I’ll sprout wings and fly
Dave did some 11th hour rewrites of Drunken before he left for today.
Here’s the new version.
The old version for reference.
He added about five new vocal parts, including a bit of an old Tommy Jarrell* tune. I like it now (for the first time).
*incidentally, Tommy Jarrell proposed the best way possible:
Tommy had known Nina about two years before he married her. He proposed while they were hoeing corn one day. He said “Nina, we’ll get married if you want to. But I’ll tell you right now, I make whiskey, I play poker, and I go to dances, make music, and I don’t know whether I’ll ever quit that or not. But, if you think we can get along now, we’ll get married – and if you don’t think we can, right now’s the time to say something.”
“Well,” Nina said, “I believe we’d get along all right.” And that was the way it happened.
