06 Feb 21 - 11:07 AM (#4091785) Subject: Tune Req: The Airy Bachelor From: Thompson Watching the 1918 film Knocknagow, there are various songs sprinkled through, including The Airy Bachelor. I can find words but no performance of this. Did find this piece about the music used in the (silent) film. Is there a recording anywhere? |
