  1. The Old Joe Set

From the recording The Old Joe Set

Share

Two tunes here, Old Joes Biggin and Clarke respectively. In the first Old Joe Biggin is working through some issues with our satellite:

Old Joe Biggin, Old Joe Biggin
He were as merry as a fiddler's tune
Old Joe Biggin, Old Joe Biggin
Old Joe Biggin took boggart at Moon.

On a more serious note, we can now present the restored version of Old Joe Clarke: though familiar to all as a fiddle tune, recent research has revealed its original format for bagpipe plus as many ukeleles as are necessary to compete. The version here includes piano, tin whistle, low budget percussion and some rather intrusive saxophones.

From the CD Toy Box Bop by Mike Jackson and Ian Blake. (long deleted and excreted by ABC/EMI: some folks have no regard for scholarship...)
