| GUEST,Another source--the Bard of Armagh? | Origin: Saint James Infirmary Blues (290* d) | RE: History of Saint James Infirmary Blues? | 25 Jun 07 |
Does anyone know how the Bard of Armagh fits into this history of Streets of Laredo/St. James Infirmary. It's the dying song of an old musician/poet, named Brady (from the 18th Century) not a cowboy, but the melody is Laredo. The earliest recording I have is from 1920 by the popular Irish tenor John McCormack, on ASV CD AJA 5119. | |||
