Ernest Black: lyrics
Jore: music



Early morn to the woods I go
beyond the pines where the river flows.
O waters of destiny carry me
to the arms of my lover beyond the sea.

For it has been too many years
since I left my home in tears,
my only dream your hand in mine:
what solace that would be to find.

Across the river and o'er the fields
unto true love my heart now yields.
I raise a glass in welcoming,
may joy rise up from the songs we sing.

Tramping endless twisted highways,
late night rain-soaked country byways;
deserts, mountains and a bridge too far,
following that lonely star.

John says stay, a storm is brewing,
the world outside is like a ruin.
Ceaseless rain has closed the road,
the river rising stirs the soul.

Across the river and o'er the fields
unto true love my heart now yields.
I raise a glass in welcoming,
may joy rise up from the songs we sing.

Here the river with ice encrusted
betrays the man who cannot be trusted.
He tries to cross but the ice collapses,
silence shutters soul synapses.

But we are not the hollow man
who takes for himself all he can.
We stand together in love entangled,
by sharing we are all enabled.

Across the river and o'er the fields
unto true love my heart now yields.
I raise a glass in welcoming,
may joy rise up from the songs we sing.

All dark but for the lonely star,
a warning beacon from afar.
Latitude of hope longitude of love,
scanning the sky for the lonely dove.

The storm breaks, the star alone
guides me true the long way home.
I find a ship and the ocean cross,
and I will see you before the frost.

Across the river and o'er the fields
unto true love my heart now yields.
I raise a glass in welcoming,
may joy rise up from the songs we sing.

When I look back, precious memories and times...
I'll reminisce about my own time.

"I wanted to make music that can touch my heart without lyrics and music for healing my mind."

Listen to the lyrical guitar melody and have a healing time.

78rpm Disc 184: George Tapley: The Chorus Jig (reel)

The week's disc features accordionist George Tapley - along with accompaniment from Dan Sullivan - on The Chorus Jig. Which is actually a reel. The Traditional Tune Archive notes that 'Linscott (1948) explains: "The 'Chorus Jig' has always been a favorite with pipers. It is an Irish melody whose author and date are unknown. Jigs were originally tunes sung after a play by the clowns. During the 17th century everyone sang them, and the dances were performed by persons of all ranks. They are generally thought of as Irish, but jigs were common in England and Scotland. The word 'jig' applied to a form of rhyme and is of uncertain derivation."' (https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Chorus_Jig_(1)).

This was recorded in 1929 and released on the Victor label (V-29065). From the Ted McGraw Collection, McGraw 78 03-191.

George Tapley: The Chorus Jig (reel)

We posted many versions about five years ago.  see: https://soundcloud.com/newshoe/sets/walking-in-the-parlor-playlist   I thought a little redo today would offset a rather overcast and damp day over here.

Gaspe Reel

I have collected various tunes I have heard and tried them on my accordion from time to time over the years .    

Sometimes the tunes just need to escape from my head and get some air.  A first take with a little pruning from this afternoon.

This site can be seen as a musical tale of the members of the band called The Mescaline Smugglers: Davy McGowan, Jore Heikkila and Tuomas Laitila. But it also includes their other bands, and bands in which they play together in different combinations or solo projects, before and after The Mescaliners. Listen to one track a day and maybe you'll have heard everything after 5 or 6 years. That should make you feel better - money back guarantee!

Music,
centered on dance but I made the circle very,
very wide, from everywhere, for everyone.
Enjoy.

My linux won't boot so I'm presently forced to use Windows, and because of the bug in Soundcloud's system my account is all messed up when I don't use a VPN to connect which I am unable to do now... trying to get help from my VPN provider.  Because of this, and because I started working very long days I will be less present here.  Sorry, I'm trying.

Hi,
"Tracks: 0" is wrong, it should read 40.
Ever since the closing of this account by error by SC two or three months ago, this problem has remained unfixed.  Soundcloud and their AI are apparently still working on solving this and other problems with this account, and with my other account ; )

2024/01/29:
What I wrote below was heart felt but presumptuous and pretentious.  I would have to not be stupid myself to be allowed to claim such a thing.  More importantly though, I don't believe it is correct or accurate.  These people are probably not stupid but just don't care.  Justice is a collective thing and many if not most people seem to live in bubbles.  It is perhaps economic oppression which is responsible, they just don't have the resources, the time, the energy to be concerned about what lies behond that bubble.  It used to be fine but there's this thing they call globalization which makes this increasingly impractical or impossible.

mid January 2024:
Justice and vengeance are not the same.  Apparently most people are too stupid to see the difference.  Unfortunately it is not something unique to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and not unique to group conflicts.

What happened to intelligence?  Aren't we supposed to be the "intelligent" specie.

Here's the other account, for celebrities, ... this one here is for regular folks:

I love you.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
