Sad to say, I'm not out of doors all that often although probably more than I was at Cronulla. Lots to do around here but I don't do it all. Did I mention that we are members of Rhododendron Society, Horticultural Society and (ah yes - it's coming back to me) the Golf Club but only as social members? Also Shirley's School for Seniors. She organises bus trips every two weeks. A couple of weeks ago we went to an alpaca farm. They are fascinating animals and their wool has a fascinating price.
?
You think Cats was a rotten musical? I wish I had written a rotten musical that made as much money as that. Incidentally all the songs in Cats were from T. S. Eliot's words (in Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats) except one - you know, of course, which one that was.
?
We don't like cats. We like our native birds. There are two cats that hang around here and they have on occasions killed a rosella. We shoo them away but they come back Grrr.

It is a well documented fact that most cats are infested with an  
insidious parasite. The parasite has no detrimental effect on the cat.  
It does however also infect rodents - a common prey of cats. The  
effect on the rodent is that the parasite paralyses part of the  
animal's brain, that associated with the fear response. As a result,  
when an infected rodent encounters a cat, the normal "run for your  
life" reflex is suppressed and naturally enuf the cat catches and eats  
the rodent .. and in the process the cat becomes infected with the  
parasite if it is not already infected.

That would be yet another biological curio except for the fact that  
humans can also be infected by the parasite and like the rodents it  
infects, the parasite also suppresses part of the human brain. Since  
the human brain is a lot more complicated than that of the average  
rodent ... well the average human brain, that is .. the effect on the  
behaviour of the infected human is less clear cut, however studies  
have shown that there is an effect and MRI etc studies of infected  
human brains do show depressed function in a specific area. The one  
clear cut effect on human behaviour is that those infected by the  
parasites have, well, a high degree of attraction towards cats. This  
also shows the adaptability of the parasite - suppressing the fear  
response towards cats in humans serves no use (unless the cat is a  
lion or the like), but increasing the attraction of the infected human  
towards cats drastically increases the close interaction between the  
said human and the cat and serves as a means of passing on the  
parasite as the rodent vector.

This is one of several fairly recently identified parasites that  
alters the host's behavioural pattern to benefit the parasite. Another  
parasite lays eggs in the host, when the eggs are ready to hatch the  
host is driven to enter water where it drowns and the hatched eggs are  
released into the water, where they thrive.

So if you don't like cats ... you have a very good reason for it ..  
and you are also almost certainly not infected by this behaviour  
altering parasite. And if you love cats .. please don't introduce your  
parasite ridden monster to me!!! :)

And before any cat lovers out there take me to task, the above is all  
legit and can be found perusing the science literature.

Oh, and there is no known analogous parasite that infects canines.  
Just cats. Evil creatures!!!

cheers,
David

Subject: [TolHarndor] Sing along with Tolkien
Message-ID: <58331.10074.qm@web110214.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

Donald Swan of course wrote tunes to many Tolkien verses, and one verse "Troll", from both FotR and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil,?was presumably written with?a well known tune (The Fox) in mind. As to the others, I had never thought of tunes for singing them, but it has occurred to me that "Errantry", the quirky little poem that's #3 in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, can be sung to?Arthur Sullivan's?tune?for "A Modern Major General", from "The Pirates of Penzance". You may have heard Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" which he wrote for singing to the same tune and which lists all 92 elements (up to Uranium - but not in order of atomic numbers). Others have written parody verses to the same tune, but I suspect that, although the tune certainly existed when JRRT wrote "Errantry" he probably didn't have that tune in mind. It goes without saying that Bilbo's poem about Earendil (in FotR) will also fit that tune.

So ... take a deep breath and ... see if you can finish it without choking!

Just Swan, I think, Jeff; not Flanders. In any case, Flanders would have evoked in Tolkien those terrible memories of his mates dying in WW1.

I had read that "The Road Goes Ever On", which contained the music, has been reprinted. Original print copies are priced, well maybe not above rubies but pretty high.

Cheers (what's that in Sindarin?)

Herendil

PS anyone tried to sing those words (Errantry) to that tune (A Modern Major General)? Not easy!

Given my "singing" voice, lets just say any singing project is something 
I'd not even attempt with a barrel of mead! Not and expect anyone to 
remain alive within a radius similar to that of a 250 gigaton nuclear 
blast. :)

Yes .. it's that bad!

