Amongst other things, I am an amateur folk musician living in Umbria, Italy, with my wife, two dogs and 14 cats. I play guitar, dulcimer guitar, melodeon, mandolin and synth, none especially proficiently, but hey :) As well as folk, I also create electronic music tracks. #Music #Musician #Folk #FolkMusic #FolkMusician #folkies #ImprovisedMusic #AmbientMusic #fedi22

Went to the bar in the village for a second breakfast this morning, the first time we've been there since it changed hands late last year. It was nice to see Franco, the mayor who married us 11 years ago and Franco, the former owner.

8th May is the traditional day for the Helston Furry Dance, but it was held on the 5th this year. This is one of the songs/dances from the Furry Dance, Hal-an-tow:

Niche folkloric post, but if someone wants a PDF of a 1908 collection of Romanian folk tunes ... I wanted to print it from the Romanian national library but they had it as a series of image files. I merged it into one file to make it easier to print. Missing a page or two that wouldn't load in their file system and I skipped the blank pages because it's so big.

@dancarkner what a wonderful find.

@dancarkner it will keep me quiet (for many years quite likely) transcribing them into ABC notation! 😂

This is Napoleon’s death day, so following @barnetboy ’s lead here is June Tabor singing The Bonny Bunch of Roses.

https://youtu.be/UVJJKApHT7o

It’s usually sung as far too much of a dirge, if I could I’d have shared English Rebellion’s cheery rendition to The Rose Tree (with bits of other tunes like The Sloe mixed in) but it doesn’t seem to be online anywhere

@Phil @haq I read somewhere that Napoleon has the most number of songs written of all folk "heroes".

@barnetboy@musicians.today avatar

@Phil @haq I guess there's always another viewpoint. Look at the UK elections. Despite what is it 4 disastrous PMs there are still people prepared to vote Tory. 😦

And I discovered this morning in a quiz that Napoleon designed the flag of Italy.

@haq I guess every generation has its despot 😦

@haq I did wonder, but forgot to ask, where it came from. But then I didn't need to ask! 😀

If you don't want to celebrate the #coronation, why not celebrate #WorldNakedGardeningDay ?

We seem to get a lot of walkers with backpacks along our white road. Thing is they are almost always walking in the same direction. Where do they all end up? Do the aliens get them, or is there a vast storage shed of backpackers somewhere... 🤔

I'm not blind, but I love looking at image alt text. At its best it can describe a photo in wonderful detail and tell you so much more than is obvious in the photo.

Then you get those that have just a single word, "city" or "lake" or some such. WTF! What does that convey?

I think I'm due an #introduction

I'm a #British #expat living halfway up a mountain in central #Italy, with my wife, two #dogs (one of whom has cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy) and 15 #cats.

There are times when I despair about the state of the world, of politics and politicians, climate change and the environment, increasing polarisation of society and growing inequality. Probably more. 2/

@Nuggz great to meet you. I'm in Italy. Our day is coming to an end but I guess you still have much of the day to come. May it be a great one!
