Constant Billy with Kristen Jensen - I Have A Young Suster

Constant Billy (Emily Standish & Bill Galbraith with guest Kristen Jensen) perform the early English song "I Have A Young Suster" at the Artery, Houston. We learned this from the singing of the much-lamented multi-instrumentalist John Fleagle. The gentle rhythms of his version always make us feel as though we're on a beautiful Caribbean beach, waiting cheerfully for the end of the world- sort of an Apocalypso song.

I hope it isn't considered bad etiquette to submit another remark. I was listening/watching some of your other great music videos here and ran across this one several months ago. I hope you record this on your next CD. It really is just charming.

Emily and Billy- what an absolutely charming addition to your dynamic duo! Loved the phenomenal harmony with Kristen. Can't wait for your next CD! Your humanistic spirit always comes shining through! Houston is so blessed to have your original style!

TailandMeiLover, I hope you do get to come see Constant Billy live sometime. Besides being amazing musicians, they have a wonderful and whimsical sense of humor that makes their sets even more entertaining!

Wow! I am speechless! You guys just get better and better! Emily's vocals are an absolute delight -- what a beautiful, clear-as-a-bell voice. All the instrumentals are fantastic, and I love Kristen's harmony vocal. Beautiful! And Bill, leave it to you (or was it Emily?) to come up with a wonderfully wild and wacky neologism like "Apocalypso!" Y'all should make a feature-length music video and call it "Apocalypso Now." ;-)
