16 Apr 12 - 11:33 AM (#3339075) Subject: New Banjo Song From: JedMarum I've just posted a new recording at Banjo Hangout. Here's a quick listen to the song. I've been lucky enough, over the last few years to do some work with film and TV projects. A couple of years ago I was on a film set for several hours one morning in a beautiful little Louisiana town, and had a lot of time to just sit there and play - so I developed this tune, as I considered the story of the movie that was being a filmed (a young soldier's adventures walking back to his home town after the US Civil War). Eventually, I put lyrics to it and EVEN AS I RAMBLE came into its own. |

16 Apr 12 - 02:25 PM (#3339138) Subject: RE: New Banjo Song From: JedMarum Yes. I dropped that name as I developed the lyrics in a different direction ... AND because I started singing Brian MCNeill's song Belles of Ontario ... yes, they're different bells but the names were too close. |

I see how Bells/Belles song titles might cause confusion; I was wondering whether to type Bells or Belles of Centenary when I asked the question. - Phil Belles of Ontario is another great song. |

17 Apr 12 - 09:07 AM (#3339505) Subject: RE: New Banjo Song From: JedMarum The film set was at the site of the original Centenary College, close to where the Chapel used to be. I was imagining that if one was walking toward the Chapel from a distance, one could hear the bells of the Chapel before they could be seen. Hence the name, but as I said, I took the song in a different direction. |
