GUEST,Joe | Lyr Add: In Derry Vale (Londonderry Air) (8) | RE: Lyr Add: In Derry Vale (Londonderry Air) | 30 Mar 21 |
My name is Joe and I play piano and accordion and sing as well. I have heard the tune but I heard john McCormack's 1914 recording but James the man I get support from put on this song but I knew nothing about it but I knew the tune as other songs but now doing more reviews more I do not play and sing much now as I did years ago. In a recording of John McCormack singing another song to the same tune called O Mary I Love You which I found on a 1993 cd of his and others' songs with piano playing by Jerry Mure who in the 20s and 30s played for many singers in that time from Scotland and the rest of Britain. Many hymns have sung this tune and so have sung its first tune and sent it to the USA and also to England and set new songs to the same 1894 tune that have nothing to do with the 1894 words at all. The first words that folks still sing was written in 1911 by JS Roberson of this tune that was using the new sound we know today was the song called Danny Boy has been recorded first by George Marshall and has bene sung through the decades and still is sung today. |
