Subject: RE: angels
Thamks folks. I found that earlier trace after I posted the request. It didn't look like Steve found any more words than Sorcha has, so maybe that's all there was. I was at the Yarra Junction Fiddler's Convention (Australia) last weekend and met an old (ish) man who was a bout tje same age as my father. We started swapping songs that we remembered from our old seventy-eights and this one came up. It sounds really nice done as an old time country style song. I still have a lot of my old seventy-eights but I'm trying to find out if anyone perfected that laser idea for playing them. What do you know? Here in Australia they are still pretty common in junk stores etc, in fact, I was at a church fete a while ago where they actually gave me a heap of them to get rid of them. When I got home there were songs by Little Richard and Gene Vincent and all sorts of great names that some people would kill for. It's a funny world.
