I agree that there will be a hole in the group missing John Morris. But somehow I think he'd want this to happen. They are an amazing family. Love The RED SHOE in Mabou!! KGH |

02 Nov 06 - 07:45 PM (#1875077) Subject: RE: The Rankin Family Returns From: Gorgeous Gary Sounds cool! David Francey and Gordon Lightfoot covers...I can deal with that. Plus the original songs; I've enjoyed the albums of theirs I have. And in the small world department...we know the reporter from the Herald who wrote the article. We actually stayed with him for a couple of days when we made our one and only visit to Nova Scotia in 2003. -- Gary |

06 Nov 06 - 11:09 PM (#1877995) Subject: RE: The Rankin Family Returns From: GUEST,Texas Guest The Rankin family has long been one of my favorite groups and I have tried year after year to get the "powers that be" with the North Texas Irish Festival to bring them down here - but to no avail. John Morris may be gone, but I'd bet they can still pull off the Celtic stuff quite well - it's those wonderful female voices. Their version of, "As I Roved Out" is one of my favorites; and, "Padstow" they do up quite well. Welcome back Rankins and here's hoping you all can make it down to Texas. Cheers. |

07 Nov 06 - 10:40 PM (#1878760) Subject: RE: The Rankin Family Returns From: GUEST,thurg Don't think he's any relation - he's a Prince Edward Islander, and of the previous generation (roughly) (not that either of those facts exclude him from family membership ... ) (if we're both thinking of the same Alan Rankin) (this is the last parenthetical remark, I promise). |