My grandfather fought in the trenches in the Somme & elsewhere in WW1 .. 
from 1915-1919. Wounded several times, gassed twice and AWOL once (when 
he got the news his wife had a child .. in 1917 .. you can do the maths 
.. and no, he never had any leave back to oz during the 4 years he was 
at war). No doubt he had similar memories of the war as Tollers, tho' as 
a mere private in the colonial forces, I doubt they ever met. he died 
long before I was born, so I have no such tales told to me as a wee nipper.

Hi Everyone,
?
I actually have the record--vinyl album of Swan's music with lyrics! A rare find indeed. But it is not difficult as say Gilbert and Sullivan's musical Pirates of Penzance.?How does someone breath and still manage to sing it! Personally, I like the cds I have by the Tolkien Ensemble "An Evening in Rivendell" is the better of the 3. I adore Christopher Lee, but listening to him sing as Treebeard, and then Theoden, and then Strider, and then, and then...is a bit too heavy. I think the only one he didn't do is?Galadriel's Lament! At least he didn't sing at any rate...?

Given my "singing" voice, lets just say any singing project is
something 
I'd not even attempt with a barrel of mead! Not and expect anyone to 
remain alive within a radius similar to that of a 250 gigaton nuclear 
blast. :)

Yes .. it's that bad!

My grandfather fought in the trenches in the Somme & elsewhere in WW1 .. 
from 1915-1919. Wounded several times, gassed twice and AWOL once (when 
he got the news his wife had a child .. in 1917 .. you can do the maths

Michael has a cassette with some of the songs on it. He lent it to me and I recorded it so I've got it as mp3 somewhere - I haven't tried recently to find it but I expect to. I wasn't particularly charmed by the tunes but I would see it as a hard call to set, eg Galadriel's Namarie, to music. We don't even know just what musical scale the Elves had and it might well have been very different from the well tempered seven tone scale that is commonly used for western music.

It's not quite the Dark Ages, but I must be on the verge. Our  
satellite broadband went bung over a week ago and it won't be fixed  
till next Monday, so I am sending this via an internet cafe, which  
isn't so bad as they are still serving up hot cross buns.

I have a CD of Donald Swann's music. It came with the book (2002)  
which contains the sheet music and lyrics. This particular edition  
also contains 'Luthien Tinuviel' which apparently can be found nowhere  
else. His music is not everyone's cup of tea but what's significant is  
that Tolkien approved of it, which is saying a lot given he didn't  
approve of much else.

Jeff,

No word yet my friend on the Hall of Hearing?

Enjoy! My humble dsl still works. Oh btw I got a bill from Optus which I quit six months ago. It was for "$0.00". It would have cost them a couple of dollars to send it.So far Westnet seems pretty good. So are the bedfellows Yahoo! and Channel 7, although I never watch the latter.

As you say, but did Tolkien approve or disapprove of *any* music? Did he have any stated likes?or dislikes regarding music? I have the impression that he didn't think much about the subject, or perhaps he would have said something?regarding just what musical scales the Elves used. They did seem to have trumpets, lyres and drums?in Middle Earth - did they have any other musical instruments?

 And did meet Dr Sarah.......(yesterday)
>
First the good news.......this venue would be Wunderbar for us....not only
would the main room be the right size....much as I remembered ....but there
is a beaut coffe/tea room just down one flight of stairs which we could
use......and Dr S....is still for us!
BUT!....Bad News...............is that a s in all education systems the good
Doctor's Empire (at Barry St) is under challenge.....there is a mopve to
shift her dept into the main body of the university...she fights this tooth
and......but in the end.as the pollies do always say....she cannot guarntee
that by our August date that these rooms will be (hers) to
offer.......................so I must not simply say that this will be
OK......might not!
Therefore I have to look around again.......not book exactly (yet) but look
again.
It may well be that she can tell me the best or the worst about (her) venue
in time for me NOT to book another place.we must hang fire on this for a
time?

Hmmm...

Given Michael wants to invite OS guests, we'd really need to have a firm 
venue before that starts, so as good as the venue may be and as good as 
the lovely Dr may be, it might be best to look for a venue that we know 
we WILL HAVE come the date and not one we may have to change at the last 
minute.

