Dalesman's Litany (Cover)

This is one of the first folk songs I ever had the pleasure of learning. I am reminded when I sing it of the people I grew up with in Penzance, Cornwall, where I spent a brief time as a teenager... so this goes out to them, ... and my dad, who struggled to keep me safe and warm... with love and thanks. I heard the original of this for the first time the other day - Tim Hart and Maddy Prior...

Altogether grand. I know nothing about pitch, although I did see Maradonna playing on the Lansdowne Road pitch in 1979 - he was very, very young, as was I. Happy days. Amazing voice.

LOL, yeah, Maradona = amazing player! ;-)

Thank you! If I could sing as well as the tip of his boot I'd be laughing :D Well, I am laughing, sort of, but... there's no comparison on the talent side heheh.

Oooo addendum, never been to Glastonbury either more's the pity, been to Blackbush Aerodrome in 1978 (I think) Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Joan Armatrading :-)

Hi dug, :D

Well, sorry to disappoint you but I have never seen Maddie Prior or Steeleye live, they were a little before my time of seeing live things... As I explained in my description, the other night is the very first time I have actually seen this song, on youtube! Before that it was like a Chinese whisper! ;-) The harmony truly is just my own playing around. Because the melody used to be too low for me... I knew nothing about pitch.
