Good Morning Lords and Ladies


No, it's not the First of May yet, but it soon will be!

I am looking forward to our first week of May Songs, starting this Friday.

In no particular order, the first week will feature Vic Gammon's new First of May; The Bee Gees classic take on the same title; a mountain dulcimer instrumental by Tony Gillam; Jim Wigfield's study of the life of the Mayfly; Brian Hunt revisiting Padstow; a Copper Family song played and sung by Steve Fry; and those pesky Ultra-Ray Violets attacking the North Bedfordshire May Song.

And that's just the first week. There are more songs and tunes in the can from Phil Harley, William Duddy, Stuart Raistrick, The Spectacles, Ro Johnson, Steve Smith and Ant Wilson - with a promise of even more to come.

I can't wait to get started!

The songs will be released daily on the Facebook Group "CMLE Play (Songs For May)" together with additional notes, links and lyrics on this Blog. Please support our musical community by sharing on social media whenever you can.

The Summer is icumen in.

I have gone all hi-tech with this planning board to schedule our May songs. Thanks for the contributions and promises of contributions received so far. It looks as if I will have enough material to release a song a day for the first 3 weeks in May, so if you have any more or know of anyone else who might like to post a song do get in touch.
