'T was such a little, little boat
That toddled down the bay!
'T was such a gallant, gallant sea
That beckoned it away!
’T was such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the coast;
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost!
Emily Dickinson (1830–86).

A Braw Wedding
Laughing Dan
" I know not how, but as I count
the beads of former years,
old laughter catches in my throat
with the very feel of tears."
Robert Louis Stevenson

One of my proudest moments was listening to my big sister sing this song at a Preston Lodge School Concert- honestly, Margaret. It has always been a song that I love but needless to say I can't sing it(well only if I'm on my own!!) brilliant- ah-he-he a- who -oh.....I'll sing it in bed tonight!!
Love

Well I`m too young to remember Margaret singing at school but the Corries sure do remind me of my young days and my dad singing along when playing the LPs. Maybe you`ll find some Montivani as I remeber dad listening to him as well as a few others. (Black & White Minstrels, The Dubliners)
Cheers x
(PS April not March me recalls, maybe its just your typing)
I stand corrected ! Date ammended accordingly. Thanks for keeping an eye on my blethers. The Mind is still missing for much of the time !!!.
This would be my favourite Corries track.
I remember the night - not too clearly - when we booked them at The Labour Club. I'm sure they did an impromptu set upstairs before doing the gig downstairs.
I'm still on the mailing list too!
BUT - I can't remember my wee sister singing this tune!
And Maddy, just back, calls it "a draw", financially speaking, at Trentham today!
