28 Jun 20 - 09:31 AM (#4061869) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Songs by Andrew McKay From: Crane Driver Thank you Joe. We've produced a book of the songs we have written based mostly on local legends and stories from the Swansea and Gower regions of South Wales (52 at the time of publication) called "Copper, Cockles and Inklemakers". Copper was the source of Swansea's prosperity, cockles a local delicacy collected from the shores of Gower, and Inklemakers? that's a local dialect word meaning 'busy people', which we all are. The book is A4, spiral bound, professionally printed, with each song spread over two pages, with melody, words and background notes. Available from our website, for which Ned (Splott Man) has conveniently provided a link above. "Lifeboat Horses" is in there, as are "Dead Reckoning", "Navigator Lady", "Closing of the Day" and many more. We're always happy for other people to take up and sing our songs - that's what they're for. Andrew "Crane Driver" McKay and "Sussex" Carole Etherton |

I've kept a copy of 'Pennbucky to Llangenny' recording all these years. Every song is a winner. Good to see you on the FSGW 2020 program. voyager |
