Subject: Lyr Add: MAGINOT WALTZ (Ralph McTell) From: The Walrus Date: 31 May 02 - 07:08 PM This song has been running through my head for the last few hours (some would say there's nothing to get in its way) and this is an attempt to exorcise it, as much as anything.
I've checked the database and the forum search and come up with no hits for charabanc or Maginot and few for Brighton (none relevant), so, here goes. I picked it up off the radio many years ago and, for the life of me, I can't remember who it's by. (The title, of course, is deceptive. Maginot was only a sergeant-major by the end of the Great War. The Maginot Line was very much for the Second World War.) I hope someone finds this useful. (It certainly seems to have helped get it out of my head.) Regards |

I have just been loaned a CD of Mark Dowding (Travelling Tales) which includes this lovely song. The sleeve notes say 'A song of innocence just prior to the Great War'. Now to learn it with guitar.. |
