A Fool was visiting a yard sale and picked up a hand mirror. "Sure and Begorra" he says, "It's a picture of me Sainted Father". So he takes it home and puts it in the top drawer of his dresser. Not long after his wife is putting away the laundry. She picks it up and says: " So this is the auld harridan he's been carrying on with, on the sly". She rushes to the local priest to report this infidelity. The Padre picks up the mirror and looks at it. "Now, now, Bridget, simmer down. Tis only the picture of the old priest who had the parrish before me"!
Harry122 (R)Andy the Handy Man, Alright Randy. This is a good one. Our British friends tend to copy rather than emulate George. It is good to see an Amis emulate while still getting the Formby flavor through. Nice solo.
BirdsEyeView Ship of Fools, Anything a person who never shows their face does definitely falls under the trickster class BEV. This is very nice.
Jazzbanjorex Still You Turn Me On, Good choice Rex. Haven't heard this one for a long time. I think I first heard it when I was sixteen. Mark Moss, the Editor of Sing Out drove to Kutztown College with a carload of us for a Yes Concert. I liked the tremolo. It is twisted enough for me. I'd have to play it to be sure if it is technically.
weegingayin Fool on the Hill, So that's how Robert Harper did it. I wondered about this. This is very well done indeed weeginga.
cua94 Apples and Bananas, Nice Job Liz. I have always liked this song. It's an easy one for the kids to learn too!
weegingayin Going Down Slow, Very Tricksey Rob. Well I have no problem with the Thornton Rule. I like all kinds of music. Nice job. I almost never do the blues in open tunings, Except on the Banjo,
Sam's version was tasty too! I MADE YOU DO IT?
AlanDP The Fatal Glass of Beer, A twisted tune! WC Fields wrote this one. The Zither played in one key and WC sang it, modulating the key of the song in each verse, for comic effect! Good job uncovering this one Alan.
pabrizzer Happy Go Lucky Me, Lovely cover of this Formby Classic, Brian.
BirdsEyeView Ship of Fools,for S.Brightman, You did a good job on this. As you indicate there is no copywright on a song title. Who would have thought there were so many different versions? Are you going to cover them all this week?
peewee Dear Madame Barnum, An Xtc Song by Andy Partridge, 1965. Nice cover peewee. Has that classic bubble gum flavor of the era.
Popster999 As A Porcupine Pines For Its Pork, Thats How I Pine for You, Billy Jones and Ernest Hare, 1925. Great Novelty song from the Twentys Bill. How/where did you unearth this one from?
Popster999 Burbing Bubbles, Great one Bill. A parody of a Don Ho song, Tiny Bubbles.
