15 Jun 01 - 05:57 PM (#484589) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: NEW Boots From: nutty Got the tune and chorus from a sound clip on WWW.TUNES.COM of Frankie Armstrong singing the song although I remembered hearing it some years ago. Now it's in my head and it won't go away :O) The song was recorded on by Frankie on "I Heard a Woman Singing" |

17 Jun 01 - 09:41 PM (#485712) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: NEW Boots From: Joe Offer Well, it's mentioned in the Old Chestnuts Song Circle. The song is "New Boots," by Nancy Nicolson. I'll see if I can work up a transcription from the Frankie Armstrong CD. The CD, by the way, is terrific. Hey, can anybody tell us anything about Nancy Nicolson/Nicholson? -Joe Offer, going off to work on transcription- |

04 Jan 13 - 08:42 PM (#3461504) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: NEW Boots From: GUEST,999 I may, but it could take a few days. |
05 Jan 13 - 09:38 AM (#3461668) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: NEW Boots From: GUEST,999 Please note: her name is spelled Nancy Nicolson. There is no 'h' in her name. And she is a lovely person. Her website which she says has been a bit neglected of late is nancynicolson.com Olivia, I have no way to reach you, but you can reach Nancy via that address. |
