Been a Mary Black fan since I can remember. I remember a Mary Chapin Carpenter gig where she ran on stage to sing St Christopher with her. Such a pure voice, her sister Frances has a great voice as does her son Danny lead with the Coronas. Have some old Black Family stuff on cassette yes cassette. Unbelievable.

I play this song at least once per day. I love the pure musical quality of these mainly acoustic Transatlantic Sessions, mostly lacking syncopated beat. And I love the art of Mary Black who has never been more beautiful than during these sessions, in my arrogant opinion.

"Farewell, Farewell" by Nicholas John Talbot and Richard ThompsonFarewell, farewell to you who would hear, You lonely travelers all.The cold north winds will blow again. The winding road does call.And will you never return to see Your bruised and beaten sons.O, I would, I would if welcome I were, For they loathe me every one.And will you never cut the cloth, Nor drink the light to be?And can you never swear a year To anyone but he?No, I will never cut the cloth, Nor drink the light to be,But I'll swear a year to he who lies Asleep alongside or me.Repeat first verse

Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever". All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.

My mom's father had lived in Utah for more than 20 years before coming back to the Balkans and starting his own family. My mom's sister then went back to the place some 40 years ago, stayed there with her husband and kids and now her grandchildren don't even now our language...and that's sad. Yes, this song is about the Irish and the Croats, the Serbs and the Poles, the Germans and the Italians and just about everyone who has ever left his homeland to start a new life someplace else.

RT wrote the lyrics, but tune is from the traditional "Willy O'Winsbury". Great song and beautiful version though. The lyrics apparently refer to RT's girlfriend, Jeannie Franklin who was killed in the Fairport car crash in 1969. She was a dress designer, thus the references to "cutting the cloth".

On another thread on these sessions, KZbin member Tomtscotland, who posted several and seems knowledgable, says that these BBC sessions will be released by "Pelicula Films" very soon. This is excellent news, as everybody had until now been saying you can't buy them, which I think is / would have been a travesty had remained so.

+coelacanth You won't because it is not traditional. It was written by the as-yet-hardly-shaving Richard Thompson when he was around 18 years old. It's on 1969's monster "Leige & Lief" album from Fairport Convention.

I have to disagree with Paul Lavan. I had thought that any song Sandy sang she owned for ever and anyone else would be, at best, a cover. Mary proved me wrong. To paraphrase a certain Jesuit, a shock. a terrible shock but a very pleasant one.
