the first is "hymn to breaking strain", preumably as performed by fish and someone else.

12 is "I'd like to visit the moon" by kermit.

I recognize the 4th, but don't remember the title.

#1 yes, of course. But this particular track is not leslie fish singing it. One of her protegees.

#12 yes!

#4 "The Cutty Wren", ceolrince guessed it.

Silly man! "I'd like to visit the moon" is sung by Ernie, not Kermit!

I've heard the Cutty Wren sung by Ian & Sylvia, but it's unlikely that what it is in this case.

[sedesdraconis]

Ah. I just have it in my library as Jim Henson, so it could have been either.

#6 is "Are Ye Sleepin', Maggie?", possibly by the Tannahill Weavers. #4 is the "Cutty Wren", I think?

[sedesdraconis]

#6 yep. Not the Tannahill Weavers in this case, but one of their direct muscial desdendents.

#4 is indeed "The Cutty Wren"!

#6 Dougie Maclean probably?

14. is Barenaked Ladies, I probably have it here somewhere.

#3: "love is like a bottle of gin" (or whatever the title is) Mag. Fields
#7: "Big Mess" by either Devo or Dev2.0: i thought Devo said "Cowboy Jim," but i thought Dev2.0 said "a girl with a gun." shows what i know.

fun meme!

[sedesdraconis]

yes, and yes.

i think i checked the lyrics on Big Mess, it's not a song i know very well. Pretty sure they say Kim.
