll happily fill in!

Shawm maintenance... Does Geoffy-Matt know about this???

Excellent. I'd like to set up a dinner at my place late August/Early September and learn this from you, if you're available. I can promise fresh tomatoes.
