Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Generations of Change (Armour)
Steven Byrne mentioned Jim Malcolm in his 2015 posting. His wife Susie Allan sang Generations of Change on her 1998 album Tipsy Courting. She noted:

"Matt [Armour] could have written this song specially for my family. My mum is from fisher folk—the Gardners of Anstruther, my dad’s family are farmers, my brothers spent years working offshore on oilrigs, and now we wonder how our next generation will make a living from the land, sea and sky."

And both Susie's father Charlie Allan and Susie and Jim's daughter Beth Malcolm are well-known singers, so we might also talk about generations of continuity ;-)
