Dear Lowlanders,

Since I just rejoined the list, I missed the beginning of this subject. But
what Diederik describes about children hopping on your lap,  reminds me of a
"bakerversje":

"Een damespaard, een damespaard, een damespaard gaat zo (hop slowly)

Een herenpaard, een herenpaard, een herenpaard gaat zo (hop a bit faster)

En een boerenpaard, een boerenpaard, een boerenpaard gaat zo (hop really
wild)

Oei, gat in de weg" (child 'disappears' between your knees)

Houdoe,

Jenny

Hi, Jenny, and welcome back!

It's really nice to have you back and to hear from you.

East of the border there are such *bakerversjes*, too.

You might be interested to know that there will be a place to collect these
and many other traditional things in our soon-to-come online Traditions
series ("Things They Left US : Folk traditions of the Lowlands worldwide").
People here and "out there" really like this sort of stuff, and I hear a lot
about people collecting lullabies and other children's songs and also
nursery rhymes.

But the new presentation goes beyond that. It includes anything that can be
prefixed by "traditional" and "folk". Here are the categories so far:


   - *Belief, Taboo & Superstition*
   Geloof, taboe en bijgeloof
   Glauben, Tabu und Aberglauben
   - *Myths, Legends & Other Tales*
   Mythen, legenden en andere verhalen
   Mythen, Legenden und andere Mären
   - *Customs & Rituals*
   Gebruiken en rituelen
   Bräuche und Rituale
   - *Celebrations*
   Vieringen
   Feiern
   - *Seasons & Cycles*
   Tijden en cycli
   Zeiten und Zyklen
   - *Environment*
   Leefmilieu
   Umwelt
   - *T**rades, Professions & Livelihood*
   Ambachten, beroepen en levensonderhoud
   Gewerbe, Berufe und Lebensunterhalt
   - *Arts & Crafts*
   Kunst en handwerk
   Kunst und Handwerk
   - *Food & Drink*
   Eten en drinken
   Essen und Trinken
   - *Music, Song, Dance & Musical Instruments*
   Muziek, liederen, dansen en muziekinstrumenten
   Musik, Lieder, Tänze und Musikinstrumente
   - *Rhymes & Ditties*
   Rijmpjes en deuntjes
   Reime und Spielliedchen
   - *Fun & Games*
   Pret en spel
   Spaß und Spiel
   - *Sayings, Proverbs & Aphorisms*
   Spreekwoorden en spreuken
   Sprichwörter und Sinnsprüche

So, folks, get your stuff ready for it!

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
