"The Black Velvet Band" is a traditional folk song collected from singers in Ireland, Australia, England, Canada and the United States describing how a young man is tricked and then sentenced to transportation to Australia, a common punishment in the British Empire during the 19th century.
My wife and I are fully vaccinated. Thankfully.
I currently am experiencing a mental block toward playing music. Fishing sewing, gun & knife collecting, & loving on my rather large family. I feel pretty dog gone good.
I am glad you have had a good go of it. Good for you.
@terry-wilson Hello Terry, I've missed you and your playing. I am indeed well, hoping to get vaccinated before June. What about you? It appears you're still on the right side of the sod, that's a good thing my friend.
Nicely done, Gordon.
I sincerely hope you have been well, my friend
@robin-thompson and @ariane thank you so much for your kindness.
So nice to hear this song by you - I loved to play it in our hobby band.
These old folk ballads are treasures. Nicely played & sung, Gordon!
