Subject: RE: Quoting One Song At the End of Another
Mbo, if you can transcribe My Old Man for me as the CB&TM do it after Father's Grave, I would be eternally grateful.

But back to the thread: It may not be folk, but there's a song about "While the (name an instrument) played the Bonaparte's Retreat" (then they do a solo on the named instrument). And in The Teakettle That Sang Like People, Ed McCurdy lists the songs the teakettle sings, including Annie Laurie, Road to Mandalay, Lo Hear The Gentle Lark, and "several things from Rigoletto" - great story - if you don't know it, seek it out! And in Green Fields of France/No Man's Land they ask Did the band play The Last Post in chorus? Did the pipes play The Flowers of the Fooooorest?
