Moonshine BrigadeHere's a belated <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/TuneTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TuneTuesday</a> entry. My dad had a record with western songs, this was my favorite: Green Back Dollar, by the Kingston Trio. We have this song in our repertoire 🙂 <a href="https://song.link/i/73447825" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://song.link/i/73447825</a><a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/MyGoldenOldie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MyGoldenOldie</a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/KingstonTrio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KingstonTrio</a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/folk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#folk</a> <a href="https://musicworld.social/tags/western" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#western</a>

That Other Place<a href="https://c.im/@tc_morekindness" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@tc_morekindness</a> That's an interesting question!Traditional murder ballads (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_ballad" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_ballad</a>) used to be popular material for the folk and country singers, and quite a few of them were recorded even in the 1950s. I was actually thinking about mentioning "Knoxville Girl", which goes even farther back in time, but I couldn't quite decide whether to pick one of the 1950s recordings - the Wilburn Brothers or the Louvin Brothers - or an earlier 1930s version by the Blue Sky Boys. So I ended up with "Down In the Willow Garden" instead.Don and Phil Everly recorded the classic concept album "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us" in August, 1958. They had started out as part of a family group with their parents, performing country & western music. The idea of the album was to record traditional folk songs that had been introduced to them by their father, Ike Everly, who was a relatively well-known and influential guitar picker.This was clearly something that they wanted to do, not something that was done because of commercial motivations. The brothers were probably aware that there was a folk music boom going on among the college students, and that may explain why they got the go-ahead to do the album from their record company, Cadence Records. The Kingston Trio's "Tom Dooley", another murder ballad (although a much more up-beat performance), was about to hit the top of the charts, but that was only later in the fall. The new Everly Brothers biography by Barry Mazor, "Blood Harmony. The Everly Brothers Story" (2025), points out that their approach differs from the way the artists that were part of the commercial folk boom interpreted these songs:"In the Everly's hands they're performed charmingly and involvingly, without the sing-along distancing or irony commonplace in the era's commercial 'frat house' folk."However, Mazor goes on to note that the brothers were actually aware of the incongruities of trying to match these songs for their own audience: "By about the twelfth take on 'Willow Garden,' the brothers and [the bass player] Lightnin' [Chance] broke the tension with some revealing joking. Don, apparently pondering the lyric that they've been singing over and over for the first time, with both a knifing and a poisoning in it, wonders, 'It hardly makes sense ... I killed her _twice_? Now, friends - we bring you a killing song. In two easy lessons you can slay your pregnant girlfriend. Well ... that's what the story's about!' And Phil adds a final folk-album style explanatory intro, not to be included on the actual record: 'Music to kill by, for all you teenagers.'"<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/TuneTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TuneTuesday</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/MyGoldenOldie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MyGoldenOldie</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/murderballads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#murderballads</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/everlybrothers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#everlybrothers</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/doneverly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#doneverly</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/phileverly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#phileverly</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/folkmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#folkmusic</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/roseconnelly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#roseconnelly</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/knoxvillegirl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#knoxvillegirl</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/tomdooley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tomdooley</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ikeeverly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ikeeverly</a>

●Today's music theme for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TuneTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TuneTuesday</a> asks what's the oldest song you know and like. It seemed daunting and I didn't think I could narrow it down, but I'll go with this for a late selection.This song was written by Cole Porter in 1934 and he performs it here. I especially like the cultural references of the day and its fun use of language.You're The Top – Cole Porter <a href="https://song.link/y/njzqv5gWt6k" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://song.link/y/njzqv5gWt6k</a><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MyGoldenOldie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MyGoldenOldie</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/@Kitty" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Kitty</a>

hibiscus tea 🎶🌻I still have a lot of scrolling and listening to do, but I just want to take a minute and say how impressed and delighted I am with the breadth of this week's <a href="https://c.im/tags/TuneTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TuneTuesday</a> selections (theme <a href="https://c.im/tags/MyGoldenOldie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MyGoldenOldie</a>). So far, I've heard songs from the 1700s to the 21st century (yep, that's oldie to some folks 😄), classical to KPop. I've learned so much; what a music appreciation course this is. And I'm not even halfway through the list yet. 🎶

It is a beautiful chant, made famous because it is used in The Beloved The Sun Rising, and Orbital Belfast. Both banging songs as well.

As I am currently watching some Iron Maiden on the TV, it will serve as a counter.
