Barry Finn | Ballad Singing – a living tradition? (51* d) | RE: Ballad Singing – a living tradition? | 01 Sep 09 |
It used to be at the Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival that "way after hours" a bunch would gather in one of the out buildings, after the shanties where sung out at the WTB & they'd start singing ballads, the more obscure the better. You could hear a pin drop in the dim lit rooms, then a few comments, inquires, maybe a joke or 2 until someone else jumped in. It would go on for hrs until exhustion or drink finally would take it's toll. I missed the last one, curses! |
