The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

My "bad mommy alert" stems directly from the fact that most modern day parents would go into hysterics if they even heard someone mention whiskey and 7 month old in the same sentence!

Yeah, well. Look around you (present company excluded). A good number of "modern day parents" are idiots.

Our little one's surgery is scheduled for March 10. That was the soonest we can get him in. But we have to get him well first anyway. Dr. called in a prescription for strep today.

Sadly, that is too true.

OK, time for the prayer warriors to get warmed up. :)

LOL! The last time I had a snowplow on my street was after that 20 inches in 2000. I ended up with a 2 foot speed bump in my driveway.

4. Morgan Magan
5. Si Bheag Si Mor
6. Brenda Stubbert’s
7. Carolan’s Welcome
8. Johnny’s Gone To France / Cooley’s Reel
9. Down Home Waltz
10. Lady Gethin
11. My Love She’s But a Lassie / Over the Waterfall / St. Anne’s Reel
12. Captain Henry O’Kain
13. Cheticamp / Spootiskerry
14. Sonny’s Mazurka
15. Sailor’s Hornpipe

At least a few that you folks know, right? Star of the County Down is the same as one of the hymns on Starkindler...trying to remember which one without luck. I can check when I get home. I know it's one you were learning recently, OT.

Quite a few non-Irish tunes, but who's to know? ;-)

Can you change #8 to "Johnny's Gone to France to Kick Their Whiney Arse?"

Um...we can THINK of it that way in our own minds, but announcing it that way at a church supper might not go over well...

It's "I Heard the voice of Jesus Say".

How about "Kick Their Whiney Hiney?"

Yes, that's it! Though we do a 3/4 time one instead of a 4/4 time...as I recall, the one on Starkindler is 4/4.

Very pretty melody. I play fingerstyle guitar on that one...which I haven't been doing much later. I played the intro during practice last night and was embarrassingly rusty. Sigh! I need more free time!

Umm...welll...

I'll be sure to tell my Dad about the new title, but I still think maybe it would be best played without a verbal introduction...
