Part 99

Happy Lammas Day! And...here are the
places where you can always find me:
Yesterday (or maybe earlier, but I didn't
notice) I got a notice from YouTube that I had a video with content that
might be contained in someone else's song. It wasn't exactly copyright
violation (I'm unclear on this), but I think it was something to do with
royalties. It turns out that the parody I
did, "What A Friend We Have in Cheeses", had already been done (and
better!) by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. In other words, we both used that
exact title and the same hymn-tune (I am assuming, since I haven't heard
their version). Their lyrics, however, are far superior to the ones I came
up with. But probably if it were me, I'd be thinking I'd been ripped off. I
had never heard of their version until yesterday, when someone on
Ukulele
Underground informed me that Nick Cave had already done it.

This is for
The No Copyright Claim Cover Campaign on Ukulele Underground. This song
is a cover of an original song on guitar by MrPlatypus70. Please go check
out his channel and
subscribe! Here is the
original song.

Will the summer EVER end?! ::sigh:: I hate the hot weather. >:-( I've been avoiding my computer and online in general for the last couple of weeks, just reading (books on my Kindle) and watching lots of stuff on DVD with Bunnicula (yay "Eureka"!). I needed to GAFIAte (Get Away From It All). I've peeked in on Twitter and my email off and on via my iPod Touch, but just did minimal stuff. Anyway, here is a video I did at the
end of July but only just uploaded this morning. This song is by Tom Paxton.

August 22, 2010, 10:34am: Today I left/resigned from
The Garden of Friendship,
due to time constraints. Too many things going on here at home. Some days I
don't even turn on my computer. My Garden of
Friendship dedication page/section is still up, though.

This is the story of one Irish tenant farming family
during the mass evictions that started in 1847. I wrote this after B. and I
had watched the TV series, "The Hanging Gale". This is my second
entry for the Bring the Song
Challenge. Lyrics below the video.

I still have gifts and awards and lots of other things I
should put up--I got way behind on that. Anyway, The Garden of Friendship is
a lovely group; and if you are looking for a nice group of folks to join
online, I highly recommend it!
