So here's my update from the first request, here: First stab I was a bit disappointed with the single offering for June (Blaydon Races?!) so I did a bit of very strenuous legwork and found these: https://mainlynorfolk.info/copperfamily/songs/roseinjune.html http://glostrad.com/darling-miss-kitty/ https://www.vwml.org/roudnumber/1202 ...and 'eres the new fangled video thingies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No2qRfevZg8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vtKb4r_HCo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgZZ7z0JERM You'll notice there's at least 3 different ways of murdering this song, none of which overlap 100% and all of which seem to have fairly different tunes. Result! |
