Ah yes, Redditch; I was meaning to call Bryn this weekend and check where the venue's going to be next Sat.

I don't have any formal or operatic vocal training, just so people know...though it is something I seem to be asked quite a lot.

McGuinn's version of Housewife's Lament can be found HERE, by way of comparison...it's actually the only other version I've heard; I don't get the impression the song is widely sung here in the UK.

I had a stab at the Lone Pilgrim right at the end of yesterday's session, but I was just too tired by then and it sucked...will hopefully get it right at my next session in two weeks.

Thanks to everybody for keeping it so positive thus far...though I fully expect somebody to post a bastardised version of the words to All Fool's Day including a reference to penile boundaries any time soon. Maybe there's a song challenge there, actually...
