George: That's fine. I had found Barry's midi and went looking for the song. Just wondered if anyone was aware of it. It's very short and I know I've read it before. It's got me thinking though that I might go looking for some First Nations lullabies.
Note to all you Maritimers. I asked twice at the market for salt cod and they didn't have it but they got some in and are selling it by the slab! Codfish hash on Monday, methinks.
Any songs out there about "Jigs Dinner" or "Dinner" as I like to call it? (Not Aunt Martha's Sheep, Please!)

Joe: That's a very nice piece and it doesn't hurt the other song at all. What fascinates me most though is the progression of the English language in America. I doubt that many would even know what the "Gloamin'" is let alone, put it in context.
I spent a fair bit of time at my Granny's when I was a lad & we listened to a fair number of radio shows "The Shadow" for example. I've done a fair bit of long distance driving, with the music, and found myself listening to those shows all over again. Even allowing for the "Big Radio Voice" of the day, there is a marked difference between mid twentieth century, American English & the way Americans
speak today. You're evolving!
