Subject: info on: stop the cavalry From: GUEST,lakeman Date: 20 Feb 05 - 06:55 PM What's the story behind Jona Lewie's "Stop The Cavalry"? Is it a recycled folksong or did he or someone else write it? |

Subject: RE: info on: stop the cavalry From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 21 Feb 05 - 01:57 AM See the earlier thread Stockport Polka. The tune was picked up by a number of ceilidh bands and we used to play it in sessions; but, despite the alternate titles I don't know if it really pre-dates the Jona Lewie record or not. Everybody I know seems to have learned it from him, though the short third part is usually dropped. |
