I am married with two adult sons and two grandsons, one from each son. I have a website about my folk music which you may like to visit. It is a wiki so you are welcome to contribute, add information or your own folk song page or links to your own site, or just use it to find lyrics and chords. For my Featured Video, I normally choose a video that has not had many views. When it reaches 500 views I change it for another one.Drinking Songs - This playlist of drinking songs puts in one place all my songs about the joys of alcohol. It was requested by terryBob9000000.
Lew Dite and Raymond - I had the opportunity to visit and sing with Lew Dite. These are videos we made of this momentous event - with the help of Jenni and Yoong.
Lullabies - This playlist was originally combined with children's songs, and meant for my first grandson, Felix, and later for my second grandson, Axel, as well. Now they are no longer babies, and I have realised that children's songs and lullabies are two very different genres. So I've now put the lullabies...
Mining Songs - I should call this the Tony Oppegard Collection. A lawyer fighting for miners' rights, he has taught me many great coal-mining songs, and given me many more to learn.
a capella - All the songs I do without accompaniment.
Buffy Sainte-Marie - Buffy Sainte-Marie is one of my favourite folk-singers. I love her unique vibrato style of singing and she has written some very good songs too.
YouTube Covers - There are some great siner songwriters on YouTube, and I am just starting to do a few covers of their songs.
Songs from Shows - Sometimes the songs I sing can not really be classified as folk songs. This playlist is for songs from movies, stage shows and operettas. I don't expect it to get very long!
Welsh Songs - As I am a member of the Hong Kong Welsh Male Voice Choir, it is appropriate to have a playlist of Welsh songs. Some will be in Welsh and some are English translations.
