Folkfan! May not be able to make the celebration on time. Any chance of sending a portion of tunnel cake across the pond? You state that it may be carried................, cherry for preference!

folkfan said:Michael, For you all also bring my raspberry tunnel cake. It's a sour cream white bundt cake made with a tunnel of raspberries in it, and served with a large dollop of whipped cream. If I need to carry it some place, I cover it in a layer of cool whip and fill the center and edge of the platter with a couple of cartons of fresh raspberries. Or if you enjoy cherries, the tunnel is made from cherry pie filling (the expensive type with more cherries than sauce) then covered in cool whip and the center filled with another can of cherry pie filling dribbling over the sides and down and around the cake.

A foundation of raspberry meringue, topped with fresh raspberry sorbet, mounded with raspberry whipped cream and a drizzle of raspberry syrup and a handful of fresh berries tossed on. Sprig of mint for a bit of color.
Oooohh! Red Raspberries - my favorite all-time food.
You can have my portion of the Evil Shrimp bits and Evil encased-olive Jello Salad, but save me a double portion of that raspberry dessert.
C'mon 600.

Rod, with reference to the party. I do'nt wish to offend but could you please find someone else to look after the 'Dew' should any turn up this time. I think that Stumelia was under the impression that I had looked after it far to well at the last party, causing me to miss the clearing up after the party had finished! As I try to take 'note' of all she says, and in order to stay in some sort of 'a-ccord' with her, and so as not to be seen 'stringing' her along causing her to 'fret', I think I might just bring an Arctic Roll this time.Sorry all!!!

There's a great old Missouri fiddle tune called "Cat On A Leash". Here's a link to an mp3 file of it: http://home.comcast.net/~wefiddle1/mp3/catonaleash.mp3

I was hoping somebody (else) would remember the poignant "Nobody's Moggy;" and that has come to pass. But since Flint Hill only posted the sheet music, here's the audio of a performance by its Down Under creators. A very sad tale. "The Intoxicated Rat," often credited to Doc Watson and nearly as often to Cisco Houston, is I believe by Dorsey Dixon, of The Dixon Brothers. May be mistaken about that; anyway, I'm sure it was recorded before Watson came along. The plot has to do with a rodent who gets drunk -- and belligerent about cats, until one actually shows up -- at which time he quickly gets sober."Pinkle Purr" by A.A. Milne has latterly been set to music at least a couple of times, but I don't know if the music is good. The poem is.

The sad civil war cat song Poor Kitty Popcorn by Henry Clay Work.The old-school and politically incorrect Dead Cats on the Line , sung here by Vassar Clements.Rosalie Sorrels does cat songs: "Mehitabel's Theme" and "Always a Lady". Oscar Brand did a whole album about cats.And who could forget Eric Bogle's He's Nobody's Moggy Now ? (Even if you'd like to forget it.)Mean Black Cat by Robert Lee McCoy, ca 1937.Not to be missed is Riley Puckett's wonderful, deadpan version of The Cat Came Back .A personal favorite is Ralph Stanley's The Kitten and the Cat . The link goes to iTunes. Scroll down and click the link to hear a sample.

Does it have to be published? I have a little song that I sing to Tigger to lull him to sleep.
He's a Tigger, he's a Tigger, he's our little Tigger boyHe's a Tigger, he's a Tigger, He's our pride and our joy.I love my Tigger, love my Tigger, I love my little Tigger catI love my Tigger, love my Tigger, though sometimes he's a brat!Several other verse along this line, sung to the tune of Oh My Darling Clementine. Tigger has been known to fall asleep in my arms while being sung to.
