Thread Name: Songs You Don't Do Anymore
Subject: RE: Songs You Don't Do Anymore
I find more and more I am singing the old songs, well-worn and well-known to many, less and less. Actually it's a bit of a shame -- they are so timeless -- songs like Lord Lovell, Plaisir d'Amour, The Wicked Youth, The Farmer's Wife, The Drummer and the Cook, the House Carpenter, etc. I am gravitating more toward more recent creations, like Nightrider's Lament, I Remember Loving You, and King of MErcy Canyon, because they have a fresher, newer tone to them. But with a couple of glasses of good wine, I'll drift back through the centuries and sing anything from Chaucer on up!
