FOR YOU (for radio play)

On the eve of Halloween I got in my canoe with a banjo and a field recorder, and recorded some train songs as they came to mind, under the endangered Horseshoe Bridge at Kennet Mouth. This musical soundscape (!) includes train noises as they go over the bridges, the hiss of the nearby gasworks, the clunk of paddle on canoe, and the transition of reverberations from upstream under Horseshoe Bridge, to downstream, when my canoe became ensnared in a Buddleia tree. Fortunately I'd covered most of the train songs that I wanted to play by then. Starting with a verse from Elisabeth Cotton's Freight train, drifting into Railroad Man, (Alan Lomax and the Ramblers), with snippets from other train references by Jonny Cash and Elvis Presley. This is the first recording for a project about songs in places.

One of my students recently requested we learn this in their singing sessions and I thought I'd re-work it (simplify) it a bit on Ukulele. Hope you like it!
