Difficult Listening Hour 2024.03.17: A little darker and gothier, until it gets a little bouncier towards the end, with totally otherwise unconnected nods to St. Paddy's Day at the open and close.

As a fan of #SillyWizard I have just re-discovered radio gold in the shape of a download I made of #TravellingFolk program from 12/12/13. The program, hosted by Bruce MacGregor celebrates the amazing fiddler #JohnnyCunningham on the 10th anniversary of his early passing. The program has some lovely interviews with & music from Johnny & the band members. I wish I could share this wonderful & moving recording. Not sure how or of the legality.
Silly Wizard - Donald McGillavry / O'Neill's Cavalry March
Silly Wizard was a great Scottish folk band.
So my lads I needs must leave you
My intentions no' to grieve you
Nor indeed would I deceive you
Oh I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her
To court her and attain her
I fear my heart's in danger
From the Queen of all Argyll
The Broom o' the Cowdenknowes
Silly Wizard
A traditional Scots' song dating from before the 17th century. The SW version tells of a sheperd who is banished from his own country because he loved the fairest lass.
"Oh the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
The broom o' the cowdenknowes"
