We do our own thing

Last week's Dragon Folk Club session wasn't quite as populous as recent ones, but is was great to have Paul O join us on his third visit.

Remember that while next Friday's session (11th  Sept) will have no theme, the following week (18th Sept) will have the theme Harvest. I am sure you can think of at least one appropriate song for that. Our session on 18th September will also be associated with the  4th European Folk Day - #europeanfolkday.

Back to last Friday, Colin started us off with Hard Travelin' (roud 13926 - Woody Guthrie). Simon followed that with There but for fortune (Phil Ochs).

Paul O's first song of the evening was A pair of brown eyes (Shane MacGowan).

Bob gave us Sweet little Lisa (Hank DeVito, Donivan Cowart, Walter Cowart) and Sue completed the first rotation with Big Rock Candy Mountain (Harry McClintock (claimed)).

These were the songs new to the Dragon database on this occasion:

• Colin - The commuter's coronach (*# David Diamond)
• Paul O - The salt and pepper song (*# Paul O'Sullivan)
• Sue - Dedicated follower of fashion (* Ray Davies)
• Bob - You bring out the boogie in me (* Michael Franks)
• Paul O - The ice song (*# Paul O'Sullivan)
• Paul O - The pride of Petravore (*  roud 34408 - Percy French)
• Paul O - Dreamboat girl (* Paul O'Sullivan)

Colin was pleased to get the chance for once to close the session himself with When all men sing (Keith Scowcroft, Derek Gifford).

Now listen to a selection of songs sung during this session.
