897. Pack Up Your Sorrows (Richard Fariña and Pauline Marden)

[CurtisMateer]

He was quite the rennaisance man wasn't he? The supposedly greatest songwriter of his time, Dylan, and greatest novelist, Thomas Pynchon, both were impressed. Fresh and clean this take. Nice job.

[raymondcrooke]

He wrote some great songs, which deserve to be better known. Thanks for your comment.

Very nice version, Raymond! I remember this song well from not only Joan Baez, but Judy Collins and Peter, Paul & Mary. Johnny Cash covered it too with June !

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for reminding me. i've added that information to the box on the right.

I misplaced my sorrows! lets see I think I left them over there! Damn I just can not keep track of anything! 5 Stars! Woof!

[raymondcrooke]

You should have packed them up when you had them!

[lewdite]

Not well known but a wonderful song...

[raymondcrooke]

Such a pity Richard Fariña didn't live long enough to write more of these lovely songs.

[raymondcrooke]

I just found your video response. Thanks for linking your excellent rendition to mine!

[SirCoughsalot]

I'd never heard this song, but I like it very much. Richard Farina wrote some great songs, it seems. I will have to seek out more of them.

[raymondcrooke]

This is the third Fariña song I've covered. The others were "Birmingham Sunday" and "Children of Darkness." Search for Richard and Mimi Fariña on YouTube and you should find some videos of them singing his songs. They were very good.
