The hardest thing for me was learning five new (to me) songs, complete with harmony. Three of us were pretty much getting together with the musician at any spare time to go over the songs. However one of the tunes (but the not the lyrics) I recognised from The American Adventure:
"In the days of '76, my boys, we never must revere
That every man takes his musket up and fight for freedom dear.
We'll hit the flanks Of the Redcoats' ranks as Yankee volunteers.
Oh, tis a great delight to march and fight, But it's getting tough, I fear..."
The original song is called "The Lincolnshire Poacher"
"When I was bound apprentice in famous Lincolnshire
Full well I served my master for more than seven year
Till I took up to Poaching as you shall quickly hear
Oh tis my delight on a shiny night in the season of the year"
The shows went really well and will be broadcast on BBC Radio Bristol over the next few weeks.
That's cool! :sohappy:
