13 Dec 02 - 03:13 AM (#846491) Subject: ADD: Whitby Fisherman (Bill Sables) From: Joe Offer Click here for the post from Bill Sables with the lyrics to his "Whitby Fisherman." I know Whitby is in Yorkshire, but I can't picture the song being sung without Bill's Geordie accent. The tune to "Blessed Quietness" is here (click) at the Cyber Hymnal, but it doesn't sound quite like Bill sings it. He sings it slower and more softly, and his rendition of the tune is a bit different. Here's a copy of Bill's post. -Joe Offer- Thread #17902 Message #175515 Posted By: bill\sables 09-Feb-00 - 10:19 AM Thread Name: Pt.

He sings it slower and more softly, and his rendition of the tune is a bit different." The original text is what we hymnal-editor types call "87.87 w/ Refrain", while Bill's text is "87.87 D w/ Refrain". |
