Re: Favorite Songs

While I am a big fan of American & Irish/Celtic folk music, I have a special fondness for the German songs.... ;-)

Re: Favorite Songs

"Rose of Alabamy" and "Johnny Fill Up the Bowl (We All Went Down to New Orleans)". The latter because: in the mid 1950s, as a Civil War besotted kid, I was given the two volume Columia LP set, "The Union" and "The Confederacy". I played them endlessly. when I played "Johnny Fill Up the Bowl' for my Grandad, born in 1882, he sang along. HIS Dad, a high private in the 7th West-aye-God Virginia Infantry, taught him. That old man had died 14 years before I was born, but in that moment I was close to him.
