When I'd skimmed Baa, Baa Black Sheep recently one morning after catching a cold, I'd gone into it mocking Punch. Literally ingrained, to every companion's detriment. Hahahahah. Adversity may produce a phantasmagorical phenomena for all but that of our own individual inertia's sake. Certainly not to be ignored, for it cannot be avoided; Nietzsche, the current praise of those given to convention but an enlightening one indeed. The Gay Science, Book One - 26 and 27 and 56; Book Three - 19; Book Four - 341. A sobering muse, my dear friend! I bid you glad tidings, Eric - and hope your holiday season proves wondrous!
Always good to hear English songs, music from the isles has been growing on me as of late. Well done. On a separate note however, I seem to recall a rendition of a Californian song I believe you covered a while back called "Gold Mining Man" that I quite enjoyed. I can't seem to find the cover, so I was wondering if you know or remember anything about this?
Yeah, that'd be a cover of Pastor Steven Anderson's brother during my adolescence - the church was playing my abysmal psalm renditions at their functions and services - as a gesture of goodwill. I've inflicted all the same terror, but since been estranged from the merry people. The performance was embarrassing - was actually able to recover some of the instrumentals from a great while ago, which I may upload tomorrow night but if you'd like to hear Gold Mining Man, perhaps I'll do a new version. Cheers, pal.
@@mysterymichaelman That sounds good, thank you for the response. It would definitely be grand to hear you perform the song once again, and I am interested in those instrumentals you mentioned. Sorry to hear of the performance as well, though I feel it could not have been all that bad. Meanwhile, all the best to you, and Mr. Anderson. Cheers and keep up the fine work.
After enjoying this version of the song, the Kipling quote spoke to me, or rather, about me.

I like this! What instruments are you playing on this one?
@@GhostontheMoor Just the auld bagpipe and guitar! I've been playing this country dance since my mid-teens.
@@mysterymichaelman It works really well. Tell me more about the bagpipes! (Here or in an email!)
