What youre saying about characters coming to life through their songs, i find especially true with maritime ballads. The melodies and very straightforward lyrics have so much personality.

Jamie, this sounds terrific. Very mournful, and the ebb and flow of the dulcimer's energy really compliments your emotive singing style.

Characters in old ballads (and their offshoots) do take on lives in our minds.

Thanks Robin.There are a lot of fair young maids and brisk young sailors out there.The sailors are often called John Reilly.Like a lot of maritime/NL variants of old songs this version whittles things down to the bare essentials.Sing the song long enough and the characters come alive like old friends.
