31 Jul 12 - 06:08 AM (#3384001) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Light Dragoon + Oak Ash & Thorn From: GUEST,Blandiver Sung by British & Irish Traditional Singers It's actually sung by Harry List - of Swefling, Suffolk, was George Bloomfield's brother-in-law - which is the extent of biographical note in VOTP. How nice to see the lives of these cherished old singers celebrated in such exacting biographical detail. |
31 Jul 12 - 06:21 AM (#3384003) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Light Dragoon + Oak Ash & Thorn From: Les in Chorlton Thanks Owen - I will keep an eye out so to speak. Sean, I love that "if God had wanted" line it has so many possibilities - If god had wanted us to believe in him, why did he reveal himself to strange people in strange ways or Strangeways? I have only been able to decipher the dot thingies since playing and sharing tunes in The Beech so I am a bit of a new convert and clearly have little better to do. In passing songs to others they sometimes seem confused by the 'notes' I sing - hence the search for the secret code of dots. I learned The LD from a guy, Geoff Ingham, in Leeds a thousand years ago. He worked on the Ham on the Bone counter in Lewis's on The Headrow. If you went in for a chat he would feed bits of ham. Much fun. O, A & T I first heard from Brian Senior and Keith Marsden ( Bring us a Barrel and many moer great songs) also Leeds. Cheers Les Still in search of dots |

01 Aug 12 - 09:06 AM (#3384569) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Light Dragoon + Oak Ash & Thorn From: Les in Chorlton That's correct. I have the album O A & T and have enjoyed singing the song for many years but I would like the dots or the ABCexplorer file if anybody has them, also for The Light Dragoon. Cheers Les |
