  The Road Goes Ever On (thing)@Everything2.com
In The Road Goes Ever On, Donald Swann collects seven of J.R.R. Tolkien's poems and sets them to music as a song cycle, arranged so that they may be played and sung individually or back to back.
The cycle opens with the title song, The Road Goes Ever On, a variation on the theme of Bilbo's earlier song which appears in The Hobbit, Roads go ever ever on; the tune of this is echoed in the sixth and final songs.
Bilbo sings The Road Goes Ever On to Gandalf as he is leaving the Shire to live with elves in Rivendell; these are his last words to his old friend before his departure.

 Amazon.com: The Road Goes Ever On: A Song Cycle: Books: Donald Swann,J. R. R. Tolkien
The Road Goes Ever On was first published in the early 1960s, when Tolkien was still answering a great deal of fan mail asking questions about Middle-earth.
The Road Goes Ever On thus provides a glimpse of Elven history and mysticism found nowhere else.
The Road Goes Ever On is an interesting acquisition for keen Tolkienists for all the reasons other reviews have already gone into.

  [minstrels] The Road Goes Ever On -- J R R Tolkien
There was a wonderful piece of prose accompanying it, comparing the Road to a river, with every path a tributary, and every doorstep a spring, which I'd love to have typed in, but I don't have the book with me. Martin.
Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and under star, Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar.
When Beowulf goes to confront the dragon, he takes a company of 11 men, then brings a 12th, the thief himself, to show the way to the dragon's lair.

 The Road Goes Ever On
The "Road" pictures have survived first of all because they are still funny: the Hope-Crosby team was an unstoppable (and unpredictable) force.
Dorothy Lamour later said that she had wasted the time she spent memorizing the script of the first "Road" picture, "Road to Singapore," because Bob and Bing ad-libbed to such an extent that she rarely knew where they were in the script anyway.
For starters, Bob and Bing in the "Road" pictures were never forthright pillars of the community: they were always cast as lovable rogues one misstep away from lengthy prison sentences.

 The Road Goes Ever On - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Road Goes Ever On is a song cycle that has been published as sheet music and as an audio recording.
An LP record of this song cycle was recorded on 12 June 1967, with Donald Swann on piano and William Elvin singing.
The third edition of The Road Goes Ever On was packaged with a CD that duplicated the contents of the LP record from the 1970's (except for the Tolkien-read poem), as well as two new recordings.

 The Daily Cardinal - ‘The Road’ goes ever on for Cale, Clapton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Their new duet album The Road to Escondido is the culmination of their friendship and musical skill, and could possibly be the most listenable album of the year.
In the end, Escondido is an album that’s excellent not because there are several distinctive songs but because it’s an album that keeps the same feel and energy until the last track.
Clapton and Cale may be on the road to Escondido, but with the group they’re traveling with and the comfort in each other’s company, there’s no hurry—on their part or the listeners—to get there.

Earlier, when leaving The Shire, Frodo tells the other hobbits Bilbo's thoughts on 'The Road': "He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: its springs were at every doorstep, and every path was its tributary.

 The Road Goes Ever On... : I pursue it with eager feet
Well my Road to weight loss started 5/1/03 when my mother passed away from years of illness as a result of obesity (diabetes, heart falure, to name a few but not all).
I took care of her all those years she was sick, and when she died I felt like I couldn't go on either.
I left wondering how in the world I'd ever be able to loose the weight, but I decided to give it a week, and follow everything they told me to do (water, vegs, even a little exercise!?!?) I even ate out with DH that weekend (with in points).

The second edition of The Road Goes Ever On, published in 1978, adds the poem 'Bilbo's Last Song,' which I have included at the end of this review.
The book's more attractive shorn of the dust jacket than it is with it as the DJ has too much text on it whereas the book itself says simply The Road Goes Ever On with some Elvish script for decoration.

“The Road goes ever on and on,” they sing, and boy, does it ever.
Steeped in the literature of long ago, its sagas, romances, and eternal themes, Tolkien was not immune to its cliches, and much of the book reminded me of old Westerns or cop shows that fall back on the same ready-made formulas.
We’re in one, of course; but I mean: put into words, you know, told by the fireside, or read out of a great big book with red and fl letters, years and years afterwards.

 Where in the Wild is Gildor Inglorian? — Middle-earth Role Playing Community
He is a convenient tool to provide Frodo with temporary relief from the pursuit of the Black Riders, a place to sleep unnoticed in the Shire, and a means by which to convey news to people in lands far beyond Frodo's experience.
A few along the main road may have, in ancient times, had accomodations for Men and Elves, but by the end of the Third Age, it seems likely few if any such accomodations would have remained.
Tolkien expands Gildor's world slightly in The Road Goes Ever On by assigning a purpose to the particular journey which Frodo interrupts: Gildor and his companions are returning from a pilgrimage.

I’m a big LOTR fan, and as I did this bible study, Bilbo’s traveling song came to mind… “the road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began.” The letter daleth which is used for this octave of Psalm 119.
And the first step to getting on the road is to go through the door.
David is choosing to emulate God, and he is able to do this by laying the Lord’s judgements before him like a road to travel on, or like a lamp unto his feet that guides his path.

Available for the first time in 25 years, this book of songs and sheet music, a collaboration between J. Tolkien and the composer Donald Swann, will delight Tolkien fans everywhere as the book to stand beside their copies of Lord of The Rings, the essays, poems and calendars.
In this song book the composer Donald Swann gives Tolkien characters Bilbo, Treebeard, Sam Gamgee and Tom Bombadil tunes for their ballads of the road.
Professor Tolkien approved of this and added a tune of his own, decorated the book in his own hand and added a glossary of Elvish terms and lore that appears nowhere else.
