video done for a grade school project. We couldn't find the CD at 2 in the morning and dad had to get out the Joan Baez songbook and his guitar. We still laugh about "little two eyes, little one eye and little no eyes" at the end of the video, and lots of other things. Maybe it's not funny to anyone else, but this is up for some of Claire's friends in other places.
Sorry I didn't mean to sound snide. You have a good voice for this type of song. For some reason, I take it too personally when people talk about ANY version of Mary Hamilton being better than Baez's. Her's is one of my favorite recordings of all time. I know, a little weird of me. :-)

Well, actually, I wasn't attempting to sing with any sort of accent. It's possible that I was imitating Joan Baez on some level as I originally learned the song from her LP, and song book (which I had open before me while singing this). As the note implies, it was our intention to use her recording originally on this little project for a grade school class. This was a last minute fill-in when we couldn't find the CD. But, I'd guess that you'd hear the same "accent" on most of my recordings.

But you're trying to argue that someone has a natural voice when they're singing in a fabricated accent. Don't you see the logical error in that?
And his voice is pretty generic.

So what? The song is about the mistress of the King of Scotland - a British accent is by no means unwarranted here whatsoever. I like his voice.

What was the point of using clay if you didn't even animate it? You could have just drawn pictures and filmed those.

More natural? This guy is singing with a phony Brit accent!

I like your Dad's singing more than Joan Baez's - it's more natural and really beautiful. He should record a CD with folk ballads - I'm sure it would be an amazing success.