Church halls are a good idea ... apart from the obvious religious 
connection with Tollers, one doesn't have to worry about bureaucrats or 
pollies pulling the rug out from under you at the last minute. Of 
course, if the priest decides he (or she) wants to use that date for a 
church function or s/he retires and is replaced by a less sympathetic 
priest, ya screwed ... literally, that is.

cheers,
David

The MSFC venue may be quite good if they don't mind someone else doing their thing there. I'm not really sure what they're up to but we (Edwina and I) advertise their wares every month in the Bullsheet so I could certainly ask. Personally I'd favour a venue closer to the city.

Thoughts include:

- Victorian Writers' Centre: it appears to be in the city but nor necessarily to have a room suitable for a seminar.

- The gurus of sf in Melbourne - most notably Rose Mitchell who is co-chair of Aussiecon 4 but she's a classic case of "if you want a job done give it to a busy person". Also Rose might like to have the seminar advertised as an activity peripheral to the Worldcon.

- I haven't got any more ideas crystallised yet but I'm sure that there are other options Melbourne is a busy, arty town (when they're not watching footy).

- Herendil

Hi Jeff,

We had an otherworldly pea-soup fog in parts of Sydney yesterday, through
which I was driving at the time. I imagined I was driving along the Great
East Road (in a westerly direction of course) in Middle-earth, with the cars
around me playing the role of orcs in my way. I imagine though that the
Great East Road wouldn't have been conducive to automobiles. No matter - I
had fun anyway. 

How are your investigations progressing? Whatever the result the best thing
will be to settle on just the one definite place, as many of the other
aspects of the organising will revolve around it. Let me know if you want me
to follow-up any of your leads Jeff!

Michael

No fog out this way, but then the Sydney basin's pretty big. As for The 
great East Road .. maybe an SUV? Not that they really need roads ... the 
proper ones, that is, not the Toorak Tractors that'd have a hernia if 
they even looked like going near a pothole, let alone off road.

> How are your investigations progressing? Whatever the result the best thing

Yes ... and also a place that has some decent eateries within walking 
distance and close to public transport .. and maybe accommodation as 
well for the non-locals.

BTW .. things have been quiet since December ... anyone else out there???

cheers,
David

Yep and I will contact you soon about THE ONE!
Today being Sunday may not be the best time to contact the Rev
Vicus............re the Melville Road Hall..from memory......long way back
it's a v large hall with a deal of space for coffee /tea and mead of
course.....................do not write off Dr Sarah just yet.....but yes
the bird in the hand.........etc
No orcs seen on sydney Road..........today!
but I am suspicious of the area around the Brunnie oval........near my flat
I mean.........when it's a bit dark, windy and snowoffthehillslikeitis today
one gets an awful feeling like the BARROW DOWNS up behind the western
goalposts while walking..as I did o the morn............large dogs also roam
here .............  admittedly they normally have an owner or two in
sight....but it's still an animal place........some of them look to have
saucer eyes as in Baskervilles........
........also there is a ruin of grandstand in the Brunnie grounds like some
Minas Tiras in a state of forgetfulness perhaps....this morning I was
inclined to look for some emerging hermit from under the vaults of this
crumbling place... I saw no penneants a flying up on top it!.........I
hurried on in the bitterness of the biting morn all alone.............u
started this Mikhail!

Jeff,

Most clergy do not work on mondays ... it's their one day off in the  
week. Some also take tuesday's off (to have a 5 day week, but that's  
less common). Best wait until wednesday and then call. Some clergy  
will answer the fone on their day off, other's wont.

cheers,
David

Ahh .... but you are retired .. well working for yourself. If you'd  
not had the weekend off when you were in the workforce, I'm sure you'd  
be a bit upset! :)

Besides, on the 7th day, God rested. :)

> Can you cope with 60,000 words for Tilkal....ie The Humboldt?

Well since no-one else has sent me anything in ages ... I guess I can  
fit it in. Send it to <roots-boots at hotmail.com>.

I guess I'm going to have to change the name of "Tilkal: Journal of  
the Australian Tolkien Society" to "Tilkal: Jeff Lynch's Prose and  
Poetry".

cheers,
David

Yep I thought I saw a coupled of talents hidden away there!

