06 Jul 07 - 10:22 AM (#2095626) Subject: Lyr Req: Last Minstrel Show From: Jimmy C Looking for the lyrics of this song. I think it was recorded by Jean Redpath. Chorus contains these words "Lay me down Carolina, lay me down Don't want to wake up in the morning no more Sing me a slow sad song for this last time before they close, the Minstrel show> |
06 Jul 07 - 10:25 AM (#2095629) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Last Minstrel Show From: Celtaddict This is 'Before They Close the Minstrel Show' which is another wonderful song from Bob Coltman. Ed Trickett also recorded it. I'll look about a bit. |
06 Jul 07 - 10:30 AM (#2095634) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Last Minstrel Show From: Jeri It's in the DT: Before They Close the Minstrel Show, by Bob Coltman. The MIDI sounds like it has some serious problems, though. |

06 Jul 07 - 10:32 AM (#2095637) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Last Minstrel Show From: Celtaddict Crossposted! But the sheet music might be useful if the MIDI is on the fritz. |

06 Jul 07 - 04:04 PM (#2095855) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Last Minstrel Show From: Joe Offer We've had several threads requesting this song, usually as "Last Minstrel Show." I'm wondering why the confusion - do people get it mixed up with The Last Picture Show? I see Susanne(SKW) has it listed that way on her Website. Oh, now I see - Jean Redpath calls it "Last Minstrel Show" on her extraordinary Leaving the Land CD. -Joe- |
