I was also thinking of doing a more CW-appropriate Tommy Jarrell/Fred Cockerham tune. Any other suggestions?Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282336250587801931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046390577010598030.post-12111533011576414612011-03-03T16:14:57.903-07:002011-03-03T16:14:57.903-07:00Brendan,

It is a fascinating and mysterious ...Thanks, Roldo. It is a fascinating and mysterious ballad. I chose to name the mix "Spring of '65" because the song of that name seems to speak of a thing (namely, the war) without ever directly stating it. I admire this quality in any form of art, and it's something to which I've aspired here and elsewhere. As for the song itself, I really think it hints at what a lot of what veterans encounter in dealing with returning home after surviving a war. It is likely, however, that the "spring of '65" reference may be an alteration to previous versions of the tune. The entry in Robert B. Waltz and David G. Engle's extensive Traditional Ballad Index (http://www.csufresno.edu/folklore/ballads/LC19.html) is worth a read.<br /><br />The only other rendition I've encountered is by The Holy Modal Rounders. I would love to hear your version.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282336250587801931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046390577010598030.post-42759463402202704592011-02-09T12:23:10.849-07:002011-02-09T12:23:10.849-07:00Lovely compilation, which I'll be sharing with...Lovely compilation, which I'll be sharing with a few like-minded friends here (Winnipeg). I'd be interested to know why you chose "Spring Of '65" for the link-name. I've always been fascinated by that tune and recently recorded a version using Appalacian instruments.roldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197550409229956824noreply@blogger.com
