Thread Name: Lyr Req: Coll MacKenzie (Archie Fisher?)
Subject: Lyr Req: COLL MACKENZIE
"Coll MacKenzie" is sung by Archie Fisher, the great folksinger and musician. I think he wrote it too. I do not understand some of the words. If you can give to me help I will appreciate it.
I saw Archie Fisher sing "Coll MacKenzie" on YouTube.com. I think something was wrong with the video because I could not read his lips to understand the words.
I love YouTube. I have listend to so much folk music on that site, such as Bernice Johnson Reagon and Buffy Ste. Marie singing with Pete Seeger on Rainbow Quest, Hamish Henderson, The Seekers, The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers, Mary Black, Mary Robinson, and the Pogues but I have to wait to be older, The Chieftains, Andy Irvine, and many more. I found it this year and you can save the favourite music to the computer. People listen and then are encouraged to cover original songs which is good. Someday I will play my recorder and my violin.
My father said it is permitted to ask you. He accesses Mudcat.org and YouTube sometimes, but he resonates to American blues, unlike me who is lifted up by Celtic mostly.   
Sincerely,
Marianne
