A satirical song that takes a pop at the Puritans of the 16th and 17th centuries. Hey Then Up Go We. Accompanied by the horns and trumpets sections of the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

A nice #Romanian #cimbalom track I'd never heard before on the youtube channel of my friend Paul Gifford, historian of hammered dulcimers and cimbaloms who collects music, postcards, etc. about Romanian music too.
"Iancu Burcea Cârlig [...] came to New York City to play with [Fanica] Luca at the World's Fair. Because of imminent war, he stayed in America until his return to Romania a couple of years before his death. He recorded six sides for Decca in 1939."

Today in Labor History September 11, 1973: The CIA helped overthrew the democratically elected government of Allende in Chile. This ended nearly 150 years of democratic rule. Also killed in the coup were folk singer Victor Jara, and American IWW journalist Frank Teruggi. Jara courageously continued singing Venceremos (We Shall Win) while he lay on the ground, hands broken by his torturers, as they slaughtered hundreds in the national stadium. 16 years of military terror followed under Pinochet’s rule. Chilean-American author Isabel Allende is a cousin of the assassinated former president, Salvador Allende. She wrote her debut novel, “House of the Spirits,” while in exile in Venezuela, after fleeing the Pinochet dictatorship.

Ahh, another sweet night under the stars sharing music last night.

I think I do this for the moments where someone tells me they heard something they needed to hear.

It's sometimes easier to wave off and pretend they don't, but some of these songs mean a lot to me, too.

One dance out left. Some of the exchange group would like me to play them an “English waltz” at it but apparently the samples I offered them, Harry Gidley’s from the West Country and the Veleta as played in Suffolk don’t count… I think they really just want slow and a bit less oom-pah-pah feeling?
Ideas and advice on how to make a #waltz more English, anyone?

Searched #cimbalom on #bandcamp to find something new and was not disappointed. One of the results was this award winning album by Tcha Limberger's group playing very old fashioned Hungarian string band music. So good. I actually have a ton of LPs in this genre from the 1960s but not recent.

I knew about Tcha from Youtube over the past 15 years or so but that's about it. Apparently a real gifted multi-instrumentalist.

INTERVIEW: The legendary Ed Snodderly talks the "bare-bones art" of songwriting, political music that uplifts, and what he likes to see at venues.

ALBUM REVIEWS: I missed a bunch of albums over the last two years. Here are some recent ones that are great!

- Jesse Daniel Edwards' self-loathing pop on Violensia
- Rissi Palmer kicks ass (as usual) on her Still Here EP
- The Prairie Joggers evoke the '70s on their wistful Going Nowhere EP
- Who Is She? brings the fun back to indie rock

This is the last part of a Pure Laine fiddle competition in Quebec -- the most intense fiddle contest I've ever seen.

From my friend Chris, who posted this video:

' Contestants take turns playing the A part (16 measures) of a reel of their choice. It has to be in the key indicated by the judge on suggestions from the audience. There can't be a break. And they can't play a tune that has already been played. '

#3GoodThings on a drizzly/cloudy #Thursday

1. Music: All week I've been on an indie folk/freak folk/psychedelic folk kick: Today's been all about working/driving while listening to the Fleet Foxes but tonight is going to be all about the Incredible String Band 💜
2. My periodic restock of artisan/hand-made beeswax/soy wax candles. I ordered from three different local candlemakers this time and they all arrived today. Cannot describe how excited I am.
3. I like this weather. As Anne Shirley would say, "there's so much scope for the imagination!"

Thhe latest #FolkOnFoot podcast was a delight!

I still haven't found an equivalent aggregator of USian folk, but I haven't put my full shoulder to the task.

Reminder to myself to check out #SimplyFolk on Wisconsin Public Radio.

Recs for other folk radio out there?

Something of a belated #introduction (hello wandering.shop!)

Hi!

I'm a folk singer and musician, a sometime sailor, and new for this year, a cancer survivor (woo!). I'm also queer as heck. Oh! And relevant to the 'shop, I read a ton of SFF. Especially from the beautiful diverse voices that have been published in the past 15 years or so!

I talk about all of these things and more.

Maybe my most SF song, the third verse of "Sweet Time Passing"

Have been listening to a bunch of new old tracks by this #Greek fiddler Alexis Zoumbas today, they're all great but this Romanian-style doina is so excellent. Some quality fiddling.
