Song of the Week – The Wild Rover
I put new strings on my guitar prior to last week’s recording. I’m not sure if you can tell the difference but I sure can. =) I’m using Martin Silk & Steels right now. I like the nice bright sound but they don’t seem to last as long as other strings. I guess I can better compare them now that I have a regular playing schedule.
This week’s song is probably from the 19th Century. There’s some discussion over whether it’s a temperance song or an anti-temperance song. It’s on my songlist as a drinking song so I guess that tells you which side of the argument I come down on.
