bumped into a lefty yiddish-interested friend at a party last nite who I haven't talked to in a few months and was rambling about how Montreal Jewish Public Library has a very fragile paper copy of this book and how wowed I was to see it 2 months back. 😍

My once and future collaborator Chaia is offering this 3-part online course:
"This class explores the tradition of Yiddish revolutionary folksong. Emerging from the revolutionary movements of early 20th century Eastern Europe, these songs carried the voices of workers and cultural activists who used them as tools of anti-fascist resistance, anti-Zionist organizing, and visions of Jewish communal identity."

Pitchers and sandwiches
No sniveling milksop
In which a drinking song lookup leads to a lurid 18th century rabbit hole.

Not only am I enough of a geek to have scripts that use pandoc, Python, and bash to assemble a pub songbook in epub format (a pub epub, as it were), now those scripts can check which song files are unknown to git and put them in a "New songs this edition" list at the front.

Maybe everyone else knew about this a decade ago but the Vancouver Morris Men have a 170+ page songbook online:
https://vancouvermm.weebly.com/uploads/2/5/0/3/25034121/vmm_songbook_2006.pdf
Not all the songs are suitable for a capella pub singing (Dedicated Follower of Fashion for instance) but there's a lot that is. Tunes are up to you.

We've had a couple of rehearsals for the Easterley gig (that's Emily Eastwood and me singing unaccompanied folk songs in harmony) at Nether Edge Folk Club in Sheffield on the 28th of this month.
Good news: We still know all the songs
News: After months of not singing because of extensive dental work, my singing stamina isn't what it should be. I need more practice!So tomorrow night, I will *definitely* be streaming folk songs on YouTube. Just me and #LoopyPro, as per usual.
The #TOTP pop picker aparters will just have to do without me.

Please enjoy this rocked–up version of a campaign song written for Lincoln’s presidential run.
Playing and singing this music made me feel hopeful and I hope some of that transmits to you through the music.
Any proceeds will be donated to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

... "tracing how folksong shaped Jewish life in Eastern Europe and how its meanings shifted through migration and memory. It also reflects on how the very act of interviewing contributed to the construction of the figure of the “Yiddish folksinger,” a powerful image that continues to shape how we understand Yiddish folksong today."

niche post incoming, but I was thinking of 2026 and one thing I'd love to do with is to come up with a concert of old Romanian and klezmer music from WWI-era NYC that I come across in my research. anyhow it got me thinking of this weird song that comes up in a few contexts, Hai la Raci, recorded here by Simon Paskal, a NY Yiddish recording artist who also recorded some Romanian discs.

In this Winter Solstice week, in this darkest time of the year — both literally and often metaphorically — this song is what brings me comfort. If ever there was a Solstice Carol, this is probably it.

Gordon Bok is a legendary Maine folk singer and Bok/Tricket/Muir is an incredible combination. I saw them live many times as a tyke.

And of course my sodding cold still hasn't shifted so rather than singing #folkSongs I'm watching #totp
I would *definitely* rather be singing than watching whatever this is.

Are we going to be going all Mitchell & Webb "Oh! That's a bad miss!" while we wait for Friday night's true king, #TOTP?
I would be streaming #folkSongs, but I've got the fucking flu.

Voice still clagged up with phlegm, so no #folkSongs stream tonight. Again. The new teeth are splendid though, so as soon as my throat's in a happy place I'll be back, baby back.
The #TOTP pop picker-aparters will just have to put up with another week of my bullshit.

Oops! Nearly forgot to switch my VPN back to the UK in time for #TOTP!
Not in singing fettle, so no singing #folkSongs tonight, just shitposting about old pop music.

I have new teeth! (Well… bridges) My diction is immeasurably improved.
The plan was that I was going to be streaming #folkSongs on Youtube tonight for the first time since I had pretty much my entire top set pulled at the beginning of summer.
So, of course, I have a fucking cold.
Next week.

Musical Interlude: With the autumnal equinox right around the corner (Monday, actually), this song has been on my mind. There's tons of wonderful versions of it; it's a great song for beginners, and I've found all sorts of lovely variations by different people. But I think it's important to present it straightforward and direct, like we have here.
"The Last Rose of Summer," performed by Renee Fleming.

"This Land Is Your Land" is a song by #AmericanFolk singer #WoodyGuthrie. One of the #UnitedStates' most famous #folkSongs, its lyrics were written in 1940 in critical response to #IrvingBerlin's "#GodBlessAmerica". Its #melody is based on a #CarterFamily tune called "When the World's on Fire". When Guthrie was tired of hearing #KateSmith sing "God Bless America" on the radio in the late 1930s.
