myOtaku.com: Celtic Rune

Stop talking while I'm interrupting!
(I got that from the most quality recording of "Sloop John B." ever. I say this not because the Beach Boys version is crap in comparison to the song when sung in a vaguely reggae style (though that is true), but because the two guys singing it spend the first 2 minutes arguing over whether or not the song is Calypso or not because it's only Calypso if you improvize. So they argue about improvizing. So they sing it, and one guy keeps improvizing out of time to be obnoxious. They actually only sing about half the song, as the other half is spent arguing. It's on the TimeLife Treasury of Folk Songs, sung by Chet and someone or other, I think. If you dig folkies, look into it.

Other quality stuff: The Smothers Brothers. On this CD, they sing "Pretoria," and have a particularly good bit on whistling, since the only marching song they know besides "Pretoria" is the march from "The Bridge on teh River Kwai(sp?)". Whistling is because the words are naughty. They suggest that you whack all children whistling songs upside the head, as they are clearly being naughty.

Guess who only has 4 CDs of her collections left un-MP3ed?

I have a whole lot more Celtic stuff than I ever knew ...
