From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Nov 12 - 05:25 PM Combine Mudcat threads with immediate access to songs on Spotify, and one can discover some terrific music. This is one heck of a song. There's a thread on the "16 Fishermen" here (click). Thanks for bringing it up, Skarpi. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Origins: Thomas Moore Irish author...help .... From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 13 Nov 12 - 02:08 PM "Leonard Cohen doing Thomas Moore would be interesting... Indeed - there's actually a certain matching of moods at time, a sort of shared ability to appreciate melancholy: Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy, Bright dreams of the past, which she cannot destroy, Which come in the night-time of sorrow and care, And bring back the features that joy used to wear. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Thomas Moore Irish author...help .... From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 13 Nov 12 - 12:46 PM Here's a lively version from what was evidently a great night in Bialystok, Poland Definitely nothing to do with Tom Moore - though it's fun to think what he'd have made of it. Probably loved it. Mind, I'd not be sure about Tony Boylan writing a particularly new tune for it - it has a familiar sound to it. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Thomas Moore Irish author...help .... From: zozimus Date: 13 Nov 12 - 11:26 AM If you look up "16 fishermen raving" on youtube you can see Wally Page singing it, and also Christy Moore. Definitely not one of Moore's Melodies. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Thomas Moore Irish author...help .... From: GUEST,sturgeon Date: 12 Nov 12 - 12:54 PM '16 Fishermen Raving' was written by Wally Page and Tony Boylan. Since Page is a lyricist my guess is that Boylan wrote the tune. It's certainly not a traditional one. In other words, the tune is probably covered by copyright. |
