12 Jul 98 - 07:48 PM (#32381) Subject: RE: Lyrics Req: The Fiddle and the Drum From: Joe Offer Gee, that's a haunting song. Here is a RealAudio clip of the song, which is on June Tabor's "Abyssinians" CD. It was written by Joni Mitchell, and it's on Joni's "Clouds" album. I'll look around and see if I can find the lyrics. Otherwise, I'll transcribe it for you later today. -Joe Offer- |

I had some Joni Mitchell albums a long time ago, but I haven't unpacked my vinyl since moving. I think it's there somewhere. . . Now if I can find one of those things they used to call "turntables". . . ;-) Cheers, -- Arne
