Suggestions for future festivals

[Romidon]

I only got to page 10 of this thread (before jumping ahead to page 44 to make my post) , and on that page were posts from 2012; so I'm not sure if any of these suggestions have or have not been done.

I did see requests for 'Kidsongfest' - which I would take to mean 'songs written FOR children' as I perceive that as a very lucrative genre' if you've the talent for it. 

I also saw someone suggest 'Ian Hunter-fest', which I'd be all over if that hasn't been done yet (including the Mott the Hoople years, of course..).

My suggestions, if they haven't been brought up or done yet are:

A.) Procol Harum-fest  Gary Brooker and Keith Reid; one of the most underrated song writing teams ever...

B.) The Sensational Alex Harvey Band (SAHB-fest)   ((BEFORE Alex left the group, despite MANY of their songs being a collab effort..!  Without Alex the band became nothing more than a cover band...))

bawdy songs

OH YES!!   

I checked out that 'Bawdy Songs' site you linked to ( http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/bawdy-songs/idxv14as.htm ), and found songs that I've played.  Great possibilities there, again, if that hasn't been done in the years since it was suggested in 2012..

Hope BawdyFest happens. I picked this up on a vinyl spree yesterday.

I've got that same record Hook! I inherited it from my dad when he passed away many years ago.

My favourite tracks are:

• Seven Old Ladies Locked in a Lavatory
        The next was the Bishop of Chichester's daughter
        Who went in to pass some superfluous water
        She pulled on the chain and the rising tide caught her
        Nobody knew she was there
  
  
• Roll Your Leg Over
        If all them young ladies were little white rabbits
        I'd be a hare and I'd teach 'em bad habits
        ...
        If all them young ladies was little white vixen
        I'd be a fox and I'd chase 'em and fix 'em
        ...
        If all them young ladies was bells in the tower
        I'd be a six and I'd bang on the hour
        ...
        If all them young ladies was bricks in a pile
        I'd be a mason, I'd lay them in style
  
  
• Kafoozalem
        Hi-ho Kafoozalem
        The harlot of Jerusalem
        Prostitute of ill repute
        And the daughter of the baba

Bawdy Fest has been in the polls at least three times before but hasn't won yet. Hopefully, it will win this time. I'd love to hear some Oscar Brand covers and other bawdy songs.

Seven Old Ladies Locked in a Lavatory

Chorus:  Oh dear, what can the matter be?
              Seven old ladies locked in the lavatory
              They were there from Sunday to Saturday
              Nobody knew they was there

The first was the wife of a deacon in Dover
And though she was known as a bit of a rover
She liked it so much that she thought she'd stay over
And nobody knew she was there

   Chorus

The next was an athletic lady named Myrtle
Hopped over the pot like a steeplechase hurdle
Her glasses got hooked in the stay of her girdle
Nobody knew she was there

   Chorus

Now the next old lady was Abigail Humphrey
Who settled inside to make herself comfy
But then she found out she could not get her bum free
Nobody knew she was there

   Chorus

The next old lady was old Mrs. Bickle
Who found herself caught in a desperate pickle
She stopped at a pay booth and hadn't a nickel
So nobody knew she was there

   Chorus

The next was the Bishop of Chichester's daughter
Who went in to pass some superfluous water
She pulled on the chain and the rising tide caught her
Nobody knew she was there

   Chorus

The next old lady, Elizabeth Bender
Was doing all right 'til a vagrant suspender
Got all twisted up in her feminine gender
And nobody knew she was there

   Chorus

The last was a lady named Jennifer Pim
She only sat down on a personal whim
But she somehow got pinched 'twixt the cup and the brim
And nobody knew she was there

   Chorus

How about a 'Disaster-fest'..

              

Songs about natural (or man/human-caused) disasters.  It could go either way; originals or covers...

Kenny Rodgers Fest!

Rock on!

Kenny Rodgers Fest!

If enough people are interested, we could have a Kenny Rogers mini-fest starting now and lasting for two weeks. However, I have a condition. There has to be at least 6 submissions before it becomes an official mini-fest. Otherwise, it isn't really worth the effort of creating a jukebox and graphics. So everyone start recording your Kenny Rogers covers and posting them in the usual way. If and when I see that there are at least 6 submissions, I'll create the jukebox and graphics and add all of the submissions to the mini-fest plus any subsequent submissions within the timeframe of the mini-fest (Mar 21 - Apr 4).
