Hi I knew your Dad, the forest must have been Byrness. My family had the pub there in the 60's. I remember a skiffle group with Bob Blamire. The bar got the tea-chest bass which Athur used to play. happy memories! thanks for reminding me.

Thanks for this authentic rendering of an authentic song. I'll check it out but I feel as if I now know the song. Cheers!

Very done indeed Colin, do you have the words to it at all, I'd like to have a go myself.

And I wish I was going with you and Dick to Crisfield

You're really too hard on yourself - that was very well sung. Very cool that you have a bit of personal history included, as well. Thanks for sharing!
