Subject: RE: Forgotten Old Chestnuts
Jerry,
I am pretty sure that I still do a lot of the truly traditional stuff that I learned in the 60s. But looking through my songbook I realized that I can't remember my sources for lots of the material. I am not even sure what decade I learned the oldest songs in my repertoire in.
"Traditional" stuff I think I remember doing in the 60s (I still do these pretty reguarly) no particular order Mary don't you weep Water is wide Banks of the Ohio Geordie Old gospel ship Handsome Molly Irene Goodnight Lady Mary Lady from Carlisle Freight Train I do Tom Dooley but not Kingston Trio version I do several different Matty Groves but not Joan's version
Still do a little of the Singer/songwriter stuff from that era Last thing on my mind Where I'm bound 4 Rode By Early Morning Rain
Not sure these are the sorts of things you had in min.
