Helen Poole at The Bridge Folk Club – Try To Remember (Words, Tom Jones; Music, Harvey Schmidt)
Helen Poole at The Bridge Folk Club, 16 September 2024
Try To Remember (Words, Tom Jones; Music, Harvey Schmidt)
We’re deep in December now and as the song says, “Deep in December, it's nice to remember the fire of September that made us mellow.” It is a song about nostalgia from the musical comedy play The Fantasticks (1960)
The Tom Jones who wrote the lyrics was the American songwriter, not the Welsh singer

Bill Dodds at The Bridge Folk Club - The Year The Crops Failed (Written by Bill) In 1739 the weather in the UK was awful.

This tradition was common among craft workers from at least the 1600s and re...

I love it played on a 12 string.
Coole Darbietung😊
I appreciated this. Thank you.
I love this. Thank you.
Oh, wow, what a song. Well done, Adam 👏👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏
A legend. R.
Indeed
Find others and play with other accomplishments... It'll be great
They like everything I like. I can't hew but I can drink! Do I qualify? Loved it. R.
There's a seat with your name on it at the bar, Roger
Delightful. ❤
Love it. Thanks. R.
Oh my. That was something that will stick with me. Well done. Thank you.
Thers a Face Book page?
Indeed there is, Janene The videos on Facebook are the same as the ones we post to TH-cam every day but we upload to both because some people prefer one channel over the other Anyone looking for the club’s Facebook page can reach it at Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057571355171
Thanks I found it. @@Bridge_Folk_Club
Beautiful. Thank you.
Excellent rendition!
Wonderful. Very timely. He has captured the division I am feeling in America. Thank you. I like the mix of old and new here.
Jez is definitely a gifted, top writer. He has very generously put lyrics to quite a few songs on his website at www.jezlowe.com/lyrics/. ‘Not My Tribe’ isn’t there at present but there are plenty of others
Yes, please. (I want more). Thanks. R.
You know a virtuoso when you see one and I just did this guy is it
Too funny. He did it well, however. Thank you.
Keep 'em coming Mike, the world needs more folk music.
Thanks, Jim
Delightfully sung. Thank you for this rare offering.
One of my favourite Bob Pegg (Mr Fox) songs and this is a great rendition.
Very nicely done! 👏👏👏
Again I need to thank you for the music, and the history behind the songs. They mean so much more to me when I read the background.
Thanks again for your continuing support, Janene. Some songs are wonderful just for themselves but lots of others have fascinating backstories and, like you, I love to understand how the lyrics have been influenced by circumstances
@Bridge_Folk_Club btw, if you are an art lover, Artwhisperer88 will be showing a few of my art pieces on his TH-cam channel soon. Maybe even tomorrow. He just emailed to let me know. Janene
@@janenef I'll certainly check it, thank you
@@janenef Hi Janene I’ve tried to get to Artwhisperer88 on TH-cam but the only thing I’ve been able to access was a video advertising the channel. I seem to have hit a brick wall. Sometimes videos aren’t available in all countries so maybe it’s an area thing If your work has been published I might be able to see it if you copy the exact link and send it to me, and if you’d rather have a conversation outside of TH-cam you’re welcome to email it to me at donellyg8z@gmail.com
Johnny is a bright star. I love it.
We all owe such a lot to Johnny. He was a huge influence during the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s and he is still entertaining us. Wonderful
Love performance, but what is the word I cant figure out. Sounds like danno
Hi Janene I’ll have a listen tomorrow night and check. Would ‘den - oh’ make sense?
@@Bridge_Folk_Club yes.
@@janenef Excellent
HO!
Beautifully done man!
I can spot gudn's and these are good. Thanks so much. R.
Thanks, Roger Liz and Flynn did a terrific guest night at The Bridge Folk Club and we’ll be posting more during the next few weeks for everyone to enjoy. Keep watching
Thank you for the music and the timely history lesson.
Thanks, Janene. I don’t know what happens in schools and colleges across the pond but over here in the UK the standard curriculum has huge gaps in the teaching of the struggles and persecution of ordinary working people. That’s just an observation, not a political comment, but when I’m in charge things will change! Anyway, it’s great that we have a lot of history to enjoy and learn from folk ballads Gan canny (stay well, take care)
Thanks for song and notes. Thorougly enjoyed it.
Finlay goes well with this. I'm most impressed that he appreciates the music of a past master and his want to perform it. R.
A good combination. R.
Wonderful. Enjoyed immensely. Thank you.
Delightful group and song. Thank you.
Probably my favourite of Bert's own compositions. Very nicely played and sung.
Perfect choice. Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you, Mary.
Couldn't get much better than this. Three cheers.
Well done. Thank you.
So fare ye well cold winter, fare ye well cold frost Nothing have I gained, me own true love I’ve lost I’ll drink and I’ll be merry when occasion I do see I’ll rest when I am weary let her go farewell she Last night I saw me true love in yonder shady grove She gave to me a smile, she gave to me a rose She thought I should have spoke to her as she was passing by Before I’ll humble to my love I’ll lay me down and die For if she has another lover and she treats me as a joke She thinks in her heart this will me provoke If she has another lover well I hope they both agree I rejoice at twenty let her go farewell she Take half a pound of reason a quarter pound of sense A small sprig of thyme and as much of prudence Mix them all together and then you’ll plainly see She’s a false deluding lover let her go farewell she
👍👍👍👍👍
brilliant artist either solo or with his bad pennies, one of the country,s finest song writers.
Love it. One I've never heard. Thanks heaps. R.
Delightful. Thank you.
Thank you for your description. I had not a clue what the lyrics meant. Very enjoyable.
Truly fantastic.
Lovely! This appears to be a variant of 'Locks and Bolts', 'Back o' Benachie', 'I dreamed last night of my true love' (See MainlyNorfolk).
I hadn’t realised the connection but you’re quite right. Thanks for pointing it out
Bill Dodds is one of my favorites. Thank you again.
Thanks, it's a great song isn't it.
Well sung, sir. Thank you.
