Subject: The art of being a Morris musician From: GUEST,A broadside hack Date: 29 Jan 23 - 04:54 AM A new episode of "The Old Songs Podcast" features Squeezy John Spiers discussing the art of being a musician for Morris sides, with special focus on his love of the Princess Royal tune. Lots of history talk, too, about the tune's origins. Might be of interest. Have a listen here. |
