Thread Name: Help: 'Tara'
Subject: Searching for 'Tara'
My father used to say that my grandfather and he were the only 2 people in the world who knew this song.I don't know if he was joking or not. He taught it to me when I was a teenager. Now that they have both passed on I was wondering, does anyone know of a song called "TARA". This is not "The Harp that once" etc. The opening lines are
" I heard a voice from the distant past
And it seemed to be singing a glad refain
". I have never came across the song in any book or on any record. I can only remember parts of it now, but can go through my notes and get the whole thing, unless somebody else comes up with it.
