Scotty G,

Yeh- long live Davy Steele an' his sangs. I learnt his "Collier's Way" to sing at a Dalkeith miner's wake, little knowing he was soon to go, too........A lament for struggling miners----must remember to post it.....

At Davy's funeral, the sound system died during all the eulogies, but came back on for Davy's sangs with the boys (recorded, of course). He'll be sadly missed.

For sheer power of feeling, I always remember

"The Cold Days of February" -- Robin Williamson/Incredible String Band.

"The Island" -- Paul Brady.

"Wild Hurricane" -- Sandy Wright/Russell's House

"Land of the Leal" -- Lady Nairne

"Waterloo" -- Jim Malcolm

"Ballad of the sad Young Men" -- Landesman/Wolf, as sung by Corrina Hewat/Bachue. + innumerable Peter Hammill wrist-slashers!!!
