So a good friend recommended "Born in the USA." Any others? I'll have more tomorrow, I'm sure.
So Mandy recommended a book of shape note singing. I'm not a huge fan of shape note singing but the history of it in colonial New England is interesting. The Puritan fathers didn't like the tradition of tavern singing in New England. I'm looking to learn such titles of the era as "Kiss Me Quick, My Mother's Coming", "Bonny Lass Under a Blanket", and "Sweetest When She's Naked". Maybe I need a Delorian with a flux capacitor to really hear these songs. If anyone knows of these melodies, please let me know. I'd love to dress up like a pilgrim and sing them at a tavern on Thanksgiving. I know that has almost nothing to do with shape note singing but maybe the melodies were taken from church music and new words were improvised after a little ale.
I'm thinking of making some more simple videos of songs I like to sing. Lately, I've really been enjoying singing "If I had a Boat" by Lyle Lovett. I also feel the need to share "Dunderback". Anyone else know this great song?
