Subject: RE: ADD: The Keelman (author??) From: GUEST,Ben Campbell Date: 27 Jun 22 - 01:21 PM Graham Searle and I wrote the song about 25 years ago. I wrote the chorus first and Graham wrote all of the verses. I used the original verse from the traditional "Keelrow" as an intro into the main song. The tune was one which had been rattling around in my head for some time. The CD has a very young Seth Lakeman, along with his dad Geoff, playing in the background. The CD was recorded in the Lakem ans studio when they lived in the strangely named Crapstone on the edge of Dartmoor. |
Subject: RE: ADD: The Keelman (author??) From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Jun 22 - 02:06 PM Thank you very much, Ben. Breezy posted the lyrics in 2004, and we've waited all this time to solve the mystery. Are the lyrics correct as Breezy posted them (above)? -Joe- |
