Thread Name: identify these songs? I'll sit down?& Lango Lee?
Subject: identify these songs?
1. fragment of a song sung by Frank Warner on a WNYC broadcast (Oscar Brands Folk Song Festival), recorded
before live audience at Washington Heights YMCA in February of unknown year.
I'll sit down and write a song
I'll write it short and I'll write it strong
With every word I'll let fall a tear
Will end my song, farewell my dear...
Does anyone know what year this concert took place? (Was the YMCA a frequent site for Oscar Brand's program, can
the date be placed to some period of time given the venue???)
What is this song?
2.February 14, 1973 WNYC American Music Festival - Community Church East
described as "Langa Lee" An old Irish tune. Late 18th century
any information about this song?
Thanks! Thomas.
