thanks, joe offer! my code name is now 'deborah'. i've just signed up officially. a dear friend of mine told me that if i started i'd be hooked. well, tony burns, here i am.

re: "somebody".

i have the cd. connie dover doesn't put all the lyrics on the liner. i'm not sure i'm catching all the words correctly. the liner notes say "An 18th C. code song about the exiled Bonnie Prince Charlie, and one of many songs which express yearning for a Stuart king on the throne of Scotland. I have set the lyrics to a variant of the Irish tune, "The Star of the County Down". the first verse starts, "My heart is sore, I dare not tell My heart is sore for Somebody. I would walk the winter's night All for the sight of Somebody".

by the way....great cd. i recommend it. ~deborah
