New York Girls
Robert Palomo
This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy’s Day.
Warning: the chorus can be addictive!
REMIXED AND MASTERED - late July 2013.
slkrell - that's my bodhrán synthesizer, lol. A high-tom played gingerly. A real bodhrán would be lower pitch, but the lower toms come out too muddy. Enough Jameson and and nobody should care.
Love the drum thump
Remixd and mastered with Ozonne 5 (rank newbie mode). Can't stop messing with this durn tune!
I remember your song but I think this is smoother, the rough edges removed. I would say it's a lot better now. I do like your Irish accent too.
@GregConnor - been re-recorded from scratch & 'tis needed remix. Will miss St. Paddy's this year :-(
A lot of fun. Great vocals and very pretty whistle.
Love this ...first heard this song or a versionj of it back in '76 on SteelEye Span's Commoners Crowm album....the late great Peter Sellers did a spot with them and supplied a ukulele part...this different but the same ....superb......
Ahhhhhh . . . St Patrick's Day. My favorite religious holiday. Where is that song you wrote a few years ago?
The remix really sounds good..
