Elizabeth LaPrelle sings "Pretty Saro"

Such a great Acapella singer in the old style. Reminiscent of Irish Sean Nos singers.
I was learning this song myself and was amazed at how well she sang at
Berkeley OLD TIME MUSIC FESTIVAL, 9/12/09
She was so kind to let me put up the file. thanks Elizabeth and Hi to your mom

Philo I can only wonder if you have much experience listening to acapello singing and this one reminds much of Irish Sean Nos singing. This is a STYLE of SINGING not an exaggeration. I see that you thought Iris movie version was a good version, movies tone things down to fit the picture. I love Iris version as well
