Thread Name: What's your favourite folk reminiscence?
Subject: RE: What's your favourite folk reminiscence?
The only thing that ever stopped me in my tracks halfway to the bar with an empty guinness glass---Sean Cannon's opening lines of Burns' "Bonnie Doon"; I've been a shameless mimic ever since. Wee Danny Kyle's "Yawning Song" [and the incredible audience reaction] is another vivid recollection; heard it many times, but, sadly, no more. Like most of the gang here, I could write a book; The Furies, Battlefield, Magic Lantern, the Grehan Sisters, Archie Fisher--and all his siblings bar the one in Australia,the High Level Ranters, etc.,--etc-----tons of space , but time has its limits!
