Subject: RE: Wild Rover - do folks still sing this song?
Guest TJ Agree totally with your sentiments, though I do believe that all too often vigour takes the place of interpretation. Apart from Finnegan's Wake I can think of beautiful versions from source singers, of all the songs you mention. Would add 'Black Velvet Band' and 'Johnny I Hardly Knew You' to the list. Jim Carroll
