Would you believe, Sandy, that I HAVE The Real Bahamas and sing "I Bid You Goodnight" tho not with the same style that the Spence family does. You are right, it is a great song. And there are a lot of wonderful things on Sharon Mt.Harmony. I keep thinking I'll learn "Turtle Dove Done Drooped His Wings.
Sandy, on "the Horn of the Hunter", does the same tune just cycle every two lines, with A and B endings? Or is the verse different from the chorus?
The folks I sing harmony with these days, a lot of them are not very big on anything that even vaguely smacks of religion, unfortunately. (It's a pub sing). Can do 'Drive Dull Care Away", maybe, no closer tho.
MusicMan, someone just gave me a transcription of that African song. I'll get it out and play it. Also the Freedom Africa song is a good rouser, and Azekatarle, if that's how you spell it.
Blessings,
Barbara
