Nick E	The Parting Glass, About what? (72* d)	Parting Glass, a song for sots?	14 Nov 08
The Masterless Men have recorded a version of The Parting Glass on their latest album.(I assume it is the latest as they just started playing it on CJYQ....RadioNewfoundland.ca) They music & lyrics are in the DigiTrad database A very fine song, and I have never heard any other version, so nothing to compare it to. It strikes me that It could well be an alternative to Auld Ang Syne. It also seems I can read it as a song where the protagonist is a pub denizen who has drunk everyone under the table and thinks in an intoxicated state he has a shot at some lassie he has never really had a chance with. So my question is, is it a fond farewell, or just another drunk at the bar, or a bit of each? Whack fall the day, Nick
