More "before times" fun--go to PS1, peruse bookstore and award-winning periodicals section there, have a drink there, go to Xian Famous Foods (which burned to the ground right before the pandemic alas) and then go across the street to Book Culture. Finish up with a drink at Domine's Hoek LIC. Sigh.

Fun fact about the character "õ"--it's a vowel unique to spoken Estonian; it is in no other language on Earth. Hard to explain how it sounds--tongue against the back teeth but clear of front teeth; kind of pronounced like the long middle e in "Eeeew"

Thanks David for this trip into Rantin' Laddie / Lord Aboyne! Really beautiful to move through the facets of a ballad in this kind of sequence. Glad to be tuning in and to learn that this kind of treatment of the ballads is a weekly feature here! Gonna have to check back into the archives for sure to catch on up! I've been making my way through singing the ballad tunes recorded Bronson’s volume “The traditional tunes of the Child ballads” over the past few months at home, and loved listening in to the variations in those you just presented.

i think there's a Seainfeld episode where George does just that, βrian and Threemoons.... it's also horrible in San Francisco (besides street cleaning, there's also a rule that requires moving a car every 72 hours, though that one isn't as strictly enforced (unless someone complains) i had a great spot for that.) i don't miss that *having moved out of the city in October) -- it's nice to have a driveway again

Another booming niche economy right here in Astoria--people who rent a level of a multi-family house that has a garage but don't have a car--they sell off their parking space on a monthly basis. If a key is needed, usually the LL gets a cut also.

@Hi David- I’ve just been singing a ballad for 30 or so minutes each evening while putting our 2 month old daughter to bed. The long ballads with their repeated melodies seem beautifully suited for that kind of zone…. even if some of the subject / thematic matter might be a bit intense and heavy, to put it lightly, ha! (Bronson’s book is kind of the musical companion to Child’s work, collecting all the known transcriptions and published melodies associated with a given ballad). Last night was am 18 stanza version of “Babylon, Child no 14.,first published in 1827 in Kinloch’s Ancient Scottish Ballads as “The Duke of Perth’s Three Daughters. Broson’s work assembling all these materials is great and deeply scholarly, but no doubt it would be lovely to have a physically smaller edition which was laid out for actual use by singers, with the melody notation and text consistently on the same page, and perhaps some nice illustrations as well to make the page look pretty for the kids to look at… but as far as I know, no one has ever published such a thing).

YETI BOB:

At a lecture demonstration I once attended in Seattle, Washington, Dumisani
Maraire, a visiting artist from Zimbabwe, walked onto the stage carrying a round-
box resonator with a fifteen-key instrument inside. He turned toward the audi-
ence and raised the round-box over his head. “What is this?” he called out.
There was no response.
“All right,” he said, “it is an mbira; M-B-I-R-A. Now what did I say it was?”
A few people replied, “Mbira; it is an mbira.” Most of the audience sat still
in puzzlement.
“What is it?” Maraire repeated, as if slightly annoyed.
More people called out, “Mbira.”
“Again,” Maraire insisted.
“Mbira!” returned the audience.
“Again!” he shouted. When the auditorium echoed with “Mbira,” Maraire
laughed out loud. “All right,” he said with good-natured sarcasm, “that is the
way the Christian missionaries taught me to say ‘piano.’ ”
