Corny jigs

This isn’t exactly corny..

But i feel, now, we are going CORNY AND sharing “Cultural Folklore and tradition”

There is a collection pf American Folk Stories/Songs.. ORIGINALLY named “The Child Murder Ballads” which I believe to be colonial and post.. this one, called Omie Wise.. is one of my favorites.. i used to play it “out” when I was still performing..

This is a Greg Graffin (lead singer of Bad Religion) cover.


Mandolin, Dobro, hand drums and harmonica was the most entertaining way WE found to play it.

I need to learn some squeezebox...

the ONE thing the ENTIRE world SEEMS to agree on is, “Squeezebox/Accordion music is pretty great! 🤣🤣
 
Not exactly a “corny jig” but that moment when you hear a piece of music you usually cannot stand only to realize you have always heard it on the wrong instrument….until now.

I'm a sucker for Bach's stuff written FOR Harpsichord..
 
OOOOH this fits "corny" AND lies within my "Mediterranean English" experiments. 😂😂

 
Also.. Marimbas RULE!

Thank you for sharing..

Bach, in my opinion, is the FOUNDER of "punk rock", if you know his story.

I actually quite dislike Bach, my classical preference is more Vivaldi & Mozart.
 
He is easier to understand, plus I have heard songs from him before.
Ok.. so what about.. like Mediterranean Balkan English...
Like the verses, here;

Sorry.. this just fascinates me.. I hope I'm not offending.. I'm interested in Sociology LOTS.

He is much easier, I think partly because he is singing slower and his words are more pronounced. Sometimes when people are singing they drop certain sounds (like suddenly loosing a T and the end of a word), swallow whole syllables, or add a region dialect pronunciation any of which can really trip up a listener especially if the tempo is fast.

edit: not offended, I don’t mind being your lab rat.
