Nonsense is nonsense. But the history of nonsense is scholarship - Saul Lieberman to an audience at Jewish Theological Seminary, introducing a lecture on the Kabbalah by Gerhard Scholem, sometime in the 1940s. Quoted by Cynthia Ozick, "The Heretic," New Yorker, 9/2/2002, p. 145
Greetings all..I just finished a neck set on a 60s Harmony 12-string and knocked of this approximation of BWMs Pal O Mine while doing the sound clip for the guitar. I love listening to and playing this song, and did some research on it. Not sure of the accuracy but it appears it was a WWI era pop song, but totally different from McTell's versions. I couldn't find any transition songs from the original to McTell's, but I guess that's just more evidence of McTell's musical genius. Hope you like it, Tom
Thanks, dj, for the National Jukebox link (in the 'pop music' post) I checked it out and there is a '22 version of this tune sung by Charles Harrison called 'Call Me Back Pal O Mine'
