Last week, I showed you Heritage Songster, which I'd borrowed at the library. Readers liked having some YouTube videos of familiar songs they could sing to, so I'll do a few more in this series of posts.
My favorite version of "Froggy Went A-Courtin'," with lively guitar which moves the tune right along.
"Loch Lomond" is one of those songs that you may think you understand, but you well may not. It has a jaunty tune, but a sad story to tell. They lyrics are the dialogue between two Scottish prisoners of war. One will return to Scotland in body, the other in spirit, taking "the low road." Singing this old song with feeling may give you something you didn't have before.
And here's the last song for this week. You may not know the words to "The Ash Grove," but I bet you're familiar with the melody. A nice autumnal feel for this last week of October.
Next week: More from the Songster!
