Something I'm toying with
I sort of want to have a song or two that I'm comfortable singing around the fire at SCA events. The Beggar Laddie, especially variation E, seems like a good one.
The only problem is that I don't think my usual song learning method will work for it. I learn songs by listening to them over-and-over-and-over. For something I'm just going to be singing along with the radio, listening to only one version is fine. For this, where I won't have a radio or other people singing along, I think I'm going to need to hear lots of different versions. Unfortunately this only seems to have been recorded a couple of times. There's the Ewan McColl version, and the version from A Folk Song A Day.
If not this one, then I'll come up with something else.
