Book excerpt: “Let me in, let me in,” the Songman pleaded. What did these words mean? Kidnapped and tortured, Mary Meyers had no idea. Her only thought was to escape from the lyrical miscreant and his fiendish henchman, Dobson. When the opportunity came, Mary slipped away and traveled back home. Yet her house was cold, deserted. Too exhausted to leave, she huddled in a corner and fell asleep. Read McClaine discovered Mary’s frozen body late at night, and his only thought was to rush her to Bridgeport Hospital. However, upon reviving in the warmth of Read’s truck, Mary blatantly refused medical attention. What choice did he have but to take her to his cabin? Now Mary was warm, well-fed. If she could spend a few months in Read’s home and grow stronger, enhance her strange power, she could face the Songman again. Was there another reason she didn’t want to leave? Was she falling in love with Read McClaine, a man who detested marriage? It was time. The Songman was calling to her, willing her to return. Was she strong enough to defeat him? If she failed, her newfound friends would die, including the man she loved, Read McClaine.

Book excerpt: "Sylvie Bartram's beloved dog, Mr. Jackson, has lost his bark. The birds have stopped singing. And in the growing silence, her dad has disappeared. Determined to find him, Sylvie and her best friend, kite-flying, tone deaf George, are drawn into the nightmare world of the Songman, a world haunted by the terrifying Woodpecker Man in his swan-powered balloon, a world where nothing can sing and no one can speak. Only Sylvie can save the earth from its terrible voiceless fate."--Dust jacket.

Book excerpt: "'With a Fenian fiddle in one ear and an Orange drum in the other', singer Tommy Sands was reared in the foothills of the Mourne Mountains. His family was immersed in folk music - his father played the fiddle, his mother the accordion. Their kitchen was a place where Protestant and Catholic farmers alike would gather to sing at the end of the day's harvesting. During the 1960s and '70s, he was the chief songwriter with The Sands Family, who played wherever they were welcome, from local wakes and weddings to New York's Carnegie Hall. His songs have been recorded by Joan Baez, Dolores Keane, Dick Gaughan and The Dubliners." "The Songman is the story of Sands' journey. He tells of his family's traditional way of life, recalling his mother tying summer sheaves while his father worked the scythe. Here are the turbulent days of the civil rights movement; The Bothy Band brawling in Brittany; encounters with Alan Stivell, Mary O'Hara and Pete Seeger; the 'boyish devilment and humour' of Ian Paisley on his radio show Country Ceili; and a 'defining moment' during the Good Friday Agreement talks, when he organized a moving impromptu performance with children and Lambeg drummers."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wangga, originating in the Daly region of Australia’s Top End, is one of the most prominent Indigenous genres of public dance-songs. This book is organised around six repertories: four from the Belyuen-based songmen Barrtjap, Muluk, Mandji and Lambudju, and two from the Wadeye-based Walakandha and Ma-yawa wangga groups, the repertories being named after the ancestral song-giving ghosts of the Marri Tjavin and Marri Ammu people respectively. Framing chapters include discussion of the genre’s social history, musical conventions and the five highly endangered languages in which the songs are composed. The core of the book is a compendium of recordings, transcriptions, translations and explanations of over 150 song items. Thanks to permissions from the composers’ families and a variety of archives and recordists, this corpus includes almost every wangga song ever recorded in the Daly region.
