"The Lakes of Pontchartrain" - Aoife O'Donovan - 11/16/2013

I was awakened from a deep nap yesterday, by this song on the radio. In my drowsy condition, the notes sounded like showers of silver coins and pearls. And it seemed twice as long. Of course, with waking up, the magic diminishes.


This is an old traditional song of unknown origin, if you believe youtube, which has many versions of this song.


Bob Dylan


Paul Brady, 1977.
