SKYE BOAT SONG:
certainly a good choice :
Written by Sir Harold Bolton in 1884
music added some time later, by one: Annie McCloud
I think we can all say with CERTAINTY it is traditional - and everybody will know it, and sing along - a nice song with a nice tune:
HOWEVER if you sing unaccompanied, which I do, the only drawback I find is that some silly berk starts to PLAY it, and drowns me out
LISTEN UP EVERYONE of you who has "twitchy fingers"
UNACCOMPANIED MEANS UNACCOMPANIED
Go ahead and sing it !!!
Best regards from
