We're now inviting organisations which hold these collections to submit their details for inclusion in the Scottish Traditional Music Archive Directory.

In today's video I play the Dorset folk song "The Sprig of Thyme". My arrangement is based on one by Cecil Sharp, first published in 1907. The style is a bit different to anything I've tried before, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Always wanted to see him live, and it sounds like this might be the last time he visits Australia as 'King Dude'.

Not what you asked for, but we recently played Evalyn Parry’s “She Rides” on our @accordionnoir radio show, which I only now realize is from a whole album of bike songs! 🚴🏼♀️

HEY are any of bike people here musicians?! I would really love to listen to "wilder than her" by dar williams with my partner but with bikes instead of cars.
Terrific song, thanks!
I also like a good cover. You may already know this one, an all-time favorite from 2004: Gillian Welch, her partner David Rawlings, and the Old Crow Medicine Show — all obviously having a blast performing an inspired version of "The Weight":
Here's a folk duo you've likely never heard of that have been around for decades. They're amazing musicians and story tellers:

Today in Labor History September 27, 1903: The Wreck of the Old 97 U.S. railroad disaster occurred on this date. 11 people were killed when the train, traveling from Monroe, Virginia, to Spencer, North Carolina derailed and careened off the side of a bridge. It was traveling at excessive speed in an attempt to stay on schedule. The wreck became the subject of a popular ballad covered by The Statler Brothers (feat. Johnny Cash), Charlie Louvin of The Louvin Brothers, Flatt and Scruggs, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, Hank Williams III, Patrick Sky, Nine Pound Hammer, Roy Acuff, Boxcar Willie, Lonnie Donegan, and many others.

Best part of my weekend was a Fall Fest at a local plant nursery that had a stage set up for #FolkMusic under a big tent. Organizers ALSO placed a music school table with #percussion instruments 15 yards away + a balloon table so kids could blow them up with provided pumps.
This meant the meager PA entertained the front 4 tables, but every table behind them could only hear toddlers & youngsters POUNDING drums, blocks, glockenspiels, etc & balloon pops every 10 secs. Caught some hilarious looks

#NowListening to my morning #playlist, once again.
I wrote out the playlist here: https://www.minorkey.net/
It is the one and only playlist I kept on Minor Key . Net after I deleted the site. It used to be a daily playlist website, but I was getting so, so much traffic I always felt pressured to buy more music and no one, not one person was contributing to the tip jar. Naturally, I felt like I was being used, which led to me deleting the site.
Spinning this mesmerizing new release from Sally Anne Morgan on this rainy Saturday morning as I cut up download codes for CDs.

Today I encountered this piece by Chris Partington, a contributor to the Village Music Project, an interesting little read about the proportion of different keys in historic print and MS tune compilations. It looks like D and G dominated English folk music well before the melodeon that is sometimes "blamed" for their prominence came along.

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 on FB:
' 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. '
I'm always so curious about the ingredients of a great #playlist. Music curator extraordinaire Kasey Gelsomino, the creator of "Oat Milk Lattes in the Mountains" on #spotify and Kasey's Playlist on #tiktok, shared her secrets with me in today's podcast conversation for @Flipboard:

Today in Labor History September 4, 1970: Socialist Salvador Allende was elected President of Chile. As president, he tried to nationalize major industries, expand education and improve conditions for the working class. On September 11, 1973 (the other 9/11), he was ousted in a coup by Augusto Pinochet, leading to a dictatorship that lasted until 1990. Thousands of workers, socialists, union members and activists were killed, including folk singer Victor Jara, who continued to sing, as his torturers mashed his fingers and demanded that he play his guitar. The coup and dictatorship were supported by the CIA, and by President Nixon, and by the Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, who later won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Here's is an interview & rare live footage of Jara singing his classic: El Derecho de Vivir en Paz.

So, for my #FolkMusic gig last night for the Downtown Windsor BIA #YQG I had a successful test of my #BikeFolker set up....
New bike trailer
JBL EON One compact PA
Yamaha Silent guitar
An excellent collapsible mic stand
And faaaar too many "just in case" cables...
A couple of conclusions
I love being less and less car dependent! Thanks @notjustbikes for putting me on that path 😉
I think I'll feel much better getting the padded backpack/case for the JBL... Like it might suffer less from the bumps and vibrations of it being in my bike trailer..... If anyone else out here has any experience with that sort of use case, please chime in (I wouldn't object to some boosts to help broaden my reach)
I really need to replace my decades old Boss TU2 tuner pedal... The LEDs are getting too dim to see even in the dark, even with my homemade Pedal Shade. (Wanna contribute? I'll sit on a cake for ya 😜 )
And man my legs hurt today 😁

Today in Labor History August 23, 1900: Folk and protest singer Malvina Reynolds was born in San Francisco, California. She is most famous for her song, "Little Boxes," a satire on suburbia, inspired by the tacky sprawl of housing in Daly City, just outside of San Francisco. And used as the theme music for the TV series “Weeds.” As a teen, the city’s elite Lowell High School refused to give her a diploma because her parents opposed US participation in World War I.

Today in Labor History August 19, 1909: The first edition of the IWW’s The Little Red Songbook was published in Spokane, WA. The book’s subtitle is “Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent.” Between 1909 and 1995, the Wobblies printed 36 editions. The songbook always includes songs by Joe Hill, Ralph Chaplin, T-Bone Slim, and Haywire Mac. Most editions contained many of the best-known labor songs, like "The Internationale," "The Preacher and the Slave," and "Solidarity Forever."

There has never been a time when people were making #Melodeon / button accordions of the quality they’re playing in European #FolkMusic right now
Similarly, a Louisiana #Accordion today is based on the $4 German button 🪗 they played back in the 1920s
But those folks would be shocked in many ways by the instruments they’re selling for $4,000 in Louisiana now
The German button boxes from the 1860s on were mass-market catalogue-items
So there were few Stratovarius level button-boxes to be saved
Thanks for your post, I appreciate it 🤩

"Running out of Hope, Arkansas" by #BrennenLeigh https://youtu.be/H1-QU9yvGBk
For anyone wondering whether I fixed that reed problem with my concertina, I can report that playing my instrument doesn't make me nuts any more. While I can still hear the buzz/sizzle if I listen very hard for it, the worst of the bad sound is gone.
Part of the issue was the harmonics of this particular concertina -- it definitely has its own little mystery spot -- but good instructional videos and advice helped me banish most of the problem.

Today in Labor History July 14, 1912: Folk singer Woody Guthrie was born. During World War II, he wrote the song "Talking Hitler's Head Off Blues." Around this time, he also painted THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS on his guitar. He saw fascism as a “form of economic exploitation similar to slavery.” During the Great Depression, he romanticized the deeds of outlaws like Jesse James and Pretty Boy Floyd as legitimate acts of social responsibility and protest against those who were responsible for the worsening social and economic conditions of working class people.
