If I can get this *&($%#*&^ microphone working, I surely will, FAIR ONE.

And WW, that was wonderful, here ya go, a great big old Mick Hug. You and I sing well together.

And by the way, Alice. I would love to give you a hug while I am at it, and if you don't mind. This campfire is wonderful......thanks for inviting us all. I sure hope it goes on for a while..............Now, how about a song by one of my favorite authors.........it's called "THE WIDOW'S WALK" by Brendan Nolan. FAIR ONE, I would like you to harmonize on the Chorus. Mick begins to play a 3/4 arpeggio on the 12 string....................

She stood by the window, as the waves crashed the shore,
To watch him come home, as he had times before.

CHORUS:
Oh, carry him home to me,
Break the sea down for him,
Carry my love home to me.

It's late in the year, and the storm winds awaken,
To the hardiest of sailors, the sea does not beckon

CHORUS

At their shady cove moorings, the small boats rock gently,
Safe from the sea winds, till the new season's plenty

CHORUS

This room is my refuge from the toils of the day,
It's here I find peace, and it's here I can pray, that you'll

CHORUS

If the sea take my love, to his grave in the ocean,
God make me a silkie, that I might lie with him................The guitar fades
