Hey girl you ever seen a muskrat? With their little naked worm tails? Btw we’re gonna get married

As we've all been invited to swear, I might (finally) learn this tune to use on the occasion. Dots are here: https://thesession.org/tunes/18665

The Talking West Virginia Blues

In folk music a “floating” verse is one that floats around and appears in lots of songs. When you’re singing a tune and you’ve sung all the verses you know but you don’t want to quit yet, you might throw in a floating verse—like this one: Oh, the winds they do whistle, And the waters do moan. I’m a poor boy in trouble. I’m a long way from home. I’m quoting folk tunes from memory here, so I may be…

SPOILERS FOR THE PRISONER'S THRONE

The first thing that stuck out to me in TPT is Oak's official heir party. Cardan says,

"That Oak, son of Liriope and Dain of the Greenbriar line, is my heir, and should I pass from this world, he will rule in my place and with my blessing."

While Jude says,

"Oak, son of Liriope and Dain of the Greenbriar line, raised by Oriana and Madoc, my brother, is my heir, and when I pass from the world, he shall rule in my place and with my blessing."

These vows that highlight Jude's mortalilty is so sad. Cardan says that if he dies then Oak will rule while Jude says when she dies. Holly Black please don't let this be a Jude death foreshadowing 😭

[DEMON GATE ADVANCES]

HOLY HELL. ok listen i need to talk about this one because I resorted to bassoonposting just to take the edge off of the insanity that is DEMON GATES.

Demon Gates features the following time signatures: 2/2, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 8/4, 12/4, 9.5/4, 17/8, 23/16, 24/16, and 25/16.

Time signature is sorta subjective when you don't have official sheet music, but I'm confident about most of these measurements. The big exception being the 9.5/4, which could vary by plus or minus one eighth of a beat depending on my analysis of four different in-game recordings of the same track. It marks the transition from phase 1 to phase 2, so it might be a dynamic thing. I stuck with 9.5/4 because it's badass lol.

With 25 hours of total work time, this was by far the most challenging music project I've ever done, and it was a blast!!! I hope you all enjoy!

Race for Refugees - 30 Tunes, 30 Days!

Hey everyone,

TL/DR: I'm going to be recording and releasing 30 folk tunes on my violin for the month of September in support of Refugee Action! You can sponsor me here:

Like most people here in the UK, I've been horrified by the events of the last few weeks. Now more than ever, it's time to show solidarity, stand up against hate and discrimination, and demand a fairer future for refugees and people seeking safety in the UK.

Refugee Action support refugees' rights and services across the UK. Race for Refugees runs for the month of September - it's a race for hope, with a difference - participants take on a challenge of their choice for the month!

I'm a folk musician. I grew up with a genuine love for the folk music traditions of the UK. I've played in folk rock groups and ceilidh bands, covering traditional songs and dance tunes. But I'm perhaps not the type of person you immediately picture when you think of UK trad-folk!

My grandpa was an immigrant from Ghana in the 1950s and was blessed to be able to build a wonderful life here. I think we should demand nothing less for today's immigrants, especially those seeking safety and asylum.

Every day in September, I'm going to be recording and releasing a traditional fiddle tune from the British isles in support of refugees. There'll be jigs, reels, hornpipes and strathspeys aplenty!

Please sponsor me if you can, and help support refugees across the UK!

Thank you!

WHO was going to tell me that the Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird is set to the tune of Streets of Laredo/The Unfortunate Rake??!?!!? And it’s WRITTEN LIKE THAT IN THE BOOK?!?!???!

Like the fact that it’s supposed to be her lamenting her own impending death?? And she chose the most famous folk song about someone lamenting their impending death??? Hello?!??
