Thread Name: Copper Family
Subject: Copper Family
I just got home (here in the Wash. DC area) from a concert by the singing Copper Family of England...and it is one of those events that I want to shout about to the world...and here is this forum!! I have heard them on records and tapes for years, but they are so wonderful in person. If they come anywhere near you on this tour, take the opportunity to go! Bob Copper is 82 now, and though he seems to be healthy and in great voice, one never knows. The really nice thing is that in the large folkie community here, there a lot of us that knew their songs, and they were so happy to find people actually singing some of them. Now I get to head off to bed with the voice of Bob Copper leading 150 people in "Oh, Good Ale" running thru my head. I do love this stuff!!!