Anf FIRST CONTACT has been made with the Rev VIcus.......man of
God....(Melville Road)
OK so this is a strange address for God but She's possibly everywhere
.....He tells me that a second contact will be made by him or one of his
minions.......

Supposedly ... tho' in the actual text the sex is a non-issue, not  
really male but not female ... non-sexual if you like. "He" is used  
simply because using "it" for an entity is, well, impolite. "He" is no  
more male than 'he' is a female.

By the same logic ... would one wish to make an enemy of God by  
renouncing him? Who is more powerful .. the creator or the created?

Notice that I've "stripped" "pruned" or "trimmed" this letter. It was getting a bit too long. If you want to know what went before, you should find it in the archives.

Surely "infidels" are non believers in Allah and The Prophet. If infidels are the converse of Muslims and gentiles the converse of Jews, what is the converse of Christians? I've heard pagans used that way but Pagan with a capital P is now regarded as something of a religion in its own right. As for living at number 666, while it is said to be the number of the Beast (in Revelation - er, and Heinlein), that doesn't disallow it from other uses.

Regarding the use of She as a pronoun for God: some famous feminist was credited with "Pray to God, She'll help you" but I forget just who. Betty Archdale, one time headmistress of Abbotsleigh (girls') College, Sydney, was said to have admitted to occasionally commencing the Lord's Prayer in assembly (it was a Protestant school, I forget just which denomination) with "Our Mother".

Has anyone ever implied that there is a right and a wrong pronoun for use with Almighty God? Is it then a sin to use any particular pronoun that an established Church regards as inappropriate? You yourself have written "would one wish to make an enemy of God by? 
renouncing him?" (lower case h).

In regard to hiring of that hall: MSFC is probably almost pure atheist. That does make them infidels though. I must find out more about how they got to use it so much. However Jeff is doing a good job here - carry on.

> Surely "infidels" are non believers in Allah and The Prophet.

Actually, despite popular belief, "infidel" is an english word and comes 
from the Catholic church ...

"Infidel (literally "one without faith") is an English word meaning "one 
who doubts or rejects central tenets of a religion or has no religious 
beliefs", especially in reference to Islam. In Christianity the term was 
traditionally used by the Roman Catholic Church to refer to one who did 
not believe in the divinity of Jesus, knowingly held beliefs that 
contradicted Catholic dogma, or one who had not been baptized, or by 
Christians in general to describe non-Christians or those perceived as 
enemies of Christianity, including Muslims. Current English speaking 
Catholic ecclesiastical usage however distinguishes between 
non-Christians and non-believers (persons without religious affiliations 
or beliefs). The Arabic word kafir (literally the one who "covers", in 
the sense of hiding) is the Muslim term for an infidel. The term 
technically applies only to atheists and polytheists and to those who 
subscribe to faiths other than Christianity, Judaism and Zorastrianism."

And more briefly ...

infidel (plural infidels)
    1. A non-believer of a certain religion
    2. One who does not believe in a certain principle
    3. One with no religious beliefs.

Etymology - First attested 1460, from Latin infidelis unfaithful, from 
in- not + fidelis faithful (see fidelity).

So as you can see the word has today been "hijacked" by some in the 
english-speaking Muslim world to refer to non-muslims, but the word 
originally meant non-christians.

 > If infidels are the converse of Muslims and gentiles the converse of 
Jews,
 > what is the converse of Christians?

Many words have been used .. pagans & heathens are two such words which 
date back to the roman empire. Those words originally meant someone who 
lived in the country and had no implications for religious belief. In 
the later years of the empire, the country areas were the last bastions 
of the pre-christian religions and so the terms for "country dwellers" 
came to synonymous with non-christians.

And see above ..."infidel" also means non-christian.

> Has anyone ever implied that there is a right and a wrong pronoun for use
 > with Almighty God? Is it then a sin to use any particular pronoun that an
 > established Church regards as inappropriate?

No, there's no sin. Traditionally the male pronoun has been used but 
not, as I said before, because God is male, but because there is no 
asexual gender pronoun and it is, well, impolite for a being.

> In regard to hiring of that hall: MSFC is probably almost pure atheist.

Infidels. :)

> I must find out more about how they got to use it so much.

MSFC may be mostly infidels, but the appreciation of SF&F is not limited 
to infidels.

Indeed.
