Rakes of Mallow
10/13/2015 — Today's RISK session, starting at 3:15pm at Minglement, will feature Kim Nelson on fiddle and Holly Tuttle on guitar, teaching RAKES OF MALLOW, a common and peppy Irish session tune. The tune comes from County Cork in the 1780s. Oddly enough, right after its origin, it was picked up by an Indian composer and used as the melody for a sacred prayer to a Hindu Goddess.

RISK learns the Cajun tune "Tit Galop Pour Mamou" with David Lange on Sept 29
Hey RISKees! Dave Lange & Company will rejoin us Tuesday, September 29th for more Cajun music from down South.
They'll lead us through some songs he's already taught us, like Bayou Pom Pom, Back Door, Don't Mess with My Toot Toot, then on to the new song, which is—
Tit Galop Pour Mamou (Slow Galop to Mamou)
You might even recognize the tune in this jaunty YouTube video of a string band playing this at a party. Some funny balloon commentary floating over the band playing.

And here's the tune's writer, Dewey Balfa, and brother playing on a pretty static YouTube, but hey, he wrote the thing.

The lyrics in English are:
Canter, canter to Mamou!
I sold my little mule for fifteen cents.
I bought some red candy for the kids,
some sugar and coffee for the old folks.

Canter, canter to Mamou!
I sold my little wagon for fifteen cents.
I bought some red candy for the kids,
and a yard of ribbon for my wife.

At SoundCloud, I've uploaded the melody and harmony parts separate and together. Here's a link to the LEAD + Harmony voices 1 & 2—all fiddle parts.
Finally, here's the music to the A part and the french cajun lyrics.
