I have a particular fondness for folk music and songs that tell a story as it can give you a feel for the social history of a period of time as well as expressing sadness, love, unrequieted love, joviality or what Paddy MgGinty's goat did or didn't get up to. I also love classical music. I remember this song extremely well it as in infants class we all had to take it in turns having a go at singing and we were allowed our own choice of songs - needless to say this was the one I chose.<br /><br />Although I don't at present play a musical instrument I do collect sheet music when I find it in charity shops as well - initially I started collecting it because my Dad could play several instruments piano, church organ and cathederal organ - and squeeze box. Before he passed he was contemplating taking banjo lessons - now that is a country instrument and if it is played properly it really does talk - my Granddad used to play and I have never heard anyone play Duelling banjos as good as he could.<br /><br />xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-1183965201318112072009-06-19T07:15:54.608+01:002009-06-19T07:15:54.608+01:00Like you I remember this song from childhood but I...Like you I remember this song from childhood but I've only ever kniow the first verse so thank you for posting the whole song:)Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
