Fabulous. I've only ever heard Jean Redpath sing this, and hers is a lovely version, but this one quite takes my breath away. Never heard of Michael Marra before - will look for more of his songs.
Michael Marra released a great album of his own material called "Posted Sober" a few years back. It contains some great songs, and is well worth seeking out. Basically, he's a Dundonian Jacques Brel.
I'm having a rather different mid-life crisis. I've been unwell for three years with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - M.E. I've found it to be a Major Encumbrance. I've lost my job, we've sold our house and moved to somewhere rented, and recast a lot of plans. How will we cope? What will happen next?
58 years old, became unemployed in April 2009 because of ME after 31 years as a Social Worker.
I've been married for nearly 33 years to Susanneke, and we have two sons and a daughter, all now astoundingly grown up.
