The Brandos - Merrily Kissed The Quaker/New York Volunteer

[MyMoppet52]

An amazing musician and artist! He is of the quality of Tim O'Brien and (from me) that is one of the highest compliments I can pay to Mr. Kincaid. Mr. Kincaid's vocals and playing are a delight to see and hear. Wonderful music and video. Thank you! My best, Moppet (Barbara)

[Lieblingsfachful]

His voice...........AMAZING!

He goes from an almost average New Englander to this Quasi-Irish accented and masculine voice. Brilliant.

the new york volunteer came from a British folk song called the Lincolnshire poacher

[JMAZZ80]

Awesome remake. However, I am partial to the C.W. lyrics. Would love to hear you guys do that version.

brilliant

[just2w4tch]

any place to get the lyrics listed?

[blackbandit666]

here they are: (part one)

We're from this native land

We're every culture and every creed

That are known to man

And on our streets, on any day

Every language will you hear

Yet when tragedy strikes we band as one

Like New York Volunteers

We take in stride the trouble and strife

Like New York Volunteers

[blackbandit666]

part two: We come from every walk of life The poorest to the grand And side by side that fateful day We stood to bear a hand And though to those from far away Quite different we appear Yes, we're black and tan, we're yellow and white We're New York Volunteers We take in stride the trouble and strife Like New York Volunteers

[blackbandit666]

part three: Now, some will say the world is grim And hope a distant dream Humanity a world away But if they'd only seen Our citizens emerge that day Their fellowman to cheer Well, it's a different tale they'd have to tell Of our New York Volunteers We take in stride the trouble and strife Like New York Volunteers

Well, thanks.

Dave & Ernie...being a Civil War reeanctor the Irish Brigade element to this song is marvelous. Paddy O'Rourke would have been proud! I would love to see you play it in person! Ever been to Michigan? You guys are amazing!

David, you are my Bruce Springsteen of the Past! Love your music and since I first saw you that fateful weekend at Beth Paige (about 5 yrs ago) with husband Dana, we've learned your songs and spend weekends just playing along on the fiddle to your recordings. Hope to catch you again. Londonderry, NH has the Tupelo Coffeehouse - A nice venue if you're looking. You're the Best!!!
