Nice work Frank. The up tempo feel of The Girl I Left Behind Me (known as Brighton Camp around here, I live ten miles from Brighton) is anticipation -
And if the night be ever so dark Or ever so wet and windy I must return to the Brighton Camp And the girl I left behind me. Adjust windy to rhyme. That was the pronunciation in Shakespeares time. Technical point. Morpeth Rant isn't a hornpipe. It's a rant, more like a reel. King of the Fairies English?! And so jolly. I played this last night along with about twenty other people in a warm friendly pub and I still felt shivers down my spine. This is a tune you do not play at midnight in a churchyard under a full moon for fear of who (or what) you might summon up.
