Thread Name: ADD: Mother Carey's Chicks (Ron Baxter/Rapunzel)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mother Carey's Chicks
Talking it over last night with Rachel she said what she sings is Belovar rather than Belfar - my mistake. That said, originally Ron's lyric named The Lois, but as that loss didn't involve bereavement he changed it to Belovar, which begs other questons too I suppose, but as Ron won't be within the vicinity of a computer until Monday I guess we'll have to wait.

As for Lost, it used to play just fine at the old Fleetwood Folk Club Myspace page, but who knows what will happen now that Myspace has so spendidly shot themselves in the foot?

Here's the link anyway: http://www.myspace.com/fleetwoodfolkclub

It's the first song on the player & it plays okay for me:

Lost - Words: Ron Baxter / Music: Ross Campbell

Ross - cittern & voice
Rapunzel - voice
Sedayne - voice & muted low whistle

Other version by Pint and Dale...

As a few of you will have seen, for the last two years we've done Lost as part of Ron's Heritage Walk on the Saturday of the Fylde Festival - it's the perfect anthem for those lost trawlers and men, and the musical counterpart of the memorial sculpture which stands on the pomenade. Mother Carey's Chicks is the sequel!
