Subject: the spade by Tommy Sands From: Den Date: 26 Mar 00 - 07:19 PM A number of years ago I saw Tommy Sands in concert and he did a story about a spade. Does anyone know if that was ever recorded or if anyone can help out with the words. Thanks Den. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: the spade by Tommy Sands From: Den Date: 27 Mar 00 - 07:11 PM Thanks a million Alison and Ulli. I remember Tommy doing this in concert a while back and thought it was great. Ulli my sister lives in Kilkeel about 12 miles from Rostrevor so I'll get her to check out the address and see if she can pick up the album. Thanks again Den. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: the spade by Tommy Sands From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 21 May 02 - 09:39 AM I seem to remember hearing a variant of this story about borrowing a fiddle. By the time the borrower gets to the house of the borrowee he has convinced himself that she won't lend it to him - and abuses her as soon as she opens the door! I think it may have been as part of a story by the great Mick Quinn (Michil Ned) of Mullaghbawn. Regards |
