(It's playing on my CD player now!) FireGuyFrank Title: Re: Newgrange Chorus Lyric Post by: Maggie on July 02, 2007, 11:43AM Mouth music started out as a substitute for instruments.
When I was a little girl, I remember farmers gathering in my aunt's farmhouse after work. They would have an impromptu séisiún of singing and reciting poetry. Much of it was patriotic, or sad songs of exile. If nobody brought any instruments they would provide rhythm and accompaniment by making musical noises.........."mouth music". Whenever musical instruments were neither available nor affordable, they invented ways to provide the backing.......spoons, whistles made from reeds etc. You may have noticed Ray Fean plays the spoons in ANJ.

I love that part. :DTitle: Re: Newgrange Chorus Lyric Post by: KiernanKate on July 02, 2007, 11:58AM Rich when does he do that?
