I just posted this information on another Mudcat thread on this song, but felt that it fit better on this thread:

Speaking of great versions of "Sail Away Ladies", check out this YouTube video:

Excerpt from Peter, Bethany & Rufus: The Spirit of Woodstock. Bethany and Rufus play with Mady Kouyate (kora) Bong Jean Baptiste (percussion) and Sheila Anozier (dance).

Bethany visits Mudcat and I hope she sees this post.

Bethany, that video is wonderful! I love the sound of your voice and I love the merging of the African kora and drum with the bass and the electric guitar. The instrumentation is wonderful!

Thanks so much for posting that video.

Also, I failed to mention in my original post that I also liked the addition of a dancer's interpretation of the song and music.

Your version of that song rocks!

[No pun intended]
