01 May 20 - 07:04 PM (#4049863) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Azalea Blooms No More From: Steve Shaw I'm pretty sure that Tom McConville sings this song. In fact, I'm sure I've heard him singing it at Bodmin Folk Club. Perhaps with Pauline Cato. Yours truly took the floor before they came on, with a set consisting of Derwentwater's Farewell, Jimmy Allen then Herd On The Hill, then I had a bash at Carolan's Concerto for good measure, all played unauthentically in the key of F (the only harp I had in my pocket). I remember all too well how, when I tapped my foot on the somewhat flexible stage, the stage bounced back completely out of rhythm with the music. Talk about disconcerting. It taught me to rely on my internal rhythm instead of foot-tapping... This could have been way over 20 years ago so don't quote me... |
