19 Apr 07 - 07:25 PM (#2030529) Subject: Great Dreams From Heaven/Happy Meeting From: GUEST,Jim I have been looking for a song/tune sung/played by Joseph Spence. It's either called There Will Be A Happy Meeting or Great Dreams From Heaven, or possibly it goes by both names. My local record store can get me either one. If they are the same tune, as I suspect, then I don't care which one I get, but if they are different tunes, I'd like to get the right one. Neither seems to be in the Digitrad. Thanks for any help you can give me. |

It is also on a Folkways CD - Click Here as Happy Meeting. BTW, there is in existence a Mel Bay publication for this very CD with notationand tab for the pices. It is likely out of print, but do some google/ebay work and I think you will find it. dw |

This is the fourth Youtube version of Renbourn performing this Joseph Spence song, unfortunately it is also the weakest IMHO, but still well worth watching. The other three videos were all removed, alas, due to terms of use / copyright violations. ( The version with Jacqui McShee was absolutely spellbinding ). |
