Lovely and you weave in one of my favourite folk songs too. I love your voice.

SUMMER ISLES

When I climbed on Ben More Coigach
All those many years ago
The Summer Isles lay out below me
Each one different to behold
And the memory,s stayed inside me
The glistening sea and in its fold
This family of islands 
Yet each one is on its own

O Summer Isles could I forget you
Once my eyes have seen you so
You were here so long before me
You,ll be here when I grow cold

Wester Ross a land of beauty
Both my brothers climbed your hills
I followed soon behind them
Then our wives joined jacks with jills
Now they,re gone I am bereft and yet
Their memory warms me still
And each summer isle reminds me
Of each special role they filled

O Summer Isles could I forget you
Once my eyes have seen you so
You were here so long before me
You,ll be here when I grow cold

Isle Ristol tis the big one
Tanera Mor is bigger still
Mainland mountains stretch before you
When you climb upon its hill
Tanera Beg the smaller brother
Eilean Dubh where seas run deep         
So the big ships safely sail pass
This dark isle,s a bonny lass

O Summer Isles could I forget you
Once my eyes have seen you so
You were here so long before me
You,ll be here when I grow cold

Carn Deas,Meall Nan Gabhar         
Sgeir Revan and Glas Leac Mor  
All those skerries cairns and islets                                     
Welcome neighbours next to shore
They remind me of the folk I've known
Who fill my life no more
Yet each and ev’ry Summer Isle
Will go on for evermore

O Summer Isles could I forget you
Once my eyes have seen you so
You were here so long before me
You,ll be here when I grow cold

Summer Isles (by Brian Ralph)

Sounds from Monday evening

See I have built you a boat made of tin
With rice paper sails and a cabin within
You can be Captain and I will just sing

Out on the water will you feel at peace?
Far from the street lamps where no one will be
I know you have stories I'd quite like to hear

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen.

And if storms turn heavy and all hope seems lost
Kick off your boots, love and swim for the shore
I'll keep to my cabin and I'll swim no more

Perfectly in time but still out of step
Maybe this moment is all that you get 

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen

I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way

I'm just learning how to mix and this is my 9th attempt on this song. I thought I was done but now I can hear the bass is too muddy and I'll need to fix that. Oh well at least I'm learning something
