Paragon	Origin:Bells of Rhymney (Idris Davies/Pete Seeger) (92* d)	RE: Bells of Rhymney	01 Nov 04
Has anyone been able to find a recording of John Denver singing 'Sad Bells of Rhymney' I am from Rhymney and I saw him live in Cardiff twice, where he sang the song both times. As the Church which is known as St., Davids or the 'Top Church' is where I was christened, confirmed, and married, I would love a recording of JD singing this poem. Gail Morris Penpedairheol ---------------------------------------------------------------- John Denver recorded Bells of Rhymney with the Mitchell Trio in about 1966 just before Peter Paul & Mary recorded 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' and 'For Bobbi'. You'll find John's first acoustic 12-string rendition of Bells of Rhymney on the 'Violets of the Dawn' album by the Mitchell Trio (this album was recorded shortly after John replaced Chad Mitchell.) This sure is an interesting thread. Thank you all. Edward Minnesota, USA
