When I play with the band we like to do vocal medleys. The Boys of the Old Brigade/The Outlawed Rapparee, Sean South From Gerryowen/Roddy Mc Corley(due to the sharred melody).

When I play a gig by myself I like to do set pieces with a song, a poem, and a song. Or a poem first then a song.

Spainish Johnny/When the Works All Done This Fall. The Sea Wife/ Three Score and Ten. Or The Child's/ Sully's Pail(recited)? Coal Tattoo. Poems and songs together are a powerful combination.

Susan, Do you know the Staudt family in Montpelier? The ran a health club and lived on the hill up near The Horn of The Moon?
