28 Nov 04 - 01:24 AM (#1340953) Subject: RE: Skarpi needs help with a songs+ Bohrán From: GUEST,Barry Finn Hi Sharpi A few I've used that seem to work well with the bodhran: Crooked Jack, Irish (a quickly paced tune of the Star of the County Down) Queensland Drovers/Overlanders, Australian Danny Deever words by Kipling tune by Peter Belamy. Tune is sung at in different timing than the drum. For the drum I use a death march. Swag All on My Shoulder, Australian Langford Weaver, Irish, see threads on versions of the Carlton Weaver or Nancy Whiskey Sorry Sharpie, there are others that I used to do but I can't recall them at the moment, getting rusty. Good Luck, Barry Erin Go Bragh, Scottish as sung by Norman Kennedy |
