Not much is known of where it comes from, apart from having been collected from Bess Cronin 30 years ago. I learned it from Phil Callery. I love this song for its soaring melody line; you really do imagine you're standing at the top of a mountain! http://music.metafilter.com/mefi/1418 tag:music.metafilter.com,2007:site.1418 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 18:18:48 -0800 accapella ballad Irish solo traditional LN The companion piece to the Turret Gunner's Farewell. This one's about my other great uncle, who fought in WWI and lived to tell the tale. (A bit more downbeat than TGF, and a bit of creative licence taken regarding his hometown.) http://music.metafilter.com/mefi/1382 tag:music.metafilter.com,2007:site.1382 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 19:18:58 -0800 acappella ballad folk singing solo traditional LN A song I wrote a couple of years ago as a tribute to my great uncle Bernard, who went down in a Halifax III during WWII.

It's very stripped-down: just voice, drone, a bass drum and a shekere. In the time-honored folk tradition, I've made a few minor lyrics changes here and there, and the melody I'm using is different from the Dock Boggs or Stanley Brothers versions of the tune. Anyway, it's one of my very favorite traditional songs. Hope you enjoy. http://music.metafilter.com/mefi/806 tag:music.metafilter.com,2007:site.806 Wed, 31 Jan 2007 03:36:23 -0800 americana death drone folk music ohdeath percussion songsaboutdeath spooky traditional flapjax at midnite Fingerstyle arrangement of the trad tune.

Active in Seattle from 1997-2000, we were most liked by Irish dancers, union folks and maritime ethusiasts.
