[dcab-l] Easter Song: Each Ring of the Hammer

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

 

Each Ring of the Hammer” was written by D. Evans and recorded by Mac Wiseman in

the album “New Traditions Vol 2”  in 1976.  This hymn has also been done by “The Lewis

Family”.

 

This verses equate the degradation of Christ’s suffering on the Cross with the sound of the

hammer driving in crucifixion nails.  The chorus instructs that ending sin will remove the

horror of the nailing.

 

   Line up:

 

Anders Gyllenhaal  Banjo

Ed Schaeffer                                Guitar & Vocal

Barb Diederich                              Bass & Harmony

Ed

 

                                  Each Ring Of The Hammer

 

The nails were all numbered and driven in place
They scorned and they mocked Him and spat in His face
But while all the misery and pain He went thru
He begged, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do"

Chorus

Each ring of the hammer is counting a sin
Each nail in the cross is one you drove in
Just turn from your lost world of sinning today
And each ring of the hammer will soon fade away


They gathered around Him and watched as He died
They crowned Him with thorns and opened His side
Out over Calvary that cruel hammer rang
As each nail was driven the cold metal sang

* Refrain

He came here to save us from living in sin
The we repaid Him with nails driven in
Can you not see Him, that look on His face
Is begging us all just to honor His grace

* Refrain

[dcab-l] Easter Song: He Took Your Place

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

Here’s a live Rattlesnake Hill show from the Appalachian Jubilee, a live Country and syndicated

radio show broadcast from the Capitol Theater, Chambersburg, Pa.

 

He Took Your Place” was written by Flatt and Scruggs and appeared in the album “Foggy

Mountain Gospel”.   This cut has also been done by Porter Wagoner and also the Whites, and

many others.  It appeared on our CD:  “Brimstone Bluegrass”:

 

 

Gospel music is inherent within Bluegrass; as Bill Monroe described: “It’s got the Holiness in it!”.

This song summarizes the passion of Christ’s crucifixion on Mt. Calvary.   In so doing, Christ dies

to forgive the sins of mankind.   Hence the title:   “He Took Your Place”.

 

This song drips with forgiveness, compassion, and hope.  I trust people of all faiths will appreciate

this song from the Christian perspective.

 

   Line up:

 

John Seaburn            Fiddle

Jim Barnett                 Banjo

Ed Schaeffer              Guitar & Vocal

Tom Mindte                Bass & Harmony

 

To listen, click:  http://rattlesnakehill.org/Web_Music/edsmusic.html

(As always, headphones preferred;  turn up for that “big stage” sound)

[dcab-l] St. Patrick's Day: The Wild Rover

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

"The Wild Rover" (Roud 1173) is a popular English-language folk song whose

origins are contested.

 

Historically, the song has been referred to in Irish folklore and, since the late 16th

century, it has been noted in written records—although it is likely that some northern

Atlantic fishing crews knew the song before these historical accounts were made.

 

The song is a staple for artists performing live music in Irish pubs.  It is often

considered to be a drinking song rather than a temperance song.  For many people,

The Wild Rover is the stereotypical Irish drinking song and the most widely

performed Irish song.

 

The chorus is well known throughout most Irish, Irish-American and British cultures,

even among people who have no knowledge of the rest of the song.

 

This live performance by “All Mixed Up” at Coolfont Resort in W. Va., includes:

 

Barry Wendell     Lead Vocal & Rhythm Guitar

Ed Schaeffer       Harmony & Lead Guitar;  Bass

 

To listen, click:  http://rattlesnakehill.org/saintpatrick/saintpatrick.html

[dcab-l] St. Patrick's Day: Down by the Salley Gardens

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

"Down by the Salley Gardens" (Irish: Gort na Saileán) is a poem by William Butler

Yeats published in The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems in 1889.

 

Yeats indicated in a note that it was "an attempt to reconstruct an old song from

three lines imperfectly remembered by an old peasant woman in the village of

Ballisodare, Sligo, who often sings them to herself."

 

It has been suggested that the location of the "Salley Gardens" was on the banks of

the river at Ballysadare near Sligo, where the residents cultivated trees to provide

roof thatching materials. "Salley" or "sally" is a form of the Standard English word

"sallow", i.e., a tree of the genus Salix.  It is close in sound to the Irish word

“saileach”, meaning willow. 

 

If your name is “Sally”, I dedicate this song to you.

 

This live performance by “All Mixed Up” at Coolfont Resort in W. Va., includes:

 

Barry Wendell     Harmony & Rhythm Guitar

Ed Schaeffer       Vocal & Lead Guitar;  Bass

[dcab-l] St. Patrick's Day: When Irish Eyes are Smiling

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

"When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" is a lighthearted song in tribute to Ireland.  Its lyrics

were written by Chauncey Olcott and George Graff, Jr., set to music composed by

Ernest Ball, for Olcott's production of The Isle O' Dreams;  Olcott sang the song in

the show.  It was first published in 1912, at a time when songs in tribute to a

romanticized Ireland were very numerous and popular, both in Britain and the US.

During the First World War, the famous tenor John McCormack recorded the song.

 

The song continued to be a familiar standard for generations.  Decades later it was

used as the opening song on the radio show Duffy's Tavern.  The song has been

recorded on over 200 singles and albums and by many famous singers, including

Bing Crosby, Connie Francis, and Roger Whittaker.

 

This live sing-along, performed by “All Mixed Up” at Coolfont Resort in W. Va., includes:

 

Barry Wendell     Lead Vocal & Rhythm Guitar

Ed Schaeffer       Lead Guitar;  Bass
