Thread Name: ADD: Song for the Mira (Allister MacGillivray)^^^
Subject: RE: Song for the Mira
I have that LP, and it is where I first heard the song. It's by the Steel City Players, but I can't recall who sings it on that LP. Someone who sounds like one of the Rankin women, but who isn't one of the Rankin women. I didn't see the show that year although I did see a production when it was still The Rise And Follies.

Maybe I have my ABC program set up wrong. Everything sounds too slow. I'm new at this. For instance, some of the dances on Bruce O's page sound extremely slow. When I triple the speed they sound more like dances, or something that Ashley MacIsaac might play. Maybe people were more patient back then. I'm told that I sing sea shanties way too fast, and that no sailor could ever work at the pace I'd set if I was shantyman. Maybe it really is just my hurried, impatient personality. Pass that shaker of valium, please.:)
