I've "sung" along with many a song in my time, but Wild Rover is the only one I've ever "sung" solo, and it was entirely unintentional. Someone in the pub asked for it in our session one New Year's Eve, so I started it up, expecting everyone to join in. After one solo verse I had no option but to carry on. The only joining-in was the usual banging on the table. I kind of thought that I'd stunned everyone into silence with my terrible singing, but at the end I got raucous cheers and clapping. I think it was because they'd heard me playing tunes for years but had never heard me sing. Brave lad, the poor thing, they must've thought...
