What/Where is Fennario? Anyone? I Jam Dire Wolf, and it's in
there, and then I see it in my radom .sig, here.
BTW, sometimes I see people say "Id this show here's the
setlist". You know you can get DeadBase for your workstation, it
comes with complete lyrics / shows / and a big file with tons of
.sig quotes. I forget where I got it, but it should be easy to
track down...

As we rode out to fennario, as we rode out to Fennario
Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove,
And called her by a name, pretty Peggy-O.
Pretty Peggy-O

This is an easy one. Fennario is where the wolves are runnin' round.
It is also where we rode out of when our captain fell in love with a lady
like a dove.

Cheers & New Years,
Rob

In article <4b7iak$k...@news2.ios.com>, rr1...@chelsea.ios.com says...
There is a book called Brokedown Palace (cannot remember the authors name)
which takes place in a kingdom called Fenario. The story is a fairy tale, but
it is pretty clear (from a map and other references) that Fenario is in what is
now Hungary. Whether this is based on any fact, I don't know. I believe the
author is Hungarian and that may have had an influence.

BTW, the dedication reads "To Jerry, Bobby, Phil, Brent, Jonh, Robert, and
(especially) Billy and Micky." It was a pleasant bit of drivel with a few
scattered refs to Dead songs.

Peace,
Branden.

Wasn't it (the recently late) Roger Zelazny?

I don't think so. Somehow, I don't think Zelazny was a head, but I could be
wrong (again)

I once saw an ancient book of Irish folk songs, and one was called "The Belle Lasse of Fennario", and what would you know, there were the words of our berloved
Peggy-o. So, maybe Fennario is in Ireland.

Guess that would depend on your definition of 'head', n'cest pas?

according to david dodd's annotated dead page, there really isn't a fennario.
it has been called 'fennario,' 'peggy-o,' and a host of other names. f.m.i.
check out the web page ;)

I looked in both my dictionary and my atlas, and I never found a
Fennario. Obviously, it is a forest ("timbers of Fennario"), but it may
just be mythological.

This refers to the song, which is listed as both "Fennario" and
"Peggy-0", the latter being much more common (and by most historical
references, more correct) than the former.

Branden, i believe your assumption that "fennario" is a reference to the book Brokendown Palace is incorrect seeing as the book was writen in 1986. The Grateful dead songs "Brokendoen Palace" and "Dire Wolf" (the song that references that area) were written 16 years prior in 1970 on the two consecutive albums "American beauty" and "Workingman's Dead". and i would also assume that the reference in "Peggy-o" is a continuation of this trend whatever it may be a reference to. Wish i could help more.

It's a typo - "Fenario" should be "Freedonia":

Pretty Peggy-O comes from the Celtic Revival that swept through and out from the various gaelic kingdoms, combined with lyric language drift, causing something like fyves to become fennario. Steven Brust, the author of Brokendown Palace and The Gypsy got his inspiration from hungarian folktales...

Going to answer this for a Guinness book world record as oldest question factually answered ... “well according to Grateful Dead legend” credit Corinne West & the Bandits in their JamBase “songs of their own” performance of the GD’s “dire wolf” ... the timber’s of Fenario are the redwoods in Larkspur California in Madrone Canyon.

You can read all about it the the video description below and hear Corinne’s verbal description of Fenario and they actually play the song ... at that very spot ... well in very close proximity.

Enjoy. Long live Jerry and God bless the Grateful Dead
