Three songs for me at today’s singaround (on double bass):
- The Unquiet Grave – an eerie English folk song which I seem to have reset to the tune of Star of the County Down
- The Weight – the song by The Band, which some commentators imagine is about the gospel story but seems much easier to follow as a cautionary tale about how trying to do someone a favour can get out of hand
- Valerie – I’ve done this song many times, in several different keys, and I’ve got a feeling I did my familiar trick of kicking off the melody in a different key to the accompaniment
So, an imperfect set of contributions but fun all the same.
