Subject: RE: Lyr Req: slowing down to lethagy From: Herga Kitty Date: 14 Oct 03 - 05:35 PM Kevin - have you heard it? I think it might be by Robert Service (if not, another song that Robin sings is!). Kitty |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: slowing down to lethargy From: Charley Noble Date: 14 Oct 03 - 05:46 PM This parody of "Rolling Down to Old Maui" is overdone, although it might have utility if it were being used as a capstan shanty for two or three hours of heaving them pawls. Hilary Spencer does a grat job of singing this one. Brings tears to my eyes. Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: slowing down to lethargy From: Herga Kitty Date: 14 Oct 03 - 06:22 PM PA Thanks. Oh well, at least I've been consistent between threads on who I thought I'd heard sing it, even if I got the writing attribution wrong. Now I'm wondering which Robert Service concoction Robin was singing. Kitty |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: slowing down to lethargy From: John Routledge Date: 14 Oct 03 - 08:36 PM At Cleckheaton FF 2002 Hilary Spencer sang it fronting 40 of the Shellback Chorus. Was well received!! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: slowing down to lethargy From: Charley Noble Date: 15 Oct 03 - 08:24 AM John- I'm sure the audience was t-r-a-n-s-f-i-x-e-d with delight. Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: slowing down to lethargy From: Mermaid Date: 15 Oct 03 - 09:45 AM Yes, SDTL is a parody from the pen of Toby Fagenson (I think he's from the US) and I'd agree with John R - and Hilary's rendition on her latest CD is super. Actually I've also heard Dave Kidman sing it, I think it was at Barnsley, got a great reception. He had an extra verse that fitted the shanty element too. Haven't seen him around much lately though - hope he's not been forced under ground. |
