Thread Name: Tune up: Fantasy Folk Circle
Subject: RE: Tune up: Fantasy Folk Circle
Since we've had some cowboy songs, how 'bout a sheep song? I'd like to do "George's Son" by John Kirkpatrick; a ballad setting of Thomas Hardy's "far From the Madding Crowd", Chapter 5. (I like them literary ballads). So as not to take up space here, I will post the lyrics for both George's Son and "The Land" (Kipling/Bellamy) on other threads. I really wish you could hear the tunes...
