Subject: RE: Fifty-Two Folk Songs
This week (how time flies) at 52fs: more Napoleon. 52fs brings you Napoleonic songs in inveterate streams - enough to take the whole world along. This week's songs are:

The bonny bunch of roses, given a bit of a makeover with a drone in A and added whistle.

Boney's lamentation, unaccompanied, straight through, no messing.

And The Unborn Byron by Peter Blegvad; not a folk song and not about Napoleon, but a kind of happy surrealist alternative to the last verse of the B. B. of R. Also, a beautiful song. With flute accompaniment.
