My aim on this channel is to share my love of folk music. My posts include original as well as traditional songs and covers of my favourite singer song-writers, such as Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Eric Bogle.
I have been singing folk songs for about 60 years, and play guitar (badly) and fiddle (even more badly).
I have produced 5 CDs:
Axis of Evil and other True Stories
Laws of Chance
Gospel Ship
Pigs Might Fly and other Politically Incorrect Ballads
Who Needs Reality? (with Lew Dite and Ukulele Katie)
I have also collaborated with Lew Dite on a CD of American folk songs simply called "Songs".
I hope you enjoy my channel. All comments are appreciated, including constructive criticism.
Thank you to all those who have subscribed and/or commented.

4718. Loch Lomond (Traditional Scottish) with Bob – Celtic Concert at Fawkner Park
The penultimate song from our concert of Irish and Scotish songs at South Yarra Senior Centre in Fawkner Park.
Loch Lomond is a large lake located between the counties of Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire in Scotland. The song was first published in 1841, and uses the tune of an eighteenth century Scottish song, Kind Robin Lo’s Me. There is also an Irish version called Red is the Rose, which is sometimes (wrongly) attributed to Tommy Makem, who popularised the song.
There are a number of interpretations of The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond. One story attributes it to a Jacobite Highlander, captured after the 1745 rising and sentenced to death, who is addressing another rebel who will not be ex...

A song from our concert of Irish and Scottish songs at South Yarra Senior Centre in Fawkner Park. Though it is often thought to be an Irish song, this is actually from Scotland, based on a song called "Up Amang The Heather" or "The Hills of Bennachie".
