'Jack o'Dreams at Bridlington Folk Club some years ago. Could anyone tell me the title of the music behind these songs? Many Thanks, Ed |

Equally hilarious and worthy of note. Good old Pyotr Ilyich being inspirational again.. Sorry, I haven't any further info than this. |

14 Sep 13 - 12:47 PM (#3558910) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Jack o' Dreams From: GUEST,Ray It was a song I used to do regularly. Many years ago, I had to do a short notice gig with a pianist friend of mine who turned up with the dots to the Pathetique. I can assure you that Bill Caddick's words don't exactly fit the original tune so, at best, it must be treated as an approximation. |
