The
Lakes Of Ponchartrain (5
Mb / 4:17)

folk song, probably brought back from British and French soldiers
fighting in Louisiana and Canada in the War of 1812. |

Marylin
Monroe (4.1 Mb / 3:30)
A song which
traces the iconic Marylin Monroe's career, a very sensative
song of the fragile and darker trappings of fame. |

Jock o'
Braidisley (5.2 Mb /
4:29)
A traditional
ballad that is thought to have originated in the Scottish
Borders, with the earliest known versions being set there.
The story seems to refer to an ancient blood-feud and, according
to Sir Walter Scott, is originally from Nithsdale. |
