24 Apr 04 - 04:52 PM (#1169932) Subject: RE: Folk Music in Luton Beds 19/05 From: The Unicorn Man We only had two problems with the "Run to the Sea" one was remembering the chords and the other was remembering the words, we counter acted this by doing it without instruments and by reading the words off the sheet. Which reminds me, Derrick has nicked the words, so if you have another copy please, please may I have one and, we will all need a copy for the rest of The Folkaholicks before Monday. cheers Me. |
