Animal Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hmmm I might have to look into that. $15 for the CD isn't half bad. Thanks for the post Hester Animal Buccaneer - Services to the highest bidder!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyNell Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I love Folkways collections HUZZAH MOE ASCH!! I have been collecting Folk music of all kinds for many many years and would not have half the collection I do if it weren't for the Smithsonian and Folkways. I'll have to look at the song list. If your interested in great folk music from all times and styles there is a Smithsonian Folkways Podcast on iTunes. here's the address to subscribe to the Podcast: http://www.folkways.si.edu/resources/audio...st/folkways.rss “PIRACY, n.

Joe Pyrat Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 While not vocal, you may find The Chieftain's Film Cuts of interest. It includes the music from Treasures Island 1990, perhaps the best Treasure Island ever done, IMHO. Listen to Samples The Charles Towne Few - We shall sail... The sea will be our empire.

RustyNell Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) LOVE the Chieftans Oooh thanks I'd love that. You are certainly a wealth of information sir. So glad you've found us. Thanks so much for sharing. Edited February 2, 2009 by RustyNell “PIRACY, n.

Joe Pyrat Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 A product of having entirely too much time on me hands I fear. :angry: And I am very glad I found the Pub. It is a wealth of information on many subjects. The Charles Towne Few - We shall sail... The sea will be our empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
