re: #413 ckkatz
I will have to check out the High Kings. And I appreciate the context that you added about them.
Last month there was a discussion on “The Parting Glass” sparked by by the passing of AnyMouse’s Sister-in-Law.
(My condolences, AnyMouse. She sounds like she was a true character. And fit right in with your family.)
Anyway, I did a YouTube search and listened to their version. (I particularly like Peter Hollins version at the moment.)
I’ve listened to exactly one CD of the High Kings. Nice sound, but I think someone should tell them that not everything is a ballad. “Mairi’s Wedding” is normally a perky dance number, not a slow air.
