Briggs Nursery was kind enough to let me move around all of their pots after a rainstorm and videotape. 1993. The original music video has just been upgraded from the original 1993 videotape. The song was one my mother sang to me when I was a child. Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
Strawberries on the vine about to ripen. Rhodies going and roses to come. Plague or not, it will be a good summer.
A higher quality version of this video streams off my website and can be downloaded from there.
PING to roses
Lyrics:
The pale moon was rising
Above the green mountain;
The sun was declining
Beneath the blue sea
When i strayed with my love
To the pure crystal fountain
That stands in the beautiful
Vale of Tralee.
She was lovely and fair
As the rose of the summer
Yet ‘twas not her beauty
Alone the won me
Oh, no! ‘twas the truth
In her eye ever dawning
That made me love Mary,
The rose of Tralee.
The cool shades of evening
Their mantle was spreading,
And Mary, all smiling,
Was listening to me,
The moon through the valley,
Her pale rays was shedding
When I won the heart
Of the rose of Tralee.
Though lovely and fair
As the rose of the summer
Yet ‘twas not her beauty
Alone that won me
Oh, no! ‘twas the truth
In her eye ever dawning
That made me love Mary,
The rose of Tralee
That’s how I react to it, too.
No thanks, I'll just go to Youtube where you ripped it off from and get an even better version...........
Are you crazy? I made the video originally in 1993. I’ve made 842 videos. And the music has been approved by the owner. Where do you get ideas like that?
As for the quality, you must be quite ignorant of video creation. YouTube mungs whatever videos you put up so that they minimize the size. It results in bad movement and lousy dissolves. Because I stream my own video, I can put up high quality pieces and take the space hit, resulting in smooth moves and smooth dissolves. Where DO you get ideas like that?
So you're Mary Van Deusen?
Why are you being such an ass?
No more of an ass than you usually are.........
I always question someone when they say see my website........Sheesh!
I am. I use my full name on theconservativetreehouse. Here, I use the name my 2 1/2 year old niece mispronounced when she lived with us. Memories are good.
There’s no advertising on my website. Never has been. I’ve refused my videos to research libraries that intended to put them on tapes and sell them to finance their research. All international copy centers for my work ALWAYS reproduced them at cost with no profit to anyone.
And the same goes for the Henry Livingston website. No ads anywhere. They’re informational. Back in the old, original days, much of my site was referenced by Wiki for genealogy and for the Night Before Christmas controversy. This new, leftie Wiki tends to no longer reference my sites much.
But I have, for example, entire books that I scanned and transcribed on my site, as well as Henry Livingston’s original music manuscript, and the only copy of Clement Moore’s poetry manuscript that I went to NY to photograph and transcribe. There’s 15K pages in each of the 2 sites and they overflow with information that I push out for the benefit of researchers.
When mother was dying, she asked how everything she knew could just disappear. She had a photographic memory. It was nails on a blackboard. And I was determined that what I learned - and I’m a researcher - would NOT disappear. Thus, my websites. No ads, just more information than you’ll absorb in this life or the next.

Were you: Raised very poorly, choose to reflect your parent/s poorly?
I’m usually curious when someone treats someone poorly and reacts as if they’re been victimized, themselves.
then for that I offer my apology. To avoid confusion, you should have said that that Youtube video posted was yours and that the link to your site was a better version..........Thank you
Stay out of this dude, this is between me and Mairdie and we have just reconciled our differences..........
If you want to bring parents into this discussion then you'd better shut up while you can.......
Apology accepted. Since I’ve been posting my videos for a couple of years here, I thought it was pretty clear what the videos were and what my site was. I’d even started adding MVD to creator. I’ll try to be more explicit on the next one, which will be the art in the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in St Petersburg, to Rachmaninov’s “All Night Vigil.”
I link to my site for great grandfather’s life-long defense of Civil War figures he worked with when he was one of the Special Judge Advocates for the Lincoln assassination trial. Also for the details of the proof of Clement Moore stealing Night Before Christmas from Henry Livingston. (Proof based on movement of the tongue in the mouth between words.) There’s also original letters and poetry from 7th great grandfather, Governor Lewis Morris, that I collected from Rutgers. Morris co-wrote the first American play. And a paper that 6th great grandfather Edward Antill wrote about the cultivation of grape vines, for which he won an award for creating the first wine to match the European wines. Hint: I wouldn’t follow his advice for using dung as a sealant.
And if you’ve ever wondered about the contest to design the American Department of Defense language that became Ada, I’ve got up the history of the requirements and the reference manual for the runner up language - ours - which I still believe to be the better language. Jean Ichbiah won the French Legion of Honor for designing the American defense language.
You can also learn how to cure diseases of the eye with electricity (carefully, 1803 version) after collecting the electricity with your lightning rod. Or read the Psalms and Hymns of Henry’s brother, Rev Dr John Henry Livingston. Though I’m not that enamored of his paper, also on the site, on why you shouldn’t marry the sibling of your deceased spouse. And you can watch most of the 842 videos made over 35 years.
The websites are a researcher’s playpen.
Thanks
Thanks, so how does one actually access your website? Do you have a link?
/familytree will take you to General Burnett and all the genealogy material, other than Henry Livingston. Use /computer for all the Ada material.
Books are usually under the person they’re associated with. For example, General Burnett, Edward Antill, etc.
Actually, I just saw a link to the spec script sent to the Forever Knight people. Didn’t realize that was up. Did script writing after I retired and had 2 movie scripts repped by Writers&Artists in Hollywood. No sales. Sigh.

will take you to EVERYTHING to do with the controversy over the authorship of Night Before Christmas. It has some links into the research (add /data), though I also keep a non-public website where I do the research with the two professors with whom I worked. /music takes you to his turn of the 19th century music mss. I hired an actor who played Henry for the Trial Before Christmas (Henry won and Troy NY named the day Henry Livingston Day.) to recite his poetry, which I’ve illustrated with antique postcards.
If there’s anything that interests you - Rev War, Civil War, etc and it’s buried too deep, just freepmail me and I’ll guide you anywhere. My interests are broad and deep. I’m into a great many subjects and correspond with people on the weirdest topics.
