After winning NaNoWriMo last night, I was looking around YouTube and found some interesting videos that I thought I would share.
Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers — “Will You Go Lassie Go” (Wild Mountain Thyme) This is one of the songs I want sung at my funeral someday, probably during the burial. It feels like a reminder that we will all meet again someday.
Shawn Colvin and Allison Kraus — “The Boxer” I think they do a good job covering Simon & Garfunkel’s song “The Boxer” in a bluegrass style. I’m singing along with it as we speak!
The Irish Rovers — “The Unicorn Song” My parents have a record (you know, those big black CD’s) with this song on it. I remember it my early childhood 30 years ago.
Tracy Chapman — “The Times They Are A Changin'” Why yes, I am a hippie. Why do you ask? š My parents have this particular CD and this is one of my favorite tracks from it so I was amused when it came up as something I might want to try on YouTube.
The Byrds — “Paths of Victory” Um yeah… I kind of stole borrowed this CD from my parents and this is one of my favorite tracks. I’m under the opinion that Bob Dylan songs sound best when sung by someone other than him. (Sorry Bob, you sound like a goat in heat!)
Go love up Hallie and wish her a happy Thanksgiving.
Congrats on winning NaNoWriMo!! That’s terrific.
I was just thinking about the Unicorn Song, and that I needed to find it on YouTube again, and here it was.
