Martin Ryan Parting songs (144* d) RE: PARTING SONGS 14 Aug 98

"Health to the Company" (in the DT) is often sung as the final number at singing sessions in Ireland. Its a bit more upbeat than 'The Parting Glass"! Mind you, some of the phrases have been knocked about so much as to be nearly meaningless.

The tune in the DT is basically correct - but the phrasing is odd. It's usually sung in much more even time.

Regards
