Zero dislikes, and 'twill ever be thus.

Hey G, that sounds like such a wonderful experience you had back in the 70ties.
I host an open Mic show at a book store in my town and every time I start it by singing Donovan's Mellow Yellow and making new lyrics up as I go. So much fun :0)

I heard this first at The Troubadour Coffee House, Earl's Court, London on Thursday evenings in the 1970s which was the folk music night in the basement. It was a magical enchanted place at that time. Lady Franklin's Lament was always the first song - whatever else followed.
The Troubadour has since changed its atmosphere, and possibly its character, into something more commercial and less romantic.

@timfiify I have not Tim, but thanks for letting me know about it.
Nice song. What happened to an old posted version sung as a trio? The violin was very nice on that. Still... this is quite good too. Thanks for posting.

@TheOKJose Hi OK Jose
This is actually my original recording of the song. I later made a video with our band : Samarkand. A band which later broke up. Thanks for listening.

@sejd51 That's a pity, I enjoyed the sound when you all blended in with your instruments and voices. Nevermind, this is very good too. I have always thought about putting wave sounds in some of the nautical songs I play and know of many who have already done it. This is a perfect song for these audio additions and I think what you've done here with the creaking boat sounds and waves crashing really adds to the atmosphere. Very nice!

@TheOKJose I agree with your comments. It is much harder to fill a good audio production being just one person, but going solo was the best thing which ever happened to me musically. :0)

wow, Listen to Bob DYlan's song "Bob Dylans Dream" from the Freewhilin album. I knew he used the melody but the lyrics are also similar. as Woody Guthrie once said "You wanna do something good, just steal it. Thats what what i did from Leadbelly"

@Cwray27 Hi Cwray, glad you liked it. Yes, Bob Dylan is a master of stealing other old stuff, but he brings it to new life, so bless his heart. This tune however is an original and I love it. :0)
