1001 Songs in 1001 Days?
[Well I've failed to meet this target as 1001 days have passed. However. if I don't count days when I'm travelling I am still on track!]
My aim here is to share my love of folk music. My posts include original as well as traditional songs and covers of my favourite singer song-writers, such as Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Eric Bogle.
I have been singing folk songs for over 40 years, and play guitar (badly) and fiddle (even more badly).
I have produced 4 CDs:
Axis of Evil and other True Stories
Laws of Chance
Gospel Ship
Pigs Might Fly and other Politically Incorrect Ballads
I hope you enjoy my songs. All comments are appreciated, including constructive criticism. However, I may delete threats, and language that I consider unsuitable for any young people watching this channel.
Thank you to all those who have subscribed and/or commented.

Some people know this as a Christmas song, but I learned it long ago as a Thanksgiving song--before global warming!
