Thread Name: Improbable songs, unlikely singers
Subject: RE: BS: Improbable songs, unlikely singers
The great Lonnie Donegan singing Kevin Barry? I love it. Paul Robeson, I think, did it too. And the hamburger disposal factory doing the First Time? Not bad, not as good as Roberta, and certainly not as good as Paggy Seeger. I actually own an ancient single of Horton's North to Alaska. If the info given in the first posting proves to be accurate I may be tempted to melt it down. Or is this the equivalent of book-burning? What Carthy documentary? Why do other people get better programs on their tv's than me? All I can find is big brother, very soft porn, eastenders, etc - someone else is getting Martin Carthy singing Heartbreak Hotel?!

Hey, I just thought - Tom Jones recording with the Chieftains!
