Thanks so much. |

18 May 11 - 09:27 PM (#3156725) Subject: RE: Chord Req: The King's Shilling From: Effsee Definitely an Ian Sinclair song, as stated, sung by his wife Margie! No question. Certain Irish singers have been informed of this fact! |

Most singarounds I've heard it, it has been sung a cappella. Not the only song - or tune -by far that has been passed off as trad, when the composer is known. |

Timing's slightly different from the version i know, but no bad, eh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDhfqy4S6hI&feature=related |

08 Mar 18 - 07:34 PM (#3910119) Subject: RE: Chord Req: The King's Shilling From: Tattie Bogle Yes, it has a very specific rhythm, and many people who have covered it have changed it in various ways. I prefer the original. |
