There have to be a lot of gems in the folk canon. I'm thinking along the lines of O Death or a funereal-sounding House of the Rising Sun. Any suggestions? Happy Halloween! |

He's been playing folk on radio for 30+ years, and went to vinyl to play "Mallon's Bridge" off an early Mustard's Retreat album. Michael Hough's superb spooky storytelling in this song is underscored * by tin whistle and atmospheric melody on fiddle (that I think was played by Garnet Rogers). Joanne I'm Cleveland * every time I pun, even mild ones, I think of Art |
