Subject: Lyr Add: OLD WHISKEY AND YOUNG WOMEN^^ From: skw@worldmusic.de Date: 11 Mar 99 - 07:44 AM Sorry I didn't manage this sooner, Wolfgang! Give me strong whisky and weak women
Give me old whisky and young women
Give me good whisky and bad women
This is as sung by Hamish Imlach on 'Scottish Sabbath' (I think). I entirely agree with Hamish's (and Shel Silverstein's) sentiments on whisky. As for the rest - nobody could ever claim Hamish (or Shel) aspired to political correctness. I heard him belt out this song a couple of years before his death with the same gusto as twenty years before. Still didn't endear the song to me! - Susanne

Subject: RE: Req.: Whisky and Women (Shel Silverstein) From: Wolfgang Date: 11 Mar 99 - 08:23 AM Susanne, there's no need to say sorry for the delay, just the need and wish to say "thank you" from my side. My joy for getting lyrics I had asked for is perhaps even stronger when I had already given up hope. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Old Whisky and Young Women (Silverstein) From: GUEST,Guest Peter Trout Date: 12 Aug 10 - 10:57 AM 12.08.10 Hello Mudcatters Is there anybody out there who can explain how Hamish Imlach played Old Whiskey and Young Women on the "This sporting life " album? I'm not on the look out for note by note tablature, just where did he have the capo and basic chord shapes. I've been trying to sort it out for a long time and am getting nowhere! Many thanks! Peter Trout |
