Thread Name: Harris and the Mare - murder or not?
Subject: RE: Harris and Mare - murder or not?
Mary Travers performed the song at a concert rather early in the PP&M reunion.
She did a very creditable job--- I think she sang it in a baritone register :-)
It is an interesting melody, one that goes from a tuneless--- but not really--- narrative, to some rather soaring heights.
Takes a helluva singer to deliver it with the dynamics that are there. Which maybe explains why Stan Rogers and Mary Travers are among the few who can deliver on its potential.
