I recently did an arrangement of "Monto" for 3-part men's chorus which I had hoped would be performed by a choir touring Newfoundland & the Maritimes this past summer. Unfortunately, lack of rehearsal time led to its fall to the cutting room floor. If anyone is interested in a copy of the sheet music, please email me - I would love just to know that it has been performed at least once somewhere, anywhere, Carnegie Hall, Shea Stadium, your favourite local pub....

I mention it here also to give due credit to Bill Kennedy, whose "Fresh Verse" (see 04 Jun 02 in the thread) I "borrowed" (without permission - my apologies, Bill, but thanks for putting in Leonard Cohen!) & revised for my version to add more Canadian Content (I know, I know, not all the bands I named are Canadian, but it had to scan & rhyme. Besides, the Irish Rovers, at least part of them, have retired to my home town, Victoria BC).:

Now ya know the Irish Rovers,
Figgy Duff, the Clumsy Lovers,
Great Big Sea, U2, the Drovers,
And Leonard Cohen.
The songs go back to fifty-two,
When asked if now they're surely through,
Ashley yells: "There's more to do,
"Pog ma thoin!".

Feel free to email me at tony@patriarche.net if you are interested in the arrangement.
