Will Fly	Origin: Early One Morning (just as the sun was...) (47)	RE: Origin: Early One Morning (just as the sun was...)	10 Aug 18
This song, and others like it, always remind me of primary school days and singing in class with the New National Song Book while the teacher played the piano. Some others (as I recall) were: Sweet Lass of Richmond Hill The Minstrel Boy The Ash Grove Oh, No John The British Grenadiers The Lincolnshire Poacher and many others. The Lincolnshire Poacher is a fascinating example of a song being carried by sailors to the Caribbean and being slowly transformed into Sonny Rollins' jazz composition "St. Thomas"! The book, and those singing sessions on a Friday afternoon in a Lancashire primary school, are fond memories.
