Johnny and Marching

G'day All,

As I sit here with a little Scotch with 96.7 QBNFM playing in the background just reading and watching information on engine rebuilding and alike, a song came over the airways and I was just taken by it in way I still can't describe :) Anyway the song was called "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" by Anita Carter. I've not been able to locate a youtube demonstrating of her rendition, however here are two renditions, a slow tempo ( Listen Here ) and fast tempo (Listen Here).

Not sure if it was the slow beat version Anita song, her voice especially for each of her "hurroo, hurroo"

While reading more about these lyrics and the many variations I came across the opposite version "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" - Listen Here. Again many covered version but such as this one - (Listen Here)

Thinks its time for another Scotch :)

Talk with yer all later
