Here's a Health to the Company (Traditional) SOTU - 647

What better way to celebrate the theme of Togetherness than with a very old and melancholy group sing?
Here's the chorus if you want to sing (and play) along:
Capo on 2:
Am Em G Am
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
C Am Am G
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
C Am Am G
Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain
Am Em G Am
For we may or might never all meet here again

I was thinking the same thing, and thinking of how to verbalize it, when I see Casper has already said it for us. Refreshing to hear this song.

[@chaoslibrarian]

Thanks!

[@CasparHarmer]

That was a beautiful rendition - I really liked the voice control you have with the perfect modulated trills you have in the song. Also... nice background :)

[@chaoslibrarian]

Thanks, Casp! I feel like my voice control hasn't fully returned since I was sick. It's still a bit weird in there, so good to hear it sounds better than it feels!

[@chaoslibrarian]

I think the background is gonna work out :)

​@chaoslibrarian Not gna lie, i picked up my uke and started playing along with some solo practice. This feels like it should be in film or series. Very nice!
ps drinking and being merry out of one glass might be how you got sick! Maybe separate glasses next time, eh? I hear this company called Dixie makes some good ones.

@@hands_on_lanzon lol yeah, this song predates germ theory. I hope no epidemics were started when this song circulated through those 18th century taverns!

This was gorgeous Marin. The listener wouldn’t know you’re still recovering if you didn’t say anything

[@chaoslibrarian]

Thanks so much, glad to hear it!
