I've now sung at the Starry Plough six times, one song each time:

1. Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye (Irish)
2. My Grandfather's Clock (Work, mentioned above)
3. Jimmy Brown, the Newsboy (Carters?)
4. Times Are Getting Hard (A dust bowl ballad--or perhaps from an earlier hard time)
5. Free Grace (A spiritual from the Georgia Sea Island )(not a good choice: I usually sing bass and I was messing up the lead)
6. Abilene (Bob Gibson, last two verses my own)

Next week, maybe Green, Green Grass of Home
Upcoming: An Irish Ballad (Tom Lehrer), Mrs. McGrath (Irish), The Hermit (from an Oscar Brand "Bawdy Songs and Backroom Ballads" album), Finnegan's Wake, The Mountains of Mourne (Percy French), The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, Joe Hill, Hard Travellin', Down to Seeds and Stems Again Blues (George Frayne ["Commander Cody"]--this is the song I sang for Dan Milner and his partner Bob)...
