hey Strupag that Blair song sound amazing ... and right up my street... I have been messing around with Edith Piaf songs for years ... another street singer who 'grabbed' song from other street singers... so the french chorus stuff mixed with the Glasgow sounds really made for me.
And as for mr jim Mc lean... WOW! Cruel is the Snow has to be one of my favorite ever melodies ... I would love a wee shot at that... and the BARRAS THE BARRAS, THEIR NO IN ROME OR PARIS..... fantastic!!
so how do I get to hear all those tunes... ?
Cruel is the snow I kinda know to sing the chorus but not really the verses ...In fact this year I read a great book SCOTLANDS STORY and for the first time I got the full horrendous tradegy that was the Glencoe massacre... It was this time of year eh? I felt like driving up and laying flowers.
I cant believe those soldier befreinded those poor souls, eating with them, playing sports with them, dancing with them, for weeks before slaughtering them in their beds.
terrible.
anyway Great to have a folk support group
