A bit of idiosyncratic Calypso courtesy of the sadly departed Bernard Cribbins - maybe not PC, but still really funny - 'Oh Mrs Ware, I do like your hair, who does it? I go to Madame Pompom's round by the gasworks' always had me in stitches.

Chris Wood's 'Mad John' turned up on an old CD this weekend and shortly after I noticed this great report in the Guardian about 'Right to Roam' -
it seemed so appropriate and timely, and includes Sam Lee and an oak tree.
Here's Chris doing a great job of the song accompanied by Henry Dagg and the pin barrel harp.
I'm not sure they go brilliantly together, but it sounds wonderfully idiosyncratic, if ever anything was.

On that specially curated mixtape from the World Music Archives that went out on the MP slot on Saturday, I particularly enjoyed this piece from the grasslands of Burkina Faso - 'Domon-Nye'.

On Friday I met a couple of pals who had come from Glasgow to Dundee for the day. After a visit to the V&A we headed up the Perth Road to a great wee bar and passed a record shop which had a box outside offering passers-by the chance to take advantage of the notice: 'all vinyl in the box free - take this rubbish off our hands' - among all the rubbish I found a double LP by Germany's harmony singers from the inter-war years, 'The Comedian Harmonists' whom I first heard from Joe Boyd's A-Z. Getting it back home I found it to be in reasonable nick and a bargain at twice the price. Here's their take on 'Creole Love Song', from 1933, it would appear.
Have an enjoyably idiosyncratic Monday.Comment

Nice find, John. I have them on a Christmas tape I made pre- CD.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostComment

....is there any research done as to whether these Creoles found love successfully using this device....[let alone their German offshootists]

I see that it's Labor (sic) Day in them there Disunited States. Here's a classic workers' song from Joe Glazer courtesy of those good people at Smithsonian Folways - 'Too Old to Work' (...and too young to die).
