Subject: RE: Irish Songs for female singers
Brigid, check out the DigiTrad (you can access it at the top of the page)--the lyrics to "Kilkelly" are there. In my limited experience, I've only heard the rendition on "Music at Matt Molloy's," which is stark and beautiful. Also, Margaret is quite curious about your harmony to Johnny Lovely Johnny, so if its not too much, can you please send that along? Thanks.

Neil, you must have read our minds--Margaret learned Bonny Light Horseman last month and is teaching me a harmony. I suggested Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier to her, and just yesterday she commented that she didn't think she could do Willie McBride 'cause it was too emotional. Some people at the session just plow right through that and Waltzing Matilda without batting an eye. Thanks for the sugestions.

M
