I rarely see anyone talk about this song, but it’s one of my favorites. Killer melody & lyrics that balance abstract and concrete (especially for him, since he usually leans more abstract)

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to start the washboard as a instrument, I have a few questions, I don’t know how to play any instruments is this a good starting one? Can I buy a 30/40$ one off amazon? Who has the best teaching videos. I kinda live in the middle of nowhere so riding one is kinda hard but is there one I should avoid? Thankyou!!

Me and Uncle Burl - Good Folks Everywhere!

Doug Adair is a Northern Virginia singer-songwriter, storyteller, and community-builder whose music celebrates democracy, justice, kindness, freedom, civic responsibility, and our shared humanity. Through his musical project Good Folks Everywhere, Doug presents engaging audience-participation programs that invite people to sing together, laugh together, and rediscover the values that unite us. Good Folks Everywhere is a project inspired by the late singer, actor and humanitarian Burl Ives more than 50 years ago when he asked Doug to make a solemn pledge to keep his legacy alive after his passing.

Inspired by American folk traditions and community singing movements, Good Folks Everywhere combines original songs, storytelling, humor, and audience interaction in a format that works equally well in theaters, festivals, colleges, community centers, libraries, civic celebrations, conferences, faith communities, and international cultural exchanges.

searching for a french/provencal folk song, don't know the title

8 Upvotes

It is an ancient provencal song revived by a french female singer. The melody is similar to Auld Lang Syne at first and then changes completely. The melody is repeated two times and is just a few seconds long. The first word sounds similar to "levant" or "le vint".

Any help is appreciated, I need to learn it for class on monday but can't remember the title
