Subject: RE: Obit: Lonnie Donegan
We were sitting there
just me and my friends
playing folk music
having some drinks
We played the session
at Mick Foley's bar
the night Lonnie Donegan
put down his guitar
He grew up in Glasgow
guitar in his hand
he started playing jazz in
Chris Barber's Band
We played the session
at Mick Foley's bar
the night Lonnie Donegan
put down his guitar
He played skiffle
he was Puttin' on the Style
He put folk music on the charts
for a while
We played the session
at Mick Foley's bar
the night Lonnie Donegan
put down his guitar
When his heart gave in
music was the cure
He died in November
in the middle of a tour
We played the session
at Mick Foley's bar
the night Lonnie Donegan
put down his guitar
