Valerie Enterprises?

[Fred Schneider]

Help! Does anyone have the address and phone number of Valerie Enterprises
handy? This is the outfit run by Valerie Rogers, Stan and Garnet's mother
which distributes their music. I wanted to order something, and can't
find the flyer. Could someone please post and/or email the info?

Thanks,
Fred

I just picked up the hannibal reissue of the brit folk-rock all star
album MORRIS ON, to find that the 2nd last track "Cuckoo's Nest"
is "BLEEPED" when the line "we'll get pissed" or something like
that comes out!!!!

Is this something hannibal added or is the lp this way too? Is it just
the lads playing a joke?

Wonderful album, horribly difficult to find!

Knowing the character of John Kirkpatrick & Assoc., and of Morris
folk in general, I find it difficult to believe that the bleep over
"pissed" was anything but a bit of studio fun.

I mean, after all, if you're going to bleep "pissed" and be at all
sincere about it, you can't follow it with "Cuckoo's Nest."

The bleep, which is in the exit track ("Morris Off"?) rather than
"Cuckoo's Nest", is on the original Island LP from the mid-1970's.

It's a *great* album, and all you Richard Thompson/Fairport/Steeleye
enthusiasts should add it to your collections. John Kirkpatrick, in an
interview somewhere, recently described his work on this album as the
best career move he ever made...

Now, all we need is a CD issue for SON OF MORRIS ON...

Censored? Hm. Perhaps. It was my recollection that the bleep was more of
a tongue-in-cheek device, that the rhyme scheme made it obvious what word
was to follow. Kind of like those children's songs which approach some
naughty word or other but instead spin off into an entirely different verse.

And, yes, the ironic part is that the song which precedes it, "Cuckoo's Nest,"
is one of the raunchiest I've heard in all my days of trad-folk listening.
No obscenities, but the song hardly needs them -- it simply uses slightly
more elaborate language to describe the exact same thing. If the record
company was behind the "Morris Off" bleeping but left "Cuckoo's Nest" intact,
I'd be willing to bet that said company has (or had) at least one seriously
schizophrenic executive.

The album, by the way, has a sound all its own... resembling the usual English/
Irish trad but with squeezebox instead of fiddle. Check out Richard Thompson's
current album for a taste -- the fadeout to "Don't Sit On My Jimmy Shands"
contains about forty seconds' worth.

Someone wanted lyrics to 'The Wild Rover', here they are - with guitar chords...

The Wild Rover

C F
I've been a wild rover for many a year

C G C
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer

F
And now I'm returning with gold in great score

C F G C
And I never will play the wild rover no more

Ch

G C F
And it's no nay never no nay never no more

C F C G C
Will I play the wild rover no never no more

I went to an ale house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit she answered me "Nay
Such a custom like yours I could have any day"

Ch

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest"

Ch

I'll go back to my parents confess what I've done
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress me as oft times before
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more

Ch

John B.
